Moving to Ghost and a "login to read" model

I have been writing on this blog for years. Some of my best and worst ideas are memorialized here, and for years I have thought that I should go through and refine these ideas. My writing was available for free for people. In the area of AI vacuum cleaners, sucking up the web to make new LLMs which then regurgitate every useful thought ever published online, openly publishing anything no longer makes as much sense.

With that in mind, here are my new access models for my content.. which dates back nearly twenty years now.

  • Most (80%) articles will be fully available once you have registered and proved that you are not a bot.
  • Even more (95%) will be available with a $10 per year subscription.
  • For $50 a year, you will have access to the articles that form the "book-in-progress" about how I think about healthcare technology, privacy, cybersecurity, ethics and strategy. Very often my strategic consulting results in a blog post, I have put these behind the new more expensive paywall.

I have also deleted a few posts. No one needs to know what Windows software I found useful to install in 2005.
