Hi, I'm David.

I’ve been writing for years about the fact that YouTube’s ambition is to basically eat the entire entertainment industry. And it’s starting to get close.

My main theory of technology is that everyone wants to build a super app, everybody’s gonna spend a decade trying, and nobody’s gonna pull it off.

I will never look at Christmas trees the same again.

We had a bunch of plans for The Vergecast this week, but then we just ended up in a smart kitchen making Thanksgiving dinner. So that's The Vergecast this week! It's a fun one.

This was a fun one to write — AI is changing the way we think and take notes, and we’re only at the beginning of where it’s all headed.

I’ve been reading a lot about Mastodon over the last couple of weeks, and this is my favorite explanation so far. Mastodon is blogs, pretending to be Twitter. Which sounds kinda great!

I got to talk to a bunch of the people who made the original iPhone, all of whom told me they had no idea just how important this wacky cellphone was going to be.

I spent Sunday driving for hours and hours just to spend way too much money on Snap’s new face-camera, Spectacles. I regret nothing.

I was on the radio last week! Talking about headphone jacks! I have...strong feelings.

I spent a few days with Allo, Google’s fascinating but unfinished messaging app, and wrote a little bit about the experience.

I’m in the market for a new computer, since my iMac is dying of old age. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy a Chromebook. 

I am, uh, weirdly into the idea of Soylent Coffeist.
