14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck.

Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

Northeastern professor leads open collaborative project to understand AI reasoning models The project takes advantage of tools being developed at NDIF to help AI researchers gain a deeper understanding of these systems.

Northeastern’s David Bau is bringing a collaborative approach to studying AI. I spoke with him about the launch of The ARBOR project and its intersection with his work at Northeaster to understand the "black box" components of large language models.

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication.

You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

How US policies and perceptions impact Puerto Rico’s energy infrastructure Tuesday’s blackout was not an anomaly as Puerto Rico has been plagued by power outage issues for years, Northeastern energy experts say.

In my first story of 2025, I spoke with Northeastern University professors Eugene Smotkin and Laura Kuhl about the recent power outage in Puerto Rico earlier this week that left more than a million residents without power.
