My new @WIRED piece about arXiv: either 1) the most important website you've never heard of or 2) the platform your entire field depends on Also had the pleasure of hanging out with its creator, Paul Ginsparg—the Forrest Gump of the Internet age

In this week’s @NewYorker, I profile James Daunt—founder of Daunt Books, now transformative chief executive of both Barnes & Noble and Waterstones—and look closely at both the art of the ideal bookstore and the future of reading. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

I was reading Steinbeck's East of Eden and found a 2008 Walgreens receipt on which someone copied out the passage: "A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?"

For @WIRED, I reported everything you need to know about drone shows—including a Guinness Record-setting show in Texas—which became a piece about God, AI, and America. With them increasingly replacing 7/4 fireworks, you'll see more at America 250. Enjoy some wild drone videos.
