One of the first professional tech bloggers, Barb Dybwad has built editorial teams and managed digital strategy for The Property Brothers, AOL, Digital Trends, Penske Media Corporation, Mashable, Future PLC, and Best Buy, among others. She has launched and led national events for consumer tech site Engadget from the Official CES Awards to the 10,000-attendee Expand franchise in SF and NY.
Today she works on AI and tech strategy for publishers, with a specialty in SEO (and now GEO) and affiliate revenue. She doggedly maintains an old skool blog at Doctor Paradox, creates AI experiments, and stays active in political discourse.
Barb enjoys tinkering and building on the web with a raft of AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Midjourney, Ideogram, Leonardo AI, Kling, RunwayML, Seedance, Veo 3, Sora 2, Descript, Opus Clip, and seemingly more by the day -- plus, mind maps and PKM, open data, Python, Zettelkasten, mobile photography, and has been known to make noise from time to time. She lives in Boston (after long stints in Ithaca & Los Angeles), lived on planes before covid, and used to live more on Twitter (which is still Twitter) than she does now.
