Don’t let this mellowed out picture of Scott Sigler fool you. We were having breakfast in NYC and neither of us was quite awake yet. This man has issues and now he’s taken it a step further then I thought he would with his new announcement.
Scott and I have become good friends over the years […]
Last night I had an amazing dinner in a room full of powerful people, with powerful minds. Very open discussions about the future of media, the problems agencies are having working with brands in this space and future thinking about where we think the space is going to change and evolve. Amazing to hear such […]
Yesterday on Accident Hash I talked a bit about how I really feel that with the collective power of unconferences happening around the globe that we’ve got to harness that power and use it to help others out more. I was specifically talking on the show about the idea for a PodCamp New Orleans, but […]
So I just finished recording the latest Managing the Gray where I question if we are all selling ourselves short or not. You can listen directly here.
This week has contained a lot of frustration, reflection and open honest conversation. That makes for some serious treading on the soul, but I think it was for the […]
Last night was a fun night. It started off with a Boston Tweetup, then some of us migrated to the Boston No Reservations screening that Warner Brothers and StartCooking.com hosted and ended at Boston Billiards with a few of us just sitting around and talking about all sorts of things into the wee hours of […]
Have you heard the utter crap version of the theme song that is going out with the Transformers movie? If not then don’t bother.
The guys in Black Lab heard it and thought it sucked as well. But, in true new media fashion they didn’t just sit around and complain about it. They went into the […]
I have always been a lover of hot wings. I still try to go to Wings Express in Waltham whenever I can since we could have lived off of those sometimes when I was in college.
But, this post doesn’t have to do with the honey barbecue variety, but rather the virtual variety.
Read all about Matthew […]
This is my desk. A post today on UberNoggin (a new favorite blog of mine) was talking about Al Gore’s desk and the “mess” that it was in. The encouragement to share pictures of your workspace and how it is used of course made me stand up, grab the camera and just shoot a photo. […]
You can now download my presentation “The New Media Playground” from PodCamp NYC.
This photo taken and shared by Daniel Alexander/FramesMedia.com. His photos from PodCamp NYC are some of my favorite ones. Especially the ones from the first night at Slate. Absolutely amazing work!
Sure, it’s a great song by Harry Chapin, but it’s also how I’m thinking about people interacting with new technology. It seems to go something like this:
New technology gets announced
Alpha Adopters check it out, some stay, some leave
Tech Blogs pick up on it and write about it
2nd wave of people come in to check it […]
I just watched something truly epic happen via Twitter.
The John Edwards Campaign via it’s Twitter page (I don’t know if Senator Edwards is actually doing the twittering or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was) made an announcement that it was going to go Carbon Neutral. I thought this was a great idea […]
I’m trying to make it through everyone on this 2000 Bloggers idea. It’s going to take me a while to check them all out, but since I took part in it I want to make an effort to check them out. I’m starting at the top and just working my way left to right and […]
It’s really all Cat’s fault, but I love her so I’m not mad.
You know how people like Chris Brogan and others are always taking pictures of themselves through out the day and what not? Well earlier today both Christopher Penn and I both took pictures of ourselves at work with our new books we got […]
I can’t thank Christopher Penn enough for having inviting me and others over to his house last night for a little intimate New Media Party.
It was a nice night of drinks, munchies, chat and some powerful goal setting. There are even “show notes” from the night. I just uploaded my pictures here including the one […]
On the latest episode of Scott Sigler’s podcast only novel “The Rookie” he mentioned fan interest in a video game version of the book. For those of you not listening to it (shame on you) imagine the football movie Any Given Sunday set in outer space. So you have all the action of hard […]
