Clear writing shows clear thinking. Always has, always will. AI creates the illusion that if the words look smart, the thinking must be too. But you can’t fake the work behind the words, no matter how good the tools make them look.

The Future Belongs to Clear Thinkers, Not Fast Writers
Clear writing shows clear thinking. AI hasn’t changed that. But the idea that a prompt can turn anyone into a seasoned writer is a load of crap.

My new year's resolution was to let people know when I think something is good and it's been a roaring success. Highly recommended.
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Robots, Humans, and the Edges of the Open Web
This episode explores what the “open web” truly means amid shifting standards, AI automation, and evolving economic pressures. Drawing on discussions from IETF 124 and W3C TPAC, it highlights how browser architects, policy experts, and researchers are reexamining long-held assumptions about access, interoperability, and the role of automated agents. Learn why openness isn’t a binary state but a multidimensional spectrum shaped by values such as attribution, consent, and continuity. The conversation offers a grounded look at how technical governance and community norms must adapt to keep the web both usable and sustainable.

Joel Edgerton Talks 'Train Dreams,' Nature, and Finding Peace in the Wild
The Australian actor grew up on the edge of a forest and never quite left it behind. Now, with ‘Train Dreams’ on Netflix, he’s exploring what it means to live—and lose—our connection to the wild.

IDC’s new vendor profile from Dave McCarthy, Jennifer Cooke, and Jasdeep Singh nails why AI inference is pushing hard toward the edge. I wrote about how that shift maps to Akamai’s own evolution and distributed cloud architecture. Good reading for cloud/edge/AI folks.

As we all set off on holiday travel a few reminders of gratitude:

While everyone else was lined up for Wicked last night, I popped in to see Rental Family. Couple of observations:
* So many people in the lobby dressed as witches. Very cool.
* Brendan Fraser is a fricken treasure. Put him in everything.
* Writer/director Hikari creates beautiful art.
