About Cord Blomquist
Cord Blomquist spends most of his time pining for the singularity. To pass the time while waiting for this convergence, he serves as a Technology Policy Analyst and Assistant Editorial Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute where he works on wide variety of tech issues including content regulation, network neutrality, and antitrust policy. Before landing this sweet gig, Cord toiled in the halls of Congress, working as a Legislative Assistant for Congressman Mark Green focusing on technology policy and government reform. In college, Cord spent his hours studying political philosophy and artificial intelligence, resulting in an unhealthy obsession with Lt. Commander Data. All of these activities will, of course, be viewed as laughable when he is ported from this crude meatspace into the nanobot cloud.Posts by Cord Blomquist
