Can One Distill the Zeitgeist?

What are we doing here anyhow?

About the Author

I’m Wyatt Barnett. I am a recovering liberal arts major and technology professional living in Washington, DC. I’ve been in the telecommunications space through a few booms and busts over the last few decades. I’ve been in small rooms with notables. I’ve brought marketing stunts to life and made mundane back office applications purr. I’ve brought wargames, exhibits and construction projects to fruition. I’ve been the DBA, the web guy and am now the AI guy. Beyond software I am captivated by digging deep and asking why and how the systems around us function. I help make complicated systems understandable and digestible. I’ve been told I’m a decent chef and I spent a lot of time chasing my offspring.

This ultra-hip person has nothing to do with this publication. No, I am not anywhere near that cool but I would wear two smart watches.

Why Here and Why Now Wyatt?

I have been doing quite a bit of personal and professional development as I stumble into middle age. One thing became clear — I really should share things with the world a bit more. This publication is designed to do just that.
