Marking 10 years(!) on the Board of IT History Society, after being offered Gideon Gartner's seat. Hard to believe I'm on a team with the co-inventor of RAID, the founder of Atari, the founder of Archive.org, editor of IEEE Annals, leading authors, financiers, & more!

Brilliant #innovation in this alarm clock at Castle Pena in Sintra, Portugal. It has two parts. On the right side is a sundial. On the left side is a magnifying glass aimed at the fuse of a tiny cannon. Every morning the cannon is armed, and at noon the sunlight ignites the fuse.

Should startups have formal documents for Job Descriptions and Standard Operating Procedures? Or are those throwbacks which belong in the past? aaronsylvan.com/project/sops…

The first TEDFestNYC events were in Brooklyn, back in 2017 and 2018... They skipped 2019, and I was so excited for 2020 but of course it got canceled. There wasn't even mention of a 2021. How many wonderful traditions will be permanently canceled because of loss of momentum?

I’m a huge fan of new technologies, especially imaging. And the @NASA space program. But I gotta say, this pair of images circulating makes #JWST look like a giant waste, only incrementally better than @NASAHubble. Show the other stuff!
A music video to the tune of “The Passenger” by @IggyPop except it’s “The Messenger” (you know, zuckerware)… and in the end everyone switches to @signalapp.
