About me.

These days I'm a speaker, consultant and writer.

For ten years, I was editor-in-chief of BtoB, the only magazine devoted to covering the intersection of business strategy and business marketing.

Prior to BtoB, I held senior editorial posts at a number of A-list IT publications, including CMP's [now UBM's] InternetWeek, Mecklermedia's Web Week and IDG's Computerworld.

Added all up, that's twenty-plus years of journalism experience.

Here's my resume. Here's my short bio.

My coverage areas these days include technology in education, healthcare, hospitality, and marketing.

AI on Tunein

Everyone’s afraid of AI. I’ll join them when TuneIn stops playing half my ads in Spanish, a language I don't understand.

 

Update: Days after posting this, TuneIn started serving me ads in Chinese. I kid you not.

Don't piss off the person you live with who has your medical power of attorney. 

 

End of the Penny

I saw this coming years ago, and so cleverly began hoarding these rust-colored beauties. I have hundreds of pounds of them, safely stored. And when in 20 or 50 years these objects become collector items, I will corner the market. See me for more financial tips.
