I’m a writer and technologist from Chicago with a background in the humanities.
My day job is in the technology industry. See my current occupations on LinkedIn. I like computing environments that give control back to the user: to build trust, deepen understanding, and allow for reprogramming.
I’m also a writer in an open-ended sense, with a PhD from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. These days I write articles, essays, and keep a blog.
This site collects anything I want to archive in public. Mostly it’s a place to stash quick observations. Occasionally I’m on social media, but the open web is a very quiet and unhurried place these days; a personal site is still one of the best digital options to build a collection of things seen (audio-visual) and reflected (writing).
I like exchanging messages with real people. Reach me via email, phil@philipsugg.com
