For serious tech people
Hi! I’m Jovian, creator of Serious Tech News. I work in tech, I’m on Twitter all the time, I love comedy, and I love journalism, especially the fake ones.
So all the stars are aligned for me, an Indonesian living in Taiwan, to write a newsletter in English about technology news mostly centered in America.
Every Monday we (I am told using ‘we’ will make you believable) will send you the some of the biggest tech industry news from the previous week, with some stale humor and weird references. Take that Mainstream Media!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you do this?
Great question. There’s nothing much there to be honest, I really just want to have fun, trying to learn some funny, and maybe some friends along the way. The kind that’s generous, financially secure, and love to send motivational text messages before brunch time.
How long does it take you to write an issue?
25 minutes research
45 minutes of reading The Great British Bake Off trivia rabbit hole about (Did you know that in a year they used a total of 1,600 eggs, 130kg of flour, and 150kg of sugar between them? They’re Wilford Brimley’s worst enemy. Rest In Peace Wilford)
35 minutes doomscrolling
10 minutes writing
35 minutes grammar fix
20 minutes cursing Grammarly (stop fucking telling me that my sentence is ‘hard to read’)
How did you learn English?
MTV, Whose Line Is It Anyway, and Monica Lewinsky’s biography (this is a true story.)
Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized venture capitalists or one venture capitalist sized duck?
Probably one VC-sized duck because it’s probably like fighting Donald Duck. Both never wear pants and always full of rage.
