Random List of 5 Thoughts from this years BlogHer
I was talking to my friend Sugar Jones about how this year’s BlogHer was “different.” She smiled, started to bounce around to the music, and simply said – “We’re different. We’re older” and proceeded to dance her butt off. I smiled and realized that she was right. The first few days of BlogHer had me [...]
How Foursquare and Mega Bus almost got me in the Des Moines Register
When I finally got around to my voice mail, I figured it would be from an issue that I already took care of. Instead, I hear this: “Um…this is kind of a random request but….” On the other end was a reporter for the Des Moines Register. She was doing an article on Mega Bus [...]
Positively 47th Street: Brian Simpson and The Roger Smith Hotel
New York has always been a hub for people to gather and collect. Neighborhoods formed based on ethnic and social realities. Places are dubbed hot and cool often based on their cross streets.

I am leaving Boulder and the great state of Colorado to return back East to work for R/GA in New York City. This was a move that happened quickly, but [...]
For @Mona: How to Block Facebook Applications
The other day, I was on Twitter and had a quickee conversation with my friend Mona about blocking Facebook applications. Turns out, she didn’t know how. With the feed feature being flooded constantly with applications like Farmville, Yoville, and Mafia Wars – you can’t help but want to get rid of them if you’re not [...]
Three Questions on Soci@lbyte
My good friend Elaine Ellis sat down with me and asked me a few questions about social media. You can find my answers on Socialbyte.net – a new site started by a bunch of great local (Denver area) social media people. I felt honored that Elaine thought of me and glad that I could be [...]
Question: Why Do You Blog?
Growing up, one of the few lessons from childhood that I retained was that my father always encouraged us to ask, “Why?” After all, this question is at the crux of all innovation – it is the curiosity that inspires new thought, new horizons, and new adventures. So – as I spoke on a panel [...]
