Ed Zitron is a machine.

I do not understand how one man organically produces so many organized words in such a consistent manner.

On top of a podcast.

Like it is seriously impressive.

Then there’s the domains covered.

Like a journalist and an author sure.

But titles don’t impress.

Runs a PR firm. Interesting.

The hook is the spread.

Technology in the actual sense. Gaming. Virtual Reality. Cloud computing. SaaS. Containers. Wearables. Health-Fitness. The general interwebs. Now this recent multi-year AI Summer.

And actually talking to and questioning the experts, academics, and practitioners instead of pretending to be one.

Then there’s the finance.

Reading the financial reports. Y’all know they’re public right? Seeing just how much companies spend for how little they earn. Following the lines and seeing who’s funding whom. Doing the math.

Gotta respect that level of love for the game.

Minus 10 points for going to Penn State.

Plus 2 points because they have good ice cream.

Not a precise rubric.
