My first blog was called Chill Milk. It was about design, music, and all the cool things in between. To everyone’s profound disappointment, it had nothing at all to do with dairy.
Similarly, Dead Online has nothing at all to do with dying.
In fact, it has everything to do with living. It’s about culture - music, art, technology, and the interdependencies of the three merging to shape our today and tomorrow. About being terminally online and actively engaged - if not at least observant of - emergent techno-cultural scenes. It’s about trends, ideas, insights, and big thinks.
I’ve spent my career looking around the corner to peer into the future. Dead Online aims to capture the moments right before (and sometimes right after) the furious whiteboarding. To keep the aperture wide, and you plugged-in and up to date.
Welcome. (And thanks for subscribing). ;-)
Dead.Online is post-brainrot-future-farming
Terminally online so you don’t need to be.
Dead.online explores trends, ideas, and Internet culture to help you look around the corner and stay relevant.
Period.

The night before Napster was shut down, I stayed up all night downloading the entire catalog of ‘90’s RnB. Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with the intersection of music, culture, and technology - and built my career around it.
I started as a bloghouse kid scouting the next big thing for SPIN and LA Weekly, and eventually graduated to Spotify, where I forecasted trends, developed content formats, and led “moonshot bets” as their first-ever Head of Innovation and Market Intelligence. Along the way, I founded (and sold!) a pre-TikTok video remix app backed by Warner Bros, built ventures alongside Fortune 500’s as a Partner at BCG Digital Ventures, and invested in startups as both a VC and Angel Investor.
Throughout it all, my superpower has been connecting the dots between emerging culture, technology, and business. My super-weakness has been publishing regularly. Dead.online leans into the former, and violently avoids the latter.
Offline, I live between Brooklyn and Venice Beach, work on consumer products and conceptual art, and run a multibillion dollar psychic hotline.
If you need to find me, follow the sounds of ‘90’s RnB…
