Reflective Fall Morning

I spent the weekend in Montreal meeting a lot of great people at PodCamp Montreal. If you are curious for more details, I talked about it on yesterday’s Managing the Gray.

This picture taken by the extremely talented Marko Kulik captures Mitch Joel and I during our session. I love photos that capture the energy of […]

My Omnivore Hundred

I first heard about The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred from my buddy Julien Smith and being a guy who loves to try new foods it instantly peaked my interest.
The concept is simple, someone put together a list of 100 different foods they think you must try in your lifetime. The ones that are bolded I have […]

Twittering on NPR

So I guess I was on NPR last night. It sounds funny to say that, but I got home from taking the kids to swimming lessons and had a bunch of Twitter messages and e-mails saying “congrats on NPR” and I had no idea what it was about.
Turns out that an interview I did about […]

I Wish Every Tuesday Was This Good

I spent today in a small room in Needham, MA speaking at the New Marketing Bootcamp. It was a small, highly interactive and curious crowd which made for a great day. Plus I got to meet people like Paul Gillin who I had only read before, but it is always nice to be able to […]

Short Weeks

Laura and I have an erasable calendar on the fridge so that on Sundays we can lay out the upcoming week on it and make sure we are in sync with everything. It is a great way to keep the whole family on the same page and to avoid confusion of who is doing what […]

Looking Back at BostonNOW

While at PodCamp Boston 3, I was asked by John Wilpers to share my thoughts on being one of the bloggers that took part in BostonNOW when it was happening.

For those of you who don’t know, BostonNOW was a daily newspaper that allowed bloggers to write about anything they wanted and then they would take […]

Where I Will Be This Month

Ok, after the 7th person today asked me, “Are you going to PodCamp Philly?” I figured it as good of a time as any to say that no I won’t be heading down to the home of yummy cheese steaks this year.
Between running my own company and being a family man I have to be […]

A fellow student at this weekend’s photography workshop got this shot of John Wall and I. It was a blast to hang with John since we don’t seem to get to do it often enough. We even recorded a carcast on our way to and from L.L. Bean that I’ll link to […]

Canon 50D Lust

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my camera for a while, but as I thought about it more and began to search online there seemed to be reason to wait since everyone was hinting at Canon upgrading their line soon.Tuesday before I headed to Maine to shoot pictures for four days, I read about the new […]

All I Want to Do is Be Organized

I didn’t think it would be so hard to keep my calendar up to date and correct across multiple devices, but it is proving to be a bear of a time. I know I’m not the only one doing this, so here is what I want to do:

I have an iMac that is my main […]

Second day in the new office and I am slowly making it my own.

PodCamp Montreal

I’m just back from the New Media Expo with a head full of thoughts, reactions and other things that will make their way into a blog post or podcast in the near future, but for now I wanted to give a plug for another conference I am going to be attending.
PodCamp Montreal is happening on […]
