SXSW, 2023 - The Future of the Internet
This year, I was on a panel about open innovation, and how we need to consider collaboration and ecosystem development when building new technology solutions for the future of the internet.
The Reflective Nature of Humanity and the Metaverse
A note on language: We haven’t quite gotten to the point where we are comfortably replacing “metaverse” with “pluriverse”, so for the context of this particular reflection, I will continue to use the term “metaverse” where “pluriverse” would be more accurate.

Neurodivergent Verses and Building a more Complete Reality

I’ve recently been exposed to a new-to-me idea that expands my understanding of how lexicon is important, because it can fundamentally cha
Metaverse, Mulitverse, Eitherverse, Anyverse
