Blogging around here has been light due to the fact that I’ve been analog the last week as we took some much needed R&R time down in Aruba. I had never been there before but would certainly go back. For those interested in the trip, read some of Sherri’s postings at HermanWeb or check out [...]

If you are in anyway attached to the technology/Internet/digital media world, you probably have read it… or should go back and read it. My colleague wanted me to verify [...]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’re well aware of the Lacy/Zuckerberg interview that took place in Austin. If we can look past this historical interview, you would notice that FriendFeed emerged and as some would quote, became the Twitter of SXSW. Recently, there has even been a lifestreaming backlash posting that made [...]
There are two topics that I want to address but don’t have enough time to write two distinctly different posts.
