I bet the collective nostalgia around Dr. Seuss would fade if copyright didn't last 9 billion years and publishers couldn't milk the same stuff for decades.

Is It Time to Move On From Dr. Seuss?
August 12th marks the 65th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham, a book whose orange cover fills me with delicious nostalgia. Svetlana Boym defines nostalgia as “a longing for a home that …

Getting Real With AI.
When I read that some conversations with ChatGPT had appeared in Google searches, I did a search for “Doc Searls” ChatGPT and got a long and not-bad but not entirely accurate AI summary…

A chart showing the use of the Xzibit meme over time compared to the average number of Pimp My Ride episodes actually watched by those meme users would be valuable internet research.

What's up next for me?
Time for an update!
Okay, so, it's been a while since my last post. But I've been busy! In addition to my job at 18F (RIP, more on that here), I've written a ton of music and done a bunch of art over the last couple years. Blogging's fallen to the wayside. But! Big changes are happening. My five-year plan is in the garbage, I'm looking for a new job, and I needed a better spot for my portfolio than a Figma deck.
