John Blauth's Blot. John Blauth: the story so far. It was the words that made me eat it. January 6, 2015. Someone who is both a linguist and a computer scientist at Stanford University, no less, is unlikely to be a dull dinner companion. In the case of Dan Jurafsky this should prove to be especially true. His book ‘The Language of Food’. Required him to work his way through 6,500 restaurant menus and look at the descriptions of 650,000 dishes. People who write content for a living know this. It seems tha...

John Blauth's Blot. John Blauth: the story so far. John Blauth: the story so far. After many months of psychotherapy I am unable to tell you exactly who I am. Conversely, I have a far better idea of who I was. Born in Kensington; formative years in London; now live in the Surrey bubble as this suburban place is described by people from elsewhere. I read Philosophy and Theology at university (London) and have been a. Ever since. Further, rather dry, details can be found on LinkedIn. Poetry at Mach 2.

John Blauth's Blot. John Blauth: the story so far. Clear communication = brilliant content. December 3, 2014.
