I like to read history and travel. I work at the intersection of digital ads and privacy. I’m currently a Google PM at said intersection. Opinions are my own.

Another really thoughtful episode.
File this under "news you can use". Adam talks us through their RAG pipeline and how they use human knowledge to train it.

After dancing to ABBA’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! what seems like 20 times last week (the song of Cannes Lions?), I had questions and @NewYorker had very-up to-date answers.

It once seemed unlikely that four Swedes in sequins would become global pop icons. A new biography describes how the band became ubiquitous.

I think my first vibe coded app will be for neighbors of full-time Airbnbs to share reviews of home maintenance and guest dates.

Catching up on @marketecturetv episodes. Anyone else getting repeats of the British woman selling Illinois tourism ad?.

This was a near perfect work week for me. It began with publisher friends in London. Continued with web standards friends in Paris. Ended with ad industry friends in Paris. Many insights and laughs were had. LFG

Karaoke two nights in a row this week. Night 1 included a live band. Hard to beat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yesterday I got to spend time with two of my German friends, Achim and Robert. We didn’t coordinate outfits.

Another good one from the @marketecturetv team. If you aren’t following @oliviaakory after this one you weren’t listening well.
This week's pod features @oliviaakory from Haus on why YouTube is under-attributed as a channel, and whether @AppLovin drives actual lift. Plus @aripap on the Xandr DSP shut-down.

I think @AdtechGod let @tkawaja know it was going to rain in NY after DMS. Perfectly timed conference swag.

I’ve never heard @eric_seufert laugh as hard as he did when @benthompson suggests @Apple buy @AppLovin.

I just HEARD a @nbcsnl ad on the subway platform at Houston. It was @kenanthompson asking me to observe platform safety protocols and SNL. I believe it was playing over the typical platform announcement speakers?. Is this a thing? I sort of like it. As long as it’s @nbcsnl cast.

This is a good one, even if deeply depressing. A must listen indeed!.
Who could imagine that this happy looking guy would be the prognosticator of (potential) doom? We had @brianwieser on @marketecturetv to talk about his latest forecasts and the broader macro picture. A must listen. Link below.

I had a blast yesterday at Marketecture Live. Congrats to @aripap, @JeremyBloomHere, @AdtechGod for carving out something special in the ad ecosystem's conference circuit.

Tomorrow in NYC: St. Patrick's Day parade and Marketecture Live's Sandbox-palooza.
It dawned on me this weekend that the Marketecture event in NYC is the same day as the St. Patrick's Day parade. For all of us commuting along with hundreds of thousands of drunk celebrants, pray to @AdtechGod.

Apropos of the latest ad tech twitter buzz, who is the #1 driver of a typical enterprise UI/UX overhaul?.
