For those of you who don’t speak nerd, I’m going to the South-by-Southwest Conference in Austin, TX on Friday (through Tuesday). I’ll be attending the ‘Interactive’ conference which is a lot of people from the internet who think they’re forward thinking, amazing individuals.
In reality, it’s a lot of parties put on by a lot of [...]

Community Next is bridging Silicon Valley to the land of silicone with The Next Generation of Media and the Web happening Saturday, March 29 in West Hollywood. You may remember I’ve been pretty involved with Community Next and this one is going to be a neat twist on the original conferences: it’s not in the [...]

I’ve had this issue lately where I read something, process it, and stick it in the back of my brain for a while. We all do it, we passively absorb knowledge each and every day. It may be the newspaper, television, a co-worker, or heck, even something you read on Twitter.
But, then I come to [...]

I had a blast last weekend in San Francisco. My buddy Noah (and Adam) hosted the second Community Next conference. Luckily I was invited. I’ve put some photos online and my quick thoughts are found below.
VIP Dinner
Friday was the VIP Dinner. I chatted with a bunch of awesome guys including the CTO of Pandora Tom [...]

I didn’t wait in line for an iPhone today. Largely because I’m on a great MyFaves Family Plan at T-Mobile. Oh, and I love my Pearl. But, today I’ve started something I attempted to do back in January: a daily video blog. Why? a) I hate failing and b) my favorite guys at Viddler are [...]

It’s so good to see you! Last time you stopped by I was an undergraduate–now I’m an alumnus! Needless to say, the last few weeks have been busy. I just haven’t found the time to do any writing. But, I promise, I’m here, I’ve got things to say and appreciate you hanging around…

We may think everyone cares about our every little detail. Perhaps we were brought up with a higher level of self esteem and self importance. We’re raised to believe that we’re all winners and we’re all important (Thanks, Mom). But, do people really care about what we’re always doing?

Chris Yeh has put together his theory behind blogging. It’s clever. It makes sense when you read it. In short: the more you talk about, the less focused you are, the less readership your site will enjoy. In other words, if you don’t write for a niche you won’t be “successful.”

So, I got a little bit of free time and decided to make a quick song dedicated to the new version of WordPress. Colin had the brilliant idea of using Nelly’s song “Air Force Ones’. So, I did this a number of weeks ago thinking I’d have time to make a video. I don’t. So, [...]

I’ve been quietly working on a silly project — they’re good to throw into the mix every now and again. It started in the 9rules member forum. A member, deus62, mentioned he was becoming a WordPress convert. I decided to offer my humble opinion and response in a light-hearted country tune. I do hope you [...]

The year has come to an end. A lot went on for me. I’ve landed a job after college, worked seven jobs at once, helped run a professional fraternity of over 130 people, joined 9rules, left b5media, met new people, learned new things. It’s been fun. Oh, and if you missed it, I remade a [...]
