think-bigger.orgFramework & Paper: Keeping Complex Work Coherent Across Time
A single person or small team with AI agents can now start projects that once needed a large company. What they still lack is the structure that keeps such work from drifting apart over years. After my viral Think Bigger essay, I studied how organizations like NASA and SpaceX hold long engineering efforts together, and distilled what I learned into a set of principles, requirements, and checks that a small team can run with AI doing most of the work. The video explains the idea and process in about five minutes, and the paper has all the details. I'm applying this at Stratington and thought you might find it useful too.Explore the framework & paper
From the archive · April 2015In 2015 I wrote down what AI would do to us. Here is how it scored.Superhuman machine intelligence disrupting most jobs, and near-zero delays between questions and answers (LLMs). I was working out of a cave in Germany back then, trying to make sense of what was coming. The blog is long gone, but the Internet Archive kept a copy. I let AI score every claim on how it held up, the hits and the misses alike, and the result is pretty interesting!38 predictions · 25 scored 70% or higherRead the 2015 post
Experiments in Progress ✨

Taptanium Apps
Starting in 2008, I built a portfolio of iOS apps solo, with the help of a few creatives here and there.
My apps reached 5M+ people worldwide and still serve ~100k monthly users, helping them sleep better, sharpen their focus, and be less stressed.
I use them myself on a daily basis.
A trend-setting, innovative and radiantly crafted weather app that briefly surpassed Angry Birds in the top charts.
Legacy apps ~ Thunderspace might come back eventually, as I have many new and amazing thunderstorm recordings I'd love to publish.
Taptanium, my UI/UX lab, started with Holographium, a robo-futuristic 3D light painting app that made it into Apple's iPad Air 2 TV spot.
Other early experiments like Temporalium failed because they solved problems nobody actually felt.
Cool tech nobody needs is worthless, so I pivoted to building things people actually wanted.
Haze and Thunderspace were my first truly successful apps.
The apps that followed reached millions through innovation and product quality alone, with no paid user aquisition. Just relentless shipping and iteration.
I later shut down a related venture bringing weather data driven audio into offices and airports when hardware costs made it unsustainable,
as well as an ultra high compute nature simulation venture for VR and climate analytics.
If you're grinding on something, go the extra mile, kill what doesn't work, and keep shipping.
You don't need anyone's permission or funding. The wins feel earned. The flops teach faster than anything else.
AI Consulting & Engineering
I help founders and businesses navigate the AI landscape and identify high-leverage opportunities early.
I correctly predicted major AI and tech trends over a decade ago (archived and verifiable) and shipped groundbreaking mobile apps with UI/UX patterns later adopted into mainstream iOS design.
I work deeply in AI research & development, as well as active AI infrastructure investments, giving me a unique perspective on the AI landscape.
If I don't see meaningful value for you, I'll tell you upfront.
