Tweet

Congrats are in order for my buddy CC Chapman. Today he announced that his company, The Advance Guard, has been acquired by Campfire. That’s a huge win for both companies.

The time-sink is in the details

August 5, 2009

Tweet

Image by Clover_1 via Flickr
Details matter. And I suck at them. My posts, updates, emails and damn near every form of communication is littered with typos. I go fast. I’d like to slow down. I’d like to catch them before they get published. I know I need to. But…
Time, you know?
Speed to market is important. [...]

Man on a daily mission

July 17, 2009

Tweet

If you haven’t heard the news, I’ve had another life-altering July. More about that later.
Like many of you, I use the web for work. We even have a term for this: web worker. No, it’s not the most poetic. But it does state the plain truth. Also like many of you, I use the [...]

April 29, 2009

Tweet

Image via CrunchBase
Twitter is a great communications tool. I manage several different accounts, but focus most of my attention on @evo_terra and @Podiobooks.com. The first is me, in all my glory. Those that follow there know that it’s often times not safe for work. But that’s the real me, and I’m not at work all [...]

March 9, 2009

Tweet

I co-written books with Tee Morris. I know him as a stand-up guy, filled to the brim with passion and drive. He’s been on the lecture circuit for a while now. But since he’s on the east coast and I’m near the west, I’ve never seen him present.
Until today, thanks to Blip.tv:

Tweet

Image by sheiladeeisme via Flickr
Douglas E. Welch is smarter than me. It’s that simple. He’s also nicer than me and generally more helpful and caring. I strive to be like him. I fall terribly short. I’m grateful that he’s allowed me to be the point-man for New Media Interchange Phoenix. And someday I hope to [...]

7 facts about me that you probably don’t care about

December 30, 2008

Tweet

Image by brungrrl via FlickrIt was only matter of time. Dean OUlette (funny name for a Texas fan) tagged me for the most recent reincarnation of this meme. OK. I’ll play.
But for a guy that lives pretty much online and it’s remotely bashful or shy, it’s kinda tough. So I’ll try and pull up seven [...]

Scott Sigler invades Phoenix in January

December 14, 2008

Tweet

Image via Wikipedia
He’s coming. And we can’t escape. If we’re lucky, maybe he won’t bring… THE CHICKEN SCISSORS!
Scott Sigler is coming to town. Which is a lot like saying Santa Claus is coming to town, only Sigler actually is and he doesn’t weigh nearly as much.

Mark your calendars for the event, Phoenix. The most popular [...]

Tweet

Image by EricaLucci via FlickrWere you in attendance for one of my recent speaking engagements? Did you find the information I gave valuable? If so, can I get a favor from you?

Things aren’t so fun right now

October 28, 2008

Tweet

Image via WikipediaIt’s 12:32am, and I have to be up in less than five hours. Insomnia. Sucks.
Part of it is the coffee I had this afternoon. I shoulda known better.
But a larger part of it is fear and uncertainty. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but it sucks out there right now. No, not a [...]

August 19, 2008

Tweet

Now here’s the coolest thing I’ve read all day:
Obama came to Albuquerque to do a town hall meeting yesterday and on a whim I wrote an email asking if a podcaster would be considered press. They didn’t even blink. They just issued me a press pass and I had all the same access as any [...]

Design the cover of Bill DeSmedt’s next release

June 24, 2008

Tweet

Bill DeSmedt, author of the incredibly rich and exciting novel Singularity, is putting the final touches on his second book in the tale, Dualism. I really enjoyed Bill’s hard-science approach in the first book, plus his fantastic Russian accents. But he never will say “moose and squirrel” to me…
Anyhow, before he launches Dualism, he’s going [...]

Going mobile?

May 26, 2008

Tweet

A friend of mine recently launched (Ok, it was a while ago) a service to automatically convert blogs into mobile sites. Now you may be thinking that it’s not all that difficult, or that with the rise of the iPhone and other browser-rich mobile devices, such technology wouldn’t be all that necessary.
I thought that. And [...]
