Who are you and what do you want? Why are you here? What’s in it for you? These are all natural questions when one arrives to a community out of the blue offering something new apparently “for sale.” I get it. And, that’s the situation in which I find myself, so let me endeavor to […]

Meaningful Moments
What do you do when “the end” comes unexpectedly? After almost 22 years with the firm, that is what happened to me, “the end” came unexpectedly with three letters on a brisk morning in December in Boston – ALS – three simple letters, but with so much complexity and quite a lot of disruptive power. […]
AI – Good, Bad or Ugly?
You cannot read a news story today that does not somehow mention the implications of AI. Everywhere we turn, it’s part of the conversation. Some of that conversation is exciting and some of it is scary. There’s certainly a lot of hype and there’s definitely a lot of fear. I’ve recently gotten a fair bit […]
Everyday is a Gift
Some days it might feel like you’re just keeping your head above water – a bit like the hooded seal in the picture above, for example. Every day, we have to tackle the myriad complexities that modern life throws at us: emails, text messages, phone calls, meetings (many of which probably could have been emails), […]
The British Isles
Our month of travel is coming to a close after a proper tour of the western and northern coast of the British Isles. See what a few weeks in Britain will do for you? It will have one walking on the left, speaking the King’s English and watching British telly on Netflix, apparently. Will it […]

Questions Beget Questions
This might be a little different post (and probably a little longer). I’ve been recently wrestling with three big questions that are going to come to a head in the next six weeks or so. These are the questions that underpin whether I go back to work, and in what capacity. The beauty of the […]
What if? Why not?
Lately, we’ve been pondering a lot of questions, but these are two that we like a lot. They’re kind of at the heart of why we’ve taken Talk to Me, Goose! in the direction that we have. These were some of the questions that underpinned the drive to create Talk to Me, Goose! and they […]
Seeing is Believing
We keep talking about Merlin and how we’re trying to reduce the level of effort, and this morning, I thought, “Why not make a little demo of how cool it is?” 30 seconds of Merlin making magic below. Because, it’s not just about reducing the level of effort. It’s about reconnecting with people. It’s about […]
Math Makes it Personal
What? Really? Just this morning, we released a new version of Talk to Me, Goose! And, we’re very excited about this one. Why? Math! Yep. Math! All along, we’ve been wondering how do we make this more personalized and easier to use as we go? If you’ve been following along, you may recall that when […]
