I hope you’re having a swell time. I probably am.
Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by technology. I now realize that the magic of technology is best unleashed by brilliance across many fields: science, technology, design, leadership, management, business, government and public policy.
In this blog, I write essays related to these topics and more. I believe that you can’t have clear writing without clear thinking. I write to bring clarity to my mind.
It makes me very happy when I hear that my writing helps others. If you find the content here useful, I’ll be very happy if you let me know.
I also love it when people subscribe to this blog’s mailing list. If you subscribe, you’ll get new articles by email. You get to read new content as it is published, directly from your email.
