About this blog

Innovation is defined by the introduction of something new. In the last hundred years, the rate of innovation has exponentially increased, and the upward trend seems to show no sign of slowing. Whether it’s the things we use or how we use them, our way of life and how we view it is constantly affected by the introduction of new things.

In this blog, I will discuss innovations in technology, media, culture and life — with the aim of elucidating what others and I perceive to be trends worth noting.

About me

The son of two Filipino immigrants, I grew up in Houston, Texas. As a student at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory, I devoted my time to debate, the arts, journalism and music.

I received a BA in philosophy (primary field) and sociology  (secondary field) from Harvard College. While at Harvard, I co-founded and led The Harvard Voice as its publisher with Miran Pavic, The Voice’s editor.

Upon graduation, I toured cross-country as frontman of the band  Big Time, and we plan to both release an EP and record a full length album with indie rock producer Adam Lasus in the near future under the name August Spies.

I am currently working full-time in business development at Jack Morton Worldwide’s Boston office, and am living on Newbury Street.
