    re: this blog

    My main interests are:
    - communication and society, especially as related to technology and media;
    -technology for good;
    ​-social good; and
    -emergency public information

    I will share articles of interest from various media sources, as well as my own blog posts.

    Don't be surprised, however, to see the occasional foodie post or absurdity of the day - blogs should always allow some room for general interest and ranting.
