August 15, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

When it comes to writing I'm an old soul. I cut my teeth in the 80’s writing medical student H&Ps on an Apple SE. I sold my first Microsoft Word written freelance article in the early 90s.

Book Notes: The Filter Bubble

July 9, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I recently read The Filter Bubble - What the Internet is hiding from you by Eli Pariser.  As you’re probably aware, Google looks at your search history and takes it into consideration in subsequent queries.  While over time our search becomes refined and personalized, Pariser argues that this happens at the expense of making our world view increasingly myopic.  If ...
