Got it — thanks for saying hi.
I read these myself, so it might take a few days. Good questions jump the queue.
before you ask
Quick answers to
the usual questions.
? Do you actually reply personally?
Yes — there's no team filtering this inbox. It means replies take a few days sometimes, but it also means the reply you get is actually from me, not a template.
? Are you available for speaking or panels?
Selectively, yes — mostly on digital health, hospital operations, and clinical informatics. Tell me the event, the audience, and the date, and I'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
? Can I pitch a collaboration or partnership?
Always open to hearing it. I'm most interested in things that fit the actual purpose of this site — tools, writing, or causes worth the "flip side." Anything that's mostly about promotion gets a polite pass.
? I have a tool idea — where does that go?
Here is fine, or the request form at the bottom of the playground page — either reaches me the same way.
? Is this page monitored by AI?
No. This form emails me directly. What you write is read by a person, not a bot pretending to be one.
You actually did the thing. Respect. 🎉
That's the whole philosophy of this place, honestly — poke around, try the thing nobody tells you to try.
