This blog is written by Eshu Marneedi.

I’m a technology blogger and computer science student who writes about how the consumer technology industry impacts society. My articles often start short and quickly digress into lengthy digressions on design, politics, software engineering, and more. I’ve been writing about technology for over six years and have a keen interest in how things are made, who they’re made by, and how they’re used. I’d like to think my incessant inquisition and criticism add at least some novelty to my work.

Elsewhere

I’m on X, Threads, Mastodon, Instagram, and Bluesky, all @EshuMarneedi. You can follow me on whichever platforms you use.

You can subscribe to this blog via RSS — as I recommend you do — here. If you would like the JSON feed, you can find it here.

I wrote on Medium before switching to my own blog. Many of my articles and reviews are still on Medium — just don’t veer too far down the list because the old ones are, let’s just say, not the best literary work.

I write an app called Citations for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro to help students format citations for academic papers. You can download it for free on the App Store — it has no ads or in-app purchases, and it never will.

I also contribute to open-source projects on GitHub, including my app Propagate, a native video player for iOS. I mostly write Swift.

My Writing

I frequently write about “Big Tech” companies and how they change our lives. Pieces on this website fall into two categories: links and articles. Links (“link posts”) are by far the most common type of piece — I aim for one to three a week focused on day-to-day news, commentary, and analysis. Articles are rarer in frequency — I aim for one a month, but sometimes fall short — and are often about major headlining news too significant for a link post.

Feedback

I encourage you to send me your thoughts regarding pieces on this blog. I really do love reading feedback, and all of it is welcome. If you use any of the social media platforms listed above, feel free to mention me on any of them — I try to get through them all. If you would prefer to keep your correspondence private, that’s also alright: You can email me at [email protected]. No need to apologize; email is always appreciated. I check that inbox frequently. If you’re interested in hiring an intern writer at your tech-oriented media company, I’d be happy to send over a copy of my résumé.

This Website

This blog is hosted by Micro.blog using Hugo. The theme is a heavily customized version of Tiny Theme. I have made numerous modifications to the original theme, but it is excellent on its own.

I write using a custom style guide, adapted from The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage and The Associated Press Stylebook. The Oxford comma rules.
