Heart of the Hutch: Message is the Medium
I started at NBC News in the mid-90s. Back then, my colleagues and I thought a lot about HOW to tell the story. Should we use stills and text? Should we use video, or maybe audio could be the answer. It’s something we wrestled with a lot. Now, we do it all.

I’m starting to question whether or not it’s a good idea to have one giant company so tightly woven into the technological fabric of so many other companies. It seems like a single-point-of-failure we should guard against with anti-trust / monopoly law.

Fish camp 2025 comes to a quiet foggy end

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “This is the LAST day I’m wearing these pants!”

When you’re fishing, there is ALWAYS more to do. When the Captain says, “Let’s call it a day,” what he means is, “Now, the next set of chores begin.”

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “All I need is to stand right here and drink this coffee for five minutes!”

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “We look for patterns to make sense of the world, but I believe dumb, random luck plays a larger role than we’re comfortable with.”

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “Some of this isn’t fun.”

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for people who present as rough, but are sweethearts once you get to know them.

Overheard at Fish camp 2025 ~ “Hold the shaft right there with that. I’ll pull it from this side.”

Fish camp 2025 beginning

Fish Camp 2025 starts with a morning in my fishing buddy’s garden. We’ll be on the water in 48 hours.

Sometimes in Seattle, the most I can do for a highly technical story that I struggle to understand is to just make a relatable picture of the scientist in their environment.

Sometimes in Seattle you find not one but two unicorns.
A couple people dressed as unicorns lead the last group of walkers at the beginning of the 5k walk/run during Obliteride, August 9, 2025, at the University of Washington in Seattle Washington.

Sometimes in Seattle B-man introduces you to a new place, and it reminds you that life is worth living.
