Jonathan Reed runs a show called First, Last, Everything over at MacStories. The format is simple: he asks guests about the first piece of tech they remember, the last thing they bought, and works through a conversation about everything in between.

I was the guest a couple of weeks ago, and it was a fun hour. Jonathan asks good questions. The kind where you start answering and find yourself somewhere you didn’t expect.

We talked about how I got into podcasting, the field guide work, the Robot Assistant project, and my thoughts on where AI is headed for regular people. There were also some embarrassing early tech memories I probably should have kept to myself.

If you want to give it a listen, the episode is up on MacStories now. Thanks to Jonathan for having me on. It’s always nice to step out of the host seat for a bit.
