I've written for various technical publications over the course of the past thirty years. Periodically I'll post some of my older writings here:
  • Here's an article I wrote back in April 1992 about the addictive power of Tetris.
  • I wasn't a believer in laptop computers until 1994 - this is what changed my mind.
  • ​Near the end of 1994, I speculated about the potential for a low cost UNIX computer.
  • In 2001 I reviewed the first phone to be marketed as a smartphone.
  • I reviewed Writely, a word processor that ran in the browser in early March 2006, shortly before Google acquired both it and the company that had developed it!
  • In July 2006, I wrote about a year-long experiment that I had been running, doing all my note-taking and other writing in one text file.
  • In August 2006 I posted a blog article about how individuals can be identified from their web search history.
  • In May 2008 I wrote this rant about the Blackberry.
