2025/08/21

The Church of R.E.M. I finally started reading Peter Ames Carlin's biography of the band R.E.M., titled The Name Of This Band Is R.E.M. This book is a revelation about how making art is messy and uncomfortable. Michael Stipe was supposed to be a quiet visual artist. He is multi-talented, but at the beginning of his artistic awakening, the fine art he practiced was focused on presenting a still image to a viewer. But something in him also roared to step up on stage and sing songs that moved the

Last year, I presented on stage at a technology conference. The topic was AI for an aging population, and it was controversial. I asked the audience how many had been in business for ten years or more. Most raised their hands. Then I asked them how many had twenty years. More than half the hands went down. Thirty? About five stayed up. Forty? One stayed up. I shook my head in awe at the social and technological changes those in the thirty and forty-year category had endured.When I graduated from
