The Coming Conference Blitz

by Caleb on March 5, 2012

Social Business Summit, Dad 2.0 Summit and SXSW Interactive. The Conference Blitz!

You may have noticed that I’ve been a little M.I.A. around here the last few weeks. Life’s been really busy, for a few reasons. One is that we’ve been seriously house-hunting. (We got an offer accepted this weekend! Yikes. More on that later.)

Another reason is that I’ve been seriously busy at work and home preparing for what can only be described as a conference blitz.

Just leaving this place, after having spent three days in nature, away from the big city. More on that later. Suffice it to say, I am not ready to go. How was your weekend?

I’m walking down one of many industrial streets in Chicago, away from the Story Conference, a gathering of creatives and storytellers meant to inspire us to use what we do towards a common purpose. For some reason, it’s having the opposite effect on me. I’m questioning the very purpose of what I do.

I’m laying in the sand on the beach, letting the sun wash over me, and the pulsating beat of the waves drown out a lifetime’s worth of Chicago-sized worries. I am on a much needed vacation.

Quick, exciting news: kind of last minute, I’ve made plans to join the crew down at SXSW Interactive this year starting this Friday. Looking forward to all the networking, learning, and (hopefully not too much) drinking that comes with it. Headed there yourself? Let’s connect. My SXsocial profile is up to date, and I’m putting [...]

I’m not talented. I’m really not. I attempt to write cohesive thoughts down in a way that makes sense. I occasionally play and/or sing music. I dabble in design. I obsess over creating, but I’m really only OK at it. That’s why it’s really hard to live with Caroline sometimes.

28 Days of Blogging

This month, I’m challenging myself to write a post here every day. Some posts will be longer stories or thoughts. More will probably be shorter dribbles of consciousness, or some cool new item I think you should check out. But the point is to stretch myself as a writer, blogger and thinker. (And that’s much [...]

To be a parent is to know your limits – physically, mentally, emotionally. You work for eight (or more) hours, and come home to your kids. And those kids expect you to be more than someone who just worked for eight hours. They want to talk to you, to play with you. They also want [...]

A Day in the Life: Mornings

Sometime before the sun rises, my wife wakes me up before she’s out the door. Because she has such a long morning commute, it’s up to me to take care of the little guy. It’s at this point that my brain gears start firing, but I think it happens for me slower than most. I [...]
