One Community, One Week, Many Faiths

I contributed three chapters to an anthology called One Community, One Week, Many Faiths, published in 2014 by Michigan State University. The book can be purchased in print or Kindle editions on Amazon.com.

I also co-authored an academic article about user experience design, which was published in the Proceedings of the 34th ACM International Conference on the Design of Communication. You can download that article from the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library.


Below is a selection of my written work from around the web. I tagged two of my favorite pieces with ⭐s. If you don’t know where to start, those are good choices.

Also, be sure to check out the blog I maintain on this site.

“Microcontent Pipeline to Chatbots and Voice Assistants”

Use microcontent to put your team in the driver’s seat to the next level of content publishing for intelligent chatbots. By now reality has revealed that ChatGPT is not ready to write our product documentation for us. With no control over what the publicly-trained models scrape from our websites and blogs and how it assimilates our documentation with other less-authoritative sources, we’re left to wonder where we go next. If we want reliable bots, we’ll need to train our own models and deploy them to our staff and our customers. Let us show you what we’ve learned so far.
