Hi. This is my blog site.


We are all subject to a lot of official communications these days from companies, governments, celebrities and others.  All too often these are ghost written passages concocted by overeager PR machines and do little to tell you anything new about the author or his or her true interests.

All the best writing at Thomson Reuters gets done by our journalists, so I certainly don’t pretend that I can improve upon the impressive work they produce every day, often at great personal risk.  Instead I’m going to write about what interests me, which is often my work at Thomson Reuters, as well as wider issues such as technology, information publishing, sports and globalization.

I imagine much of my audience will be internal at Thomson Reuters, although this blog is open to anyone.  I am currently experimenting with various bits of it so it may change from time to time.  But I'll try to update it regularly, although sometimes the doing makes the talking about it difficult.  My real aim is to engage in an electronic dialog with whomever wants to comment on a post or otherwise share their views.

    Now that Congress is well on its way to passing healthcare (or more accurately, health insurance) reform, it is time for me to return to the topic of financial regulation.  My worry is that with the current predilection of our legislators for policy...
