I am more excited about the Apple Vision Pro, coming early next month, than I am about any other tech announcement since the original iPhone. I’ve been recording many spatial videos on my iPhone 15 Pro, experimenting with the types of videos I will want to watch. What types of video will work best in […]

Strolling past each booth of fresh-cut flowers and freshly-gathered eggs, my wife and I stopped at a booth carrying bread. Next to the booth, a man in a cycling outfit was doing yoga in the afternoon sun. He came over and he explained the rye: it was dark, perfect with cream cheese and jam. He […]
I formally take The Pledge: At a public conference I won’t serve on a panel of two people or more unless there is at least one woman on the panel, not including the Chair. I want more diversity in tech and in the world. I pledge to try to make diversity a reality, and then […]
Update: this failed spectacularly. Didn’t work. Bad idea. I feel like many of my tweets could (and should) be short articles on my blog, but I’m lazy.

I did not know Gwen was sick. I didn’t know she had cancer. On Monday, she died. I respected her and found comfort in her presence. I trusted Gwen to tell me the truth, to find humanity in any situation, to always reflect appropriate levels of concern. I trusted Gwen Ifill completely. Not because she was on TV, but […]

There’s a problem with technology: it’s not human. Technology often can’t express when there are problems, especially when it doesn’t know problems exist. There’s a gap between the consumer and the product that can often only be bridged by a middle-man repair shop. Creating products that communicate their problems effectively is one of the next […]
I was given the domain zackkatz.com for my 17th birthday by my mom. It turns out, it was a good gift 🙂 I used it as a blog, music promotional area, and art gallery. I owned the domain (and let it stagnate) until around 2006, when I wanted to switch hosts. I waited for my domain […]
