It recently occurred to me that through the course of my life I have devoted way too much time to socks. Yes, socks.

Yesterday I got to celebrate my birthday by having my very own social media conference – SummitUp. I highly recommend this as a way to celebrate your next birthday.

Are You A Gmail Ninja?
Posted on June 25, 2009 //
Like every suburban white kid who grew up in the early 1980’s, I love and respect the Ninja.

Olympic Fun

For the past week I have been completely enthralled with the Olympics. It is funny, because in the days leading up to the games I was not really all that excited about them. With the exception of 3 nights of synchronized diving, (Seriously… this should be a 30 second highlight reel, not 3 nights of […]
