Now
This is my /now page — a snapshot of what I’m focused on right now. Inspired by nownownow.com, it’s what I’d tell a friend I hadn’t seen in a year.
Building
I’m pulling on threads in AI, interfaces, and physical computing — small explorations asking “what if?” Some turn into something. Others teach me what doesn’t work. I’m sharing what I find on this site and through my newsletter, Off My Board.
Working On
At Baker Library (Harvard Business School), I’m leading a team reimagining how knowledge experts navigate AI transformation. We’re building systems that help librarians and researchers understand what’s possible with emerging tools while staying grounded in what matters: helping people find what they need.
Thinking About
How we maintain humanity as technology accelerates. What gets lost when we optimize everything. The difference between tools that feel human and tools that feel hollow. The soul that exists in all software.
Reading
I’m always reading too many things at once — usually a mix of technical documentation, science fiction, and books about craft and making. Right now I’m particularly interested in how people built things before we had frameworks for everything.
