About this site

Emerging tech, breaking news on the beat of the futurity.

Not all articles will be sent as Emails. My plan is to write high frequency short minimalist blogs.

A New Social Contract

Ghost charges me for the number of "members", so here I will create many tiers and actively prune the list, so if you aren't active you might be removed. You have to opt-in and engage, so I want to give folk a different sort of experience.
