Hi, I’m Ari and welcome to my personal website

I've worked in media and tech for over 25 years (including 12+ years in big tech) and increasingly think that Bartleby, The Scrivener had the right idea

Portrait of Ari Feldman

Creative pursuits

My Book

It's a piece of shit, but it's my piece of shit

Beyond work

Family

They're my center of gravity and somehow they put up with me

Movies

I thoroughly enjoy movies that can no longer be made like "Animal House", " Better Off Dead", and "Kingpin"

History

I find the 1965–1990 Cold War period particularly interesting and I'm also quite knowledgable about personal computer history having come of age when 512KB of RAM was considered a massive amount

Music

I'm a huge fan of post-punk, punk, new wave, ska, shoe-gaze, and alt-rock (browse my Spotify playlist)
