Jan 2 | Predictions for 2012
It's taken me a week to get my thoughts together about what 2012 may bring us, but here's to a ritual that I've kept up for the better part of a decade.
Nov 6 | The halfway point
It's halfway into the first quarter of my last year at Stanford, and I feel as though I have kept these pages woefully uninformed of the personal things that accompany me every day.
Oct 11 | Summer reflections
As it so happens it takes about a month for me to have the time to shift gears between one thing and the next, and as such it's high time for me to put down to pixel the kinds of amazing adventures I've been able to have this past summer.
Apr 22 | My iPhone tracker log on video
On April 14, 2011, Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden discovered that iOS4 on the iPhone was covertly tracking the user's location on the cellphone, persisting that information across backups and restorations.

As part of my work with the wonderful Fresh Tilled Soil team I've been motivated to do a bit of spring cleaning on this venerable website of mine (allow me to point out that I have written a blog of some shape or form since 2003!).
Apr 18 | On the Art of Persuasion
I was recently made aware of a fascinating topic called captology, which is referred to as "the study of computers as persuasive technologies".
Dec 3 | A little bit more focus
This is one of those posts that sound more like a rant, but I hope the future me will someday look back on it as a snapshot of who I am today, (like this post).
As I continue to evaluate what it is I find most important to my life and what I want to pursue in a big picture way, I've realized that I keep on going back to three things, and maybe somewhere in the future I will have the opportunity to combine them:
