Introducing OnCue: A Live Newsroom for Your Own Site
One piece of entrepreneurial advice I picked up in Silicon Valley has stuck with me: Build something that solves a problem you have. It’s an idea that became my guiding principle as I set out on what I’ve been calling my “summer of building”—a run of months spent turning app concepts into working tools. It’s […]
Vibe Coding ClawBeat: How AI Helped Me Launch My First Real App
They say that “the first step is always the hardest.” It’s the thought that tends to surface whenever I begin something new—photography, writing, or a skill I’m not sure I’m ready to learn. The hesitation is real. But after taking the leap, the floodgates open, and chances are you might find your next passion. Take […]
Returning to VentureBeat as a Contributing Writer
Update: My tenure at VentureBeat ended on June 30, 2024. After a six-year absence, I’m proud to announce I’ll be freelancing for VentureBeat starting in April. But unlike my first stint in 2015 where I had a broad mandate for coverage, this time, I’m exclusively focusing on artificial intelligence. For the past few years, VentureBeat […]
Welcome to the New TheLetterTwo.com
Five years ago, I wrote a similar post to what you’re about to read regarding what you’ll see on thelettertwo.com. When I started writing more than 15 years ago, my blog was separate from my website. It was initially hosted on Blogger and rather than residing on thelettertwo.com, I opted for the subdomain blog.thelettertwo.com. In […]
Introducing Filed
I’m a news junkie—I admit it—and spend countless hours at work, on my commute to and from, and even during my personal time scouring the internet looking for what’s going on in the world. Whether it’s tech-related, business, political, world, sports, or entertainment, I yearn to consume that knowledge. And I’m obsessed with sharing the […]
Joining Team Flipboard
I have a compulsion where I’d like to be one of the first to share the news with others, either as a writer or a curator. It’s what drew me to initially blog here, for Bub.blicio.us (thanks to Brian Solis), then professionally for The Next Web and VentureBeat, along with joining social media and using […]
Just Setting Up My New Website
Having a website is a means of putting roots on the internet, like having an address where people can find more information about you — this isn’t anything new. Like many folks, I have had a site online for many years, with the most recent one in existence for eight years, but as my life […]
So I’ve Joined A Startup
Earlier this month I announced my departure from VentureBeat, a job that afforded me the ability to cover many of the tech industry’s movers and shakers, along with up-and-comers. Since then, I’ve kept my next steps a secret, but not anymore. In a first for me, I’ve decided to join the startup scene: I’m now […]
Some Personal News…
Nearly two years ago, I joined VentureBeat to partake in an opportunity to write about interesting companies, and indeed I have. Working at this great publication has given me a chance to not only compete alongside the best, but cover fascinating tidbits of news and interview amazing folks, such as Vint Cerf, Y Combinator’s Sam […]
Changing Winds
When I moved to San Francisco nearly eight years ago, I did so to explore the roots of technology and to gain a better understanding of how people can use the Internet and its byproducts to better their lives. Along the way, I’ve worked in agencies helping clients adapt and leverage these things to build better marketing […]
