My column Innovation Economy, appears every Sunday in the Boston Globe. It covers technology, life sciences, and venture capital. My own tagline for the column is "What's New in New England." There's also a video component to it each week, and a companion blog, both of which are fun to do.

Getting ready for the launch of my next book, which is (as far as I can tell) the first technological history of Hollywood, from Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, Kinetoscope to iPod. It's called "Inventing the Movies," and my goal was to write something that would be interesting to innovators in all sorts of different fields, as well as people interested in movie history. Doing a fair bit of speaking this fall to promote it...

That's me with Alyssa Stern and Shayne Gilbert, the two people with whom I work on Future Forward and several other events.

I'm also in the midst of helping to assemble the agenda for the eighth edition of Future Forward, which will be held on November 19th, and laying the groundwork for a new gathering, "The Conversation: New Distribution Channels, New Tools, and the Future of Visual Storytelling" at UC/Berkeley in October.
