A Social Tech Perspective of web3

In April, 2022, I gave a talk to a Master of Science in Finance class at the Loyola University Chicago where a close friend is an adjunct professor. The theme of the class was crypto, and my friend thought I'd round-out the conversation. Reasonably, majority of the class was spent

Web3 is Social Tech

As a clinically trained social worker building web3 software tools to improve human relationships, connecting the dots of how I got here is a worthy endeavor. Partly a walk down memory lane, and partly a brief history of networked software tooling, I hope this post can convey my excitement for

Foray into Collective Governance

Dave and I were reflecting on the buzz around DAO governance and low voter turnout. This came up, in part, after reading about CabinDAO's first proposal receiving ~15% member engagement (1). While there's some sensible thinking and modeling out there that validate this lower-level engagement (2), we got to thinking

Buzzard Squad As Cell

Last night I started drafting up my thoughts for what we're [[Buzzard]] doing with all of the moving pieces, and things are feeling way more cell-like than anything else. We've got ideas for a bunch of different types of entities within Buzzard and they all behave differently, and have different

Interhackt Designathon: Constellations Case Study

Conrad and I set out to build a feasible system for exploring non-linear discussion that optimizes for insights. Perhaps more simply: a chat app that allows for more natural branching conversations. What might chat look like if we could cruise around branching conversations for navigation, something more interconnected, multidimensional, topical?

The Intersection of Tech with Government, Politics, and Media

I’ve been thinking about the exosystem ring of ecological theory [https://scoop.substack.com/p/11-life-with-technology], which includes major systems that we interact with but don’t have control over. These large systems have direct influence and impact in our lives, and include: the tax, health care, and governmental

Tech and Relationships

Last week, I introduced ecological theory as a framework for exploring our relationships with technology [https://scoop.substack.com/p/11-life-with-technology]. This week, I’ll take a closer look at the micro- and mesosystems which are the closest to us and have the most impact on our lives. While I

Life with Technology

In this week’s newsletter, I begin an exploration of my relationship with technology. I’d love to hear from you as you read along - what is your relationship with tech? Are you aware of how and when you’re using it? A recent gift from my friend Melissa,
