From the Desk
Side Column doesn’t run on a schedule.
There’s no publication calendar, no weekly drop, no promise that something new will appear just because it’s Monday. Pieces show up when they’re ready—after they’ve had time to sit, to change shape, or to prove they’re worth keeping.
Some entries are light. Some are odd. Some are serious. Most start as a small idea that refuses to leave.
This page exists as a brief pause between the writing and the reader—a place to note what’s currently being worked on, what just landed, or what’s quietly forming off to the side. The full archive lives in the blog, arranged in the order the thoughts arrived, not the order they were planned.
Currently
Exploring how emerging technologies—particularly quantum computing—may change things in ways that feel subtle at first and obvious only later. Less hype, more plain language. The goal is understanding, not urgency.

Side Column also exists beyond this site—notes, links, and occasional updates appear on Facebook.
New writing will appear when it’s ready.
Not serious. Not not-serious.
Just a column from the margins.
