There’s a telltale way to know your IT leadership isn’t qualified.And it’s not when a system goes down, or a server crashes, or a backup takes a little longer than expected. It’s when best practices  are treated like optional guidelines instead of gospel. Because best practices aren’t suggestions — they’re guardrails. Ignore them long enough, and you’ll end up where South Korea’s government did last month: standing in front of 858 terabytes of smoldering digital rubble wonder

So… OpenAI just dropped Atlas , their brand-new AI-powered browser . And somewhere out there, a thousand Chrome extensions just quietly curled up and died. Copy helpers, summarizers, productivity widgets, those sidebar AI things everyone rushed to build last year — all gone in one press release. Atlas basically did to browser plug-ins what the iPhone did to the flip phone industry: it smiled, waved politely, and rewrote the rules of the game. But under the hood, this isn’t ju

When us-east-1 Sneezes, the Internet Gets a Cold At exactly 3:11 AM this morning—because apparently the cloud has a flair for irony— Amazon Web Services’ us-east-1 region  tripped over its own DNS resolver and faceplanted, taking half the internet down with it. For those of us of a certain age, sipping our morning coffee while watching dashboards fail to load, there was only one thing going through our heads: 🎶 Gonna take the internet down… down…  🎶 Yes. 311. The band. The

Let’s be clear: the cloud isn’t dying. But the age of unquestioned cloud supremacy  — that decade-long reign where every ounce of intelligence had to pass through someone else’s API — that’s beginning to crack. We’re entering the post-imperial  phase of compute. The Great Inversion For twenty years, the cloud has been the empire of cognition: centralized, industrial, and rented by the teraflop. It made sense. The economics of scale were brutal. Training frontier models requir

Let me tell you something that’s easy to miss but impossible to ignore once you see it: The borders that matter now aren’t on land—they’re in compute. And they’re shifting. Fast. Not in theory. Not in the metaverse. In steel, in silicon, in megawatts. The world is being redrawn in real time, and the lines are being etched by the placement of data centers. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t metaphor. This is a real-world transformation happening at a scale that’s hard to wrap

So here’s the thing. Florida is finally stepping into the data center conversation — and about time. As an AI accelerationist, Floridian, and someone knee-deep in the world of GPUs and power systems, I’m watching this one closely. Because what’s playing out in the Florida Public Service Commission isn’t just a local issue — it’s a glimpse at how the AI revolution collides with infrastructure reality. For the first time, regulators are trying to figure out how to handle the en

So I’ve been tossing around an idea — part experiment, part hangout — where we spend a couple hours together learning how to vibe-code  our own custom GPTs and web apps. Picture this: laptops open, coffee in hand, me walking you step-by-step through how to take an idea and turn it into something real  — something that actually runs on the internet before you leave the room. No coding degree. No dev team. No five-figure contracts. Just you, a laptop, and a couple hours to brin

Let’s start with a hard truth: most people have no idea what AI can do — and that’s a problem. A big  one. Every day, I see new scams pop up online that look completely legitimate — professional-looking websites, polished videos, believable voices, and glowing reviews. The twist? None of it’s real. The people don’t exist. The products don’t exist. The business itself? Fabricated entirely by artificial intelligence. We’ve crossed a line. AI isn’t just automating tasks anymore;

Let’s not pretend we didn’t see this coming. Sam Altman made it official this week: OpenAI’s tools — including ChatGPT — are now open to supporting adult-oriented content in specific contexts. And predictably, the internet lit up like a Christmas tree in a lightning storm. Some are shocked. Some are offended. A lot of people are thrilled. But the truth? Inevitable. We were always going to get here. And the real conversation — the one we need  to have — is not  about whether t

Walk into any office in the world—tech startup, bank, law firm, doesn't matter. Find someone at their desk, shoulders curled forward like a question mark, eyeballs deep in emails or Jira tickets. Now, put your thumb right between their shoulder blade and spine, just a little up and in. What happens? They drop their shoulder. They let out an involuntary “ooohhh.”  Then—without fail—they turn to you and say: “Do it again.” That, my friend, is the spot . You know it. I know it.
