I did something this morning that I hadn’t done in a while. I commuted to work. Heck, I even carpooled with Laura since we were headed in the same direction. It was a nice change to the morning and for a Thursday things are rolling along rather nice.
Last night I was part of a segment […]

I’ve been getting a wave of contacts from book publishers asking if I’d like a review copy of their latest title and would I consider doing a review of it on one of my blogs or podcasts.
I LOVE books and have an ever growing library of them, but lately I’m finding that the only time […]

Emily, theater and photography.

A slide show I made from my photos taken at PodCamp Boston 3.
Soundtrack from my good friend and kick ass Boston musician [munk]. If you are in the area, he is doing his farewell show on Friday night at the Middle East. No way I’m missing that.

Is it just because it is a Monday? I don’t think so because I’ve been in a great mood all day, but this has been bugging me.
People need to stop worrying about how many followers, friends, comments, responses and all around strokes they get and focus more on creating content that they want […]

I rarely completely forget about everything and enjoy the day without interruption. I’m always thinking about work in the back of my head or noodling on something. It is just the way I am.
But, yesterday we took the kids to Davis Farmland, came home to make a delicious dinner of steak and chicken fajitas and […]

This week felt like a bit of a whirlwind. Coming off last weekend at PodCamp Boston 3, I entered into a non stop pinball game of tasks, deliverables and meetings. As I sit here on the couch with my morning cup of coffee and nothing immediate that I have to do I figured it was […]

The week after any big conference is always a difficult time because I’m full of things I want to do. I want to take some of the ideas boiling in my head and lay them out. I want to send follow up e-mails to everyone I chatted with so that I don’t forget them. I […]

I’m up and getting ready to head into PodCamp Boston 3. Took this snap randomly and for fun since I usually take one as the event starts.
My goals for the weekend are:

To reconnect with friends I have not seen in a while
Meet new people and introduce them whoever I know that can help answer their […]

Last night was a good night.
Kevin Smokler was in town from San Francisco and sent a note to a few friends to get together for dinner. The always ready event planner Sooz picked ZuZu for our little gathering. What I loved about it though was that as the seven of us sat down for […]

As I sat by the fire this weekend in the woods with my family, I had plenty of time to idle well and think about a variety of things. Of course a lot of thinking was about the direction of my life, the company that I help run and the marketplace that I work and […]

Last night I got to see one of my all time favorite musical artists perform in a small and intimate concert. That artist is Allison Crowe.

I don’t remember how I first discovered Allison, but I’ve been playing her on Accident Hash ever since. Her voice is pure passion and oh so amazing live. I tell […]

I’m a life long fan of the Fluffernutter, so I’m trying to figure out how to update this to make them instead. PB&J has never been something I’ve liked.

Having fun watching people get into these DIY videos from Verizon FiOS and the My […]
