  • Thoughts on PayPerPost – The Only Time I'll Talk About It

    A lot has been said about PayPerPost over the past few years and largely, I’ve stayed quiet on the matter. My silence should not be interpreted as acceptance of how the business is setup or “sold” to bloggers. Techcrunch and others have covered the company, the business practice and the impact on the blogosphere ad…

  • Coworking Columbia

    Sometime last year, I discovered Independent’s Hall in Philadelphia. Indy Hall is a coworking organization that was started by the entrepreneurial community, and largely spearheaded by Alex Hillman who saw the community developing and the need for folks to get together and work.

  • Lessons in Brand Management from Barack Obama

    Note: This is not a political post, nor is it a political endorsement. Wednesday morning.

Skydivers can only accelerate to a certain speed before maxing out at a terminal velocity. For the geeky science type among us, the formula is for determining…

  • Mokonji

    I began working on a project recently that I’m not ready to talk about in great detail. Let’s just say that it is somewhat the anti-social network, though it will take elements of social networks and tie into social networks and behave in many ways like social networks. However, it is not about social networks…

  • SXSW Beatbox

    Yep, the SXSW posts seem to keep coming. My friends over at IZEA put this video together. (Disclaimer: This is not a paid review! ;-) ) Anyways, great footage, hilarious video. Yours truly pulls a paparazzi move at the end.

  • SXSW Recap

    I’m back on Maryland soil now after changing my flight to come back home Wednesday instead of Thursday. It’s been a heck of a trip and I’m so exhausted. Nonetheless, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. I’ll have to catch up on the sessions I wanted to attend but did…
