THE DREAM IN ACTION

Fred Wilson recently posted about the value of sharing on the web, which he called extroversion. Fred, and I, are both fairly open with our identities on the web and by doing that we’re taking a bet that the value of sharing is larger than the small chance that some web stalker will do something [...]

As the Adaptive Blue team wrote in their blog post about this new release, this update is “One Small Step for Glue, One Giant Leap for Usability”, and they are right. Before today, I always thought of Glue as the intangible social network. The data was out there, and valuable, but it wasn’t easy or [...]

I’ve been listening to a lot more music than normal since I’ve been working from home for the past few weeks. I’ve really enjoyed diving into the lesser known songs on some of my favorite albums. I decided to see how some of my new found favorites racked and stacked against one another, luckily, there [...]

I’m a dog person. I’ve grown up with dogs and love them. I have a particularly special place in my heart for Golden Retrievers because a special Golden named Chelsea use to break my falls at the age of 3. Now @mollstar‘s dog, Moose, takes Chelsea’s place.

Transparency in a digital world is a very good thing. You all know that I’m very transparent with my activities on the web. I always sign-up for service with my real name and I’ve never left an anonymous blog comment in my life. I really do believe that if you’re going to do something on [...]

Late last year I started thinking a bit about gen-Y and what my generation means to the workforce. I wondered how we would affect the way businesses hire, how they’d treat employees, what opportunities companies would create for us, and how we would create opportunities for ourselves even when companies wouldn’t (or couldn’t). Those thoughts [...]

The strategy is called Guerrilla War of the Mind Strategy. Below are some lessons I [...]

Last night I was at Lollapalooza (#lolla). The day was phenomenal including shows from Airborn Toxic Event, The Hood Internet, Passion Pit, Snoop Dogg, & Band of Horses. I took a bunch more pics and posted them to my flickr. One thing that really stuck out to me all day was the fact that when [...]

What skills do you think the perfect entrepreneur needs to have? My answer would be (and I assume yours would be similar), the perfect entrepreneur has every skill that a business requires in order to get started and grow, then that same entrepreneur would have to have the leadership skills to guide a newly acquired [...]

I recently came across one of the more talented videographers I’ve ever seen on the web. Jon Rawlinson is a filmmaker, cinematographer and editor based in Vancouver, Canada. He’s been doing documentaries and corporate video production for about 7 years and has done projects in over 30 countries (awesome). I only know Jon through his [...]
