It’s been quite a while since I’ve gotten a few things off of my chest and since I’m always full of peeves and annoyances I thought it was time to unleash:
- One day you’re getting recruited by another crypto wallet vendor, the next their users are getting drained of funds. Dodged a bullet there…
- Apple has released its XR headset but XR as a daily experience is still decades away. I worked on Mozilla VR 10 years ago and the industry hasn’t gained an ounce of traction since then. Why?…
- …because the truth is that no one wants to put on a headset, looking like an idiot, for experiences. Augmented reality’s success requires the least amount of friction for success…

- Feels like the era of blogs is well and truly over. Traffic is down, advertisers drying up, and even I don’t read as many blogs as I used to…
- …and I can’t necessarily switch to media because I have a face for radio and voice for the silent films. Our podcast was fun though…
- Seeing the media celebrate Manchester City for winning the treble after 115 charges of financial rules breaches, also known as cheating, shows how easily sportswashing works…
Am I wrong? Am I right? Bring it.
