Inspiration can come at you when you least expect it.
That isn’t to say that every time I get together with Steve Garfield I’m not inspired in some way because he has that effect on people. If you don’t believe me just watch his 27 People One Question to see what I mean. But, last night [...]

Lots of thoughts and little time to fully formulate them. So a good old fashion brain slurpee list of what is going on inside of my head right now.

I’m wondering if part of the problem with the economy right now is too much information. The last time things were so bad we did not have [...]

I’ve been fortunate enough to be interviewed by lots of different publications, television networks and individuals over the years, but today an interview I gave over a month ago hit the web and it might be my favorite one yet.

Being called “an American Storyteller” by The Smithsonian feels pretty damn cool. Being on the home [...]

Today is my little guy’s birthday. He turns 10.
I’m not sure why this hit me so hard last night. I thought maybe it was because it was getting to me about my age, but that wasn’t it at all. I look back over all that has happened in these ten years and it is quite [...]

I had planned to post this video I made the other day, but then the whole CNN interview happened and that left me rather distracted from everything else.
I wanted to put together something that showcased some of my favorite pictures and events that happened last year. It was fun to go back through and look [...]

I’ve been on the news before and in the papers. I don’t care what anyone says it is always a cool feeling when it happens.
So when I got the call from CNN asking if I could do a live interview tonight, how could I say no. The funny part is that I almost didn’t answer [...]

Today is an obviously special day in America and like most of the country my eyes, ears and brain will be focused on today’s Inauguration ceremonies.I am so impressed with the CNN Live & Facebook Integration that I had to fire up the video camera and share my thoughts with the world.

This changes things. [...]

The last thing I need is another project in my life. I’ll be the first to admit that and Laura will be the first person to remind me.
But, when the chance to share the microphone with such a great variety of people such as Mitch Joel, Julien Smith, Hugh McGuire, Chris Penn and Chris Brogan [...]

So, I’m in New York this weekend working with one of our clients on the F.E.A.R. Lab.
Today was a lot of fun and this picture shows J.C. Hutchins  in the gaming chair playing the game. It is on the back of a truck that is parked outside the store so people walking by can look [...]

In 2002, Laura and I went on a vacation to Sedona, Arizona. I had taken a day trip there the year before while in Phoenix speaking and fell in love with it. The art, food and landscape all sucked me in instantly. Some people think about retiring to Florida, but I would end up here [...]

I told myself that this year when the thought of “hey that might make a nice picture” ever entered my brain that I would  take out a camera and capture the moment. It sounds easy enough, but last year I thought about it more then I actually did it. With my iPhone always with me [...]

This has been a long and short week all at the same time.
After taking off some time for the holidays, it was less then easy to get back into the swing of things. Everyone was in a sort of haze trying to kick start the new year and figure out which obstacle to attack first. [...]

When I was speaking in Arizona late last year, David Alston from Radian6 sat down with me and others and asked us a bunch of questions about Social Media. Today he posted this video of me answering the question of how companies can invest in Social Media.
You can see more of the videos on his [...]

I read about the contest happening at HomeAway and figured I’d take a couple of minutes to submit an entry.

In March, Laura and I will have been together for 20 years. With everything going on running a company, being a dad and the current economic status of the world, I don’t see a trip to [...]

This is leading towards a much bigger post, but last night I realized how much I want software today to work very differently then I did in the past.
In my life there are three main computers I use. My desktop, my laptop and my iPhone. Yes, I consider the iPhone as much of a computer [...]
