Big changes in the offing: Starting February 4 I will be joining Nature magazine as their editorial editor, working out of the Washington, DC, office. I.e., I’ll be the guy in charge of those two pages of official Nature opinion in the front of the magazine (along with Philip Campbell, the editor-in-chief), as well as being involved a number of other projects. I’ll be replacing Colin Macilwain, who is leaving to start a new online magazine.
I don’t know how much time or energy this will leave me for blogging. Maybe a lot: after all, I’ll be traveling quite a bit, which means a lot of time on airplanes. But be assured, I will still find no shortage of things to talk about…!
A narrative history of personal computing and the Internet.
The story of the Santa Fe Institute and the emerging science of complex adaptive systems.
My first book—a study of artificial intelligence.

Congratulations on your blog, the Sci Am experimental piece, and your new job at Nature. I read Nature every week, as well as another national science publication we both know.
I have your book, Dream Machine, here in my office. It helped me understand the history of computing and Dr. Licklider’s role.
My main job is running a non profit, Restore Mass Ave, which adds trees to DC. But I’m preparing my own blog, on topics relating to climate change. Much of my past writing fits into this theme.
