We’re Not Done Yet
“We’d love to wait for you to come on board and help us, but fuck it, we’re gonna do it anyway.” – From Scene but not Nerd, January 2007. The sentiment hasn’t changed for me, it won’t change anytime soon, and this past weekend’s events illustrate a very important part: the sentiment is shared by more than just this

However, “If we devote ourselves to sacredness in our vocations, the world will rise to meet us” – Joel Salatin This is why I harp on the little stuff. This is why I care about the people who are “doin’ it wrong”. I believe so strongly in the sacredness of my our vocations, that I find it mentally and physically disruptive to see someone misconstrues, misinterpret, misinform, or completely misses out on the potential of their own vocation. I have a lot to say about TEDxMidatlantic, its contents, its inception, and more. In the mean ti

I’ve been watching sports
It almost feels like a dirty secret I’m confessing.

I’m a regular at a handful of the best karaoke nights in Philadelphia, not the least of which is the regular Tuesday Night Crowd with DJ Joe H at National Mechanics (which we’ve lovingly dubbed TechKaraokePHL), and more recently, the

Lists, and what others think of you
I haven’t written a post about Twitter in a good, good long while. That’s not by accident, either. There’s PLENTY of blog buzz for Twitter, and it doesn’t need mine. In fact, even in all of the seminars, panels, and presentations I’ve given in the last year, I’ve done my best to avoid discussing Twitter. Recently, I openly asked the audience to stop asking me questions about Twitter (and social media in general) and ask me interesting, hard questions. I might have turned some people off, but I think the majority of the people appreciated it. So why stray from a good habit? Something interesting happened in social media, for a chang
