Thank You

May 7, 2012

This past weekend, I attended SOBCon here in Chicago. It was such a great event, especially for those with entrepreneurial inklings such as myself. Regardless of what reasons people attended, the crowd there was so passionate about what they do, you couldn’t help but be inspired. One of the talks that really hit me was [...]

Hemingway: Forget Your Personal Tragedy

May 1, 2012

If you haven’t visited Letters of Note, you definitely should. It provides “fascinating letters” and correspondence from the famous and infamous.

This is Miles. If you’re just tuning in, this is my son, who will be three years old on Wednesday. That’s right – three years old. Miles likes to do silly things.

Insta-Week | Austin Edition

March 16, 2012

The Texas-sized story behind this week’s photos: 1 & 2 – As you may recall, I just spent almost a week in Austin attending conferences – networking, learning stuff, hanging out with good friends, old and new. The weather was really crappy the first few days, but when it finally cleared up, it was beautiful [...]
