I’ve served as President of the VCU Computer Science Industry Advisory Board for many years. As a proud CS alum, I always enjoy previewing the senior capstone projects. These students continue to raise the bar every year!

Congrats to the Class of 2025! 🎓 #RamPride

I had a TIME last week. Shared my work and reconnected with brilliant minds from NY to FL. Grateful to speak at Hearst (Time Study is in their portfolio) and at UF’s CAME (I’m affiliate faculty). Big 🙏🏽 to HearstLab for putting our faces on the building at 57th & 8th. My kids are impressed. More soon

I’m juggling multiple week-to-week shows like it’s the 1900s. I guess the streaming companies finally figured out that binge-watching isn’t great for business.

What are you watching right now?

Wondering how many business days it’ll take for folks to realize that this had little to do with Drake. #SuperBowlLVIX 🇺🇸

Happy Thanksgiving! Breaking news: I finally claimed victory in Uno, despite shifting rules, mid-game sabotage, and what can only be described as a family conspiracy.

Today and every day, we honor those who served. My deepest gratitude goes to all veterans, especially my dad, our hero, who earned the Bronze Star for valor in Vietnam. Despite recent health battles, his bravery endures, and we root for him daily. Thank you to all who have served!

Here's a visual of my experience logging into Bluesky vs. Threads vs. Twitter (regarding "vibes").

Had a great time at the Multnomah Whiskey Library in Portland. Big thanks to Chris (the lead at Time Study’s Portland office) for hosting!

Girl. Ever told someone you were “fine”, but inside you’re a mess & you know they don’t want to hear about your personal problems 😂

Fine. “Doing great!”

So when I say “I’m fine”, I may be answering from our shared context. Re: Business - it’s swell. We’re killing it.

Personally - some days … shambles. Like this gif 👇🏽

AI (broadly) enables machines to exhibit characteristics we associate with human-like intelligence. It’s a toolbox, not MAGIC or a buzzword to impress VCs (that don’t understand the tech & misuse the terms). TOOLS 👇🏽
