Sloths and black holes (1)
There’s nothing worse than a ball-hog. Except a guy that can’t cover a four year-old.

The pursuit of crazy (2)
There’s a small problem with being in the business of finding solutions to problems. People aren’t interested.

Next Tuesday - we hope to see you there. You can sign up here or here.
(note: there’s an XBox in the household now for those of you who like that sort of thing…)
What I learned in 2007 (0)
You can learn a lot in a year. For example, that you’re an insanely lucky, hopelessly inept, greedy bastard who has no idea how the world really works and can’t keep his toes warm.
How do you like them Apples? (16)
I held out for years, but by Friday I’ll be a member of the Mac clan.

It’s strange how insecurities can follow you throughout life.
Phone Freeze Tag (0)
Sometimes, a twenty-something can act like a toddler. Generally, that twenty-something is me.
The helplessness of parenthood (3)
How can you help your child avoid the mistakes you made? How do you deal with being rejected by your son or daughter? Why isn’t anyone else terrified they won’t have what it takes?
Resolving to be a better man (3)
How do you top the best year of your life?

Discovering the GTD framework
candle parties (1)
I got into a fairly involved conversation this past weekend at a candle party.
The wife of a friend of mine was hosting one of those parties where the salesperson comes and shows the myriad of uses for candles in your home. My buddy was going to be the only male in attendance, so I volunteered […]
The worst show ever made (1)
When I was a freshman in college, my roommate and I had the terribly misguided idea that we should create a public access television show. We set in motion plans to record a production in our dorm room, get it edited professionally (or learn to do it ourselves,) and figure out how to get it […]
9/16/06 (2)
Two years ago, for reasons that are beyond me, under circumstances I never would have imagined, I was given the greatest gift of my life. I found an equal, a partner, a muse, a role model, a best friend, a love beyond my wildest dreams. Today I publicly give my heart to you for […]
Accountability (1)
I’m tired of being unaccountable for my actions.
I’m tired of living in a culture that tells me it’s okay, I can do what I want. I’m tired of being told that everything is subjective, tired of being told that I can rationalize away my worst thoughts and deeds. I’m tired of being able to chalk […]
Plateaus (0)
The past month or two of my life has been in a constant state of flux, and it’s starting to get to me.
With the move just completed and a wedding fast approaching, with countless projects piling up professionally, my mind has been all over the place. The two years I spent in New York blessed […]
I love/hate New York (3)
Funny how you don’t appreciate things until they’re (almost) gone.
When I left Colorado I was so ready. I had spent my entire life there, was sick of seeing the same people every time I went anywhere, was sick of the lack of diversity and the lack of a big, ambitious young business climate.
These days I […]
discouraging rejection (1)
When I go home to Colorado, I often look at pictures of my brother when we were young. He was the cutest kid I’ve ever seen, with a giddy smile and a dimple in his right cheek. He was so full of life, so quick to laugh, so eager to please our parents, so willing […]
Bill and Warren understand (1)
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are combining their resources in an effort to change the world.
It’s easy to say “So what! If I had 41 billion, I’d give away 35 billion too.”
Thing is, most of us will never have that much scratch. But many of us, in our lifetimes, will have the opportunity to earn […]
Neophilia and its casualties (2)
Seth points out an article today in Media Life Magazine about neophilia, an overwhelming, compulsive love of all things new. Seth rightly points out that this phenomena can easily be found on our coasts and in the tech community, but one would be hard-pressed to find evidence of such an afflicition in, say, Lena, Illionois.
This […]
