You learn over time, that when being asked questions by a reporter that you never know which pieces of your answers they are going to take or how they will use them depending on where they are going with their article. Because of this I was a little weary of a request I got yesterday […]

We realized that ten years ago we had both of our families down to Virginia for Thanksgiving. Laura was pregnant with Dylan and it was the last turkey day we’d spend down there before moving back to New England. Having a house full of family this year made me very happy. I’ve been looking forward […]

Today has been the day of a million little tasks. Thankfully I pushed through most of them and can call it day.
This morning the kids and I jumped in the truck and headed over to Outpost Farm to pick up our turkey. We had heard nothing but great stuff about this place so we decided […]

I didn’t grow up playing many video games. We never had a gaming system in the house so whenever I went to a friends it was a lot of excitement and me getting my ass kicked on whatever game was hot at the time. Going to the arcade was a huge luxury and something that […]

The world of iPhone applications is only a few months old. Me being an iPhone user is only a few weeks old.
Because of this, I install a lot of applications. Most are free or cost a couple of dollars, so just like I’m willing to try an unknown song for 99 cents, I’ll give a […]

I got a great surprise this afternoon when I got a Twitter DM and a link to this video. Turns out that this morning when I was talking about and thinking about Sticker Giant they were doing the same thing.
Very humbled by the overly nice things he said about me and The Advance Guard.

Lots floating around in my head this morning and instead of typing or audio recording I figured I’d ramble to the video camera.
I hit on everything from El Consultador, the MITX awards and the bailout of the auto industry. Oh and I do a little show and tell with Chance’s new CD and my new […]

It is an interesting time of year. Right before Thanksgiving and the holiday rush and insanity that follows it.
I LOVE the end of the year though. Being a big family guy, I love having people around, giving hugs and presents, sharing meals and seeing people that you don’t always get to see. On Thanksgiving we’ll […]

We did some cleaning and reorganization this weekend. Seems to be a constant thing in most people’s lives and lately I seem to be finding things that I want to frame and hang on walls. While hanging a print of this picture taken by Andrew Darlow at the first Podcast Expo I noticed the date […]

Emily has been excited about this concert ever since I told her about it. Of course she was originally mad that she wasn’t allowed to enter the contest to win tickets out there, but she got over it when I told her we could still watch it.
Today at 3 pm EST there is a free […]

Right now I’m driving a 2006 Toyota Tundra and love it. But, the lease on it is up next September so I’m already looking for what might be our next car.
Honestly I don’t have any brand loyalty when it comes to cars. I’ve bought three new cars in my life. A Saturn SC2, a Ford […]

Yesterday I had a little moment where I was a bit pissed off. Whenever that happens I crank Rage Against the Machine and they make everything feel better.
Yesterday, I twittered that I was listening to RATM and about an hour later my friend Neil sends me this picture:
I didn’t even realize Lance Armstrong was on […]

Managing the GrayTM today was a straight from the brain to the microphone show as I watched a video that spurred the thought that social media is NOT in every company’s DNA and that they need to realize that before just jumping in and thinking it’ll be all right. I also talked about ROI and […]

Neither of us remember what I said that made her do this. Might have been something about the Jonas Brothers or who knows what, but this picture has such great emotion to it that it makes me smile every time I see it.
Part of the fun of being a parent is making your kids do […]

First off, a big old disclosure that The Coca-Cola Company has been a client of mine. I should also state that I grew up in a house that drank only Coke products and for the most part besides Mountain Dew and Diet Pepsi when there is nothing else that holds true in my house today.
That […]
