Before I really began using Flickr, I use to do these sort photo walks on my blog that I referred to as “roads less traveled” where I’d go for a walk and take photos of anything that caught my attention. I’d get home and upload them all to a set and talk about why I [...]

Last weekend I was sitting on the couch with my morning coffee going through Google Reader as if it was a Sunday paper.
I’ve found myself reading more and more photography sites lately. I promised a blog post listing some of my favorites, but since I got so many great suggestions from people recently I wanted [...]

This morning I came downstairs to find Dylan in the living room playing on his DS and Emily in Laura’s office drawing on the crafts table. She said that she thought of something during the night and wanted to make sure she created it this morning.
I love that about her. I see a lot of [...]

I’ve been a happy user of my Kindle since the day it arrived. I’ve shared my thoughts before and they haven’t changed much since then. It is a gadget that I love because it makes something in my life easier.
But, as I ordered my Kindle 2 and awaited it’s arrival (yes, I’m still waiting but [...]

I’ve always been the type of person who is more then happy to help people when they ask. Giving is one of the most beneficial things you can do. I firmly believe that the more you give, the more you get in the long run. Some call it Karma, but I just call it the [...]

I saw my buddy Dave Delaney talking about how to create a twitter mosaic and I thought I’d give it a try.
I have no clue how they choose who to include. I just put in my twitter name (@cc_chapman) and it brought this back almost instantly. I’d love to know what the algorithm behind the [...]

I’ve always been an extremely vivid dreamer. If my brain goes into over drive and I dream a lot in a night it is the worse night of sleep because I wake up almost exhausted every time.
My dreams are all over the place and I’m sure someone could have a blast analyzing them, but for [...]

This has been a great weekend of nothingness. High quality nothingness.
The kids were at my sisters and Laura and I didn’t have any big plans for the weekend. We had a nice romantic dinner at The Metropolitan Club for Valentines, but besides that we chilled. Today was spent mainly with the stereo playing music and [...]

My good friends Julien Smith and Chris Brogan are writing a whole book called Trust Agents.

I got so busy the other day that I forgot that I started a post where I talked about the productive morning I had producing content!
So, to play catch up I wanted to point out two new podcast episodes I put out on Monday morning.
Brand new Accident Hash featuring all new music from a cool [...]

I’m extremely excited that yesterday we pulled back the curtains on The Advance Guard’s web site. It was a long time coming, but I’m excited by how it turned out.
When we launched the company, we knew we needed a web site. To think otherwise is a very naive thought. But, we also knew that we [...]

A lot of things inspire me. A story from Clarence Smith Jr., a photo from Scott Church or a song from Tom Acousti.
Two nights ago as I watched the live TED Prize webcast I was filled with inspiration. Here were people doing amazing things and who know their passions and do everything in life to [...]

Can you imagine your life without clean drinking water? As someone who has been on long hiking and canoeing trips where you have to filter or boil every drop of water you drink I’ve gotten a small taste of what it can be like. But for 1.1 billion people around the globe the idea of [...]
