The #podcast I did with Dr. Andrew Rimby, creator of the amazing #IvoryTowerBoilerRoom (great name!) and English #professor, is now available on #youtube. Here's the link.

It's World #Alzheimer's Month. To all those people with #dementia, I am sending my support, love, and strength. And to the #caregivers (primary, secondary, tertiary et al), the same. 💜

Last week featured my first trip to cover Google I/O since 2019. It was great to spend a few days in a pleasant part of the Bay Area, and it was outright lovely to catch up with tech-journalism friends that I had not seen IRL since four or five years ago.
Another good part of this trip, as noted earlier for Patreon members: staying in the same Airbnb room that I’d booked in 2018 and 2019.
5/14/2024: T-Mobile’s Metro Adds Flex Plans With Free Phone Upgrades, Amazon Prime, PCMag
By taking up T-Mobile on its offer of a conversation last Friday with Jon Freier, president of the company’s consumer group, about this embargoed news from one of its prepaid brands, I was able to have this story filed by Monday evening instead of having to write it in the middle of I/O.
5/14/2024: Google Play Upgrades Allow Developers to Know if Your Phone’s Been Hacked, PCMag
My editors thought that the phone-malware angle of this story about an array of Google Play updates would be most interesting to readers, and I think they were right.
5/14/2024: Putting Gemini to the Test: First Look at Google’s Project Astra, PCMag
The hands-on reporting for this piece from the AI Sandbox exhibit at I/O involved my feet (in the form of a penalty-kick challenge graded by a version of Google’s Gemini family of AI tools), and my fingers (which I used to draw a map of D.C. that included the Anacostia River, a cartographic detail that apparently confounded Google’s Project Astra AI assistant).
5/15/2024: Uber App Adds Features for Caregivers, AARP
Uber offered me an advance on this story, and then I broadened my reporting beyond its embargoed press release by interviewing my Georgetown Voice friend Kate Washington, author of the brilliant Already Toast: Caregiving and Burnout in America.
5/15/2024: Google Takes a Page From Apple With Android Theft Protection, PCMag
Jet lag helped me write this piece, in the form of my waking up annoyingly early Wednesday and therefore giving me a couple of hours of uninterrupted (but uncaffeinated) time to write the thing.

#BruceMiller and I wrote #FindingtheRightWords for people with #dementia, their #caregivers, their loved ones, their #nurses and #doctors, including #neurologists, #geriatricians, and #psychiatrists. #narrative medicine cannot cure #Alzheimer's, but the power of #empathy, intense #listening, and #storytelling can help immensely. We are so grateful this reader thinks our book is helpful, even beautiful.💜

I'm honored to be talking this Friday about #caregiving, #grief, #dementia, and #FindingtheRightWords at the #Canterbury Senior Residence in #PalosVerdes. This book with #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF has many audiences, and we had all of them in mind as we wrote it. Those with #dementia and #caregivers are among the most important (#doctors and #litstudies people, #medhums, too), but we especially hope to reach the ones loving and caring everyday for people with dementia. #EndAlz

@jfballenger. Dear Jesse, I'm a fan of your book on #Alzeimers and look forward to reading the next one on #dementia. In the meantime, I'm hoping to find others (#authors, people interested in #medhum, #neurologists, #neuropsychologists, #geriatricians, #caregivers, people with #dementia) to follow. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
