Happy New Year everyone! This has unquestionably been the most eventful year of my life to date (other than the year I was born). At the risk of sounding self-absorbed I’m going to list the highlights so that it can go down in my personal history. Here are the bullet points of what happened in […]

A Pumpkin Festival
I have a love for a spectacular game called StarCraft 2. It’s a sequel to one of the best video games ever created, made in 1998, StarCraft. To give you an idea of how great StarCraft is – it is a national sport in South Korea. Television stations are dedicated to broadcasting games between professional […]
Still Alive
This was a triumph. I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. I’m alive and kickin’ and I’m in Spain. I just drafted a lengthy post for the PBS IdeaLab which I’ll link to once it is up, but I have a nice backlog of things to write about here […]
The First 24 Hours of Boston

SpeakerText is a true blue startup that I joined a few months ago. We create interactive transcripts for online video which, in addition to providing some pretty great functionality for media […]
My First Bag of Crap!

My last day was Friday
I had been working for a small web to print company called ColorQuick since June of 2009 to keep me from becoming a homeless person while I waited for Lyla to finish her five-year-long art degree. Apparently it isn’t possible to graduate on time if you are a student at Tyler. The experience was worthwhile, […]
