Now: November

These days I'm thinking about how technology and AI can make getting together in real life more personal, more whimsical, and a little more magical. Making it easier to show up is part of that. Making it feel worth showing up is the part I'm most interested in.

One place I'm exploring that is Media Club. What started as a book club is now open to books, TV, albums, movies, and whatever else we want to spend time with. I'm building software specifically for this small group, rather than asking the group to fit into something made for everyone.

I'm interested in the details around the gathering as much as the gathering itself: what we choose, how we invite each other, what gives an evening its character, and what stays with us afterward. Those are places where a little technology can support a lot of real life.

Away from the screen, there's tennis and life on Bainbridge Island with my wife and our two boys. The question connecting all of it is the same one I've been working on since SF Social: what makes people want to come back to each other?
