This is my first newsletter of 2024, and it’s a long one. I look forward to writing more during the year. I won’t promise they will be sent on a strict schedule, but I’m setting an overall goal to get back into the rhythm of writing these long-form posts here and in newsletter form for this year’s subscribers list.
Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts by email or on Mastodon.
Tolerating intolerance is not a good strategyWhen I started this newsletter, I deliberately chose a name that was both specific and generic at the same time. This choice might have felt anodyne then, and perhaps you didn’t even think about it. The title was there to express the feeling that I had about how digital technology was going to become further and further entrenched in our personal and professional lives. On that front, I was not wrong.
A brief look at the state of affairs and a few recommendationsSorry for the hiatus. I *really* wanted to write more here, it just wasn’t possible.
To make it up, this one is a fairly long one, despite taking an axe to the original draft. 🤣 I hope you like it, and don’t hesitate to ping me if you want me to expand on any areas that I have deliberately kept brief.
Writing a paper for an International journal resulted in a better understanding and stopped me in my tracks.Excuse the rambling. This is written in the true sense of blogging, and it started life as a short blog post idea, transforming into this, for what it’s worth. So I decided to cross-post it here first. I’ll publish it verbatim on my blog soon. That blog is another outlet for my brain, and not exclusively about matters digital.
Take a peek here...Rather than whine about how I’ve been busy and haven’t had the time or resources to write too much for this newsletter, I thought I’d share a few of the things I’ve been doing so you can get up to speed. Forgive me for the shameless self-promotion.
I’m currently writing an article on tech regulation. I’m looking at it from a different angle that I think will be interesting.
