George’s Check Ins Across America
The great thing about the Internet is that you can revisit your past. Like a time capsule, it contains nuggets of information long forgotten, only to be uncovered. I recently stumbled upon Weeplaces – a Foursquare visualization tool. It shows your entire timeline of places that you have checked in. Here’s a visualization of my [...]
My BlogHer: in Pictures
BlogHer is sometimes best told in pictures. And, since I don’t take any pictures of my own, I will have to rely on a little help from my friends… All that’s missing is a little video from me doing the Just Dance Game and we’ll have ourselves a nice recap. I’m sure that’s coming. I’m [...]
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Over the past few months, I have traveled too much. I have traveled by plane, train, and automobile. I have visited a foreign country (okay – it was Canada, but still…) and have gone coast to coast. I have made layovers in Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit, and probably a few other cities. [...]

About a year ago, I was sitting at The Cup in Boulder Colorado with my new friend Jess. We were people watching, just hanging out, and getting to know each other. At the time, I probably didn’t even contemplate leaving Colorado. I was happy. A year later, I’ve been in New York for over six [...]

Underneath this beautiful circus tent, in front of hundreds of spectators who are expecting a slip, a fall – each performer had perfect balance. Precision in their every movement. How does one achieve such perfection [...]

While I’m not talking about tech nostalgia per se, but it does get me thinking about [...]
Me Write Pretty One Day
“Writing is pain. I’m not here to make it less painful for you. I’m here to take you to new levels where you will experience deeper and different kinds of pain.” – Pat Mouton, Liverpool High School English I started writing this post 15 days ago, when the most influential teacher in my life Pat [...]
The Blues
I spent most of yesterday staying dry in my house and painting my living room. It was actually a fun project and, since the living room neighbors my bedroom, necessary to bring some color to the downstairs part of my apartment. As you can tell from these two pictures, the walls were in dire need [...]
You are what you love
It’s late at night and I’m just finishing up working. It’s a Friday night, but it doesn’t have the same closure of most Friday nights. I’m feeling alone and tired. At the end of the day, I can’t help but think about a quote from a Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins Song, “You are [...]
