ΓΕΙΑ ΣAΣ · UNDER DECONSTRUCTION
My friends call me a Magpie. I'm attracted to shiny technologies.
The Arpanet, the web, AI — almost five decades of showing up early to new technology, building with it, and helping people make sense of it. These days that means teaching, speaking, and writing. I'm based in Europe, and have spoken and lectured across the EU, the Mediterranean, South America, and Australia — with the occasional trip back to the States.

The Pattern
When something new shows up, I tend to walk toward it…
As a kid in the late 1960s, I sat mesmerized in front of the TV, watching Captain Kirk and his crew exploring strange new worlds every week. Travel! Adventure! The coolest technology! What wasn't to love?
I've spent nearly fifty years doing my own version of that — boldly going past the edge of the world I knew, in technology and most everywhere else. Some of the promise really delivered. A lot of it didn't. I've had a front-row seat for both. The curiosity's still there, but today there's a much healthier dose of "who does this serve?"
WHERE I CALL HOME
I'm in Greece these days — a paradise with easy access to three continents. Best. Life. Ever.
Getting in touch
I love playing music in groups, exploring new tech, teaching others, and collaborating to solve big problems. Gimme a shout.
