Silicon Valley native, tech, artist, wonk, raconteur. I'll veer from topic to topic, and change stylistically on a whim. Curious about stuff and things.

UCD alum (PoliSci/IR & Tech Policy). Strong interests in the arts, actual political science, cliodynamics, systems theory, and seeking a bit of adventure at even the smallest scale.

I own more albums than you have had changes of underpants since birth.

The Biden Admin is requiring airlines to disclose add-on costs like baggage fees upfront.

It's expected to save fliers $500M/year by making it easier to comparison shop.

Would you be surprised if I told you that Trump's Admin fought against efforts to rein in airline junk fees?

@rbreich no, I'd just be shocked if trump didn't try to muscle in on a cut of the extortionate action

@arstechnica "producing more but understanding less" is a fundamentally big problem that I don't think is really being perceived and wrestled with by the broader public.

@arstechnica ...a.k.a. the Prequel to Piracy. These studios have learned sod-all from the original Pirate Wars era, and are looking for a sequel. I hope they get it, good and goddamn hard.

Idiots.

@arstechnica Firefox has had a better extension to do Tree-Style tabs for years...and they care more about privacy (and frankly are more performant these days as well)
