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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

I did something this morning that I hadn’t done in a while. I commuted to work. Heck, I even carpooled with Laura since we were headed in the same direction. It was a nice change to the morning and for a Thursday things are rolling along rather nice.
Last night I was part of a segment […]

I’ve been getting a wave of contacts from book publishers asking if I’d like a review copy of their latest title and would I consider doing a review of it on one of my blogs or podcasts.
I LOVE books and have an ever growing library of them, but lately I’m finding that the only time […]

I rarely completely forget about everything and enjoy the day without interruption. I’m always thinking about work in the back of my head or noodling on something. It is just the way I am.
But, yesterday we took the kids to Davis Farmland, came home to make a delicious dinner of steak and chicken fajitas and […]

This week felt like a bit of a whirlwind. Coming off last weekend at PodCamp Boston 3, I entered into a non stop pinball game of tasks, deliverables and meetings. As I sit here on the couch with my morning cup of coffee and nothing immediate that I have to do I figured it was […]

Chris Penn’s opening presentation

I’m up and getting ready to head into PodCamp Boston 3. Took this snap randomly and for fun since I usually take one as the event starts.
My goals for the weekend are:

To reconnect with friends I have not seen in a while
Meet new people and introduce them whoever I know that can help answer their […]

Last night was a good night.
Kevin Smokler was in town from San Francisco and sent a note to a few friends to get together for dinner. The always ready event planner Sooz picked ZuZu for our little gathering. What I loved about it though was that as the seven of us sat down for […]

As I sat by the fire this weekend in the woods with my family, I had plenty of time to idle well and think about a variety of things. Of course a lot of thinking was about the direction of my life, the company that I help run and the marketplace that I work and […]

We wanted to get a new washing machine. We wanted to buy one that was as environmentally friendly as possible while still meeting our needs. Laura went to the stores and looked around for models that she liked. She came home with two brands that she was interested in: LG and Samsung.
So, we both went […]
