Social Love, from Inspiring People

May 13, 2011

I’m not sure what this is. I think I was pondering what became my About page and I realized I wanted someone else to write it. So I asked them to. A few months back I sent an email to a group of people I feel lucky to know. People from my past and present [...]

Make A Decision To Decide

Working on a web startup teaches you how to live deliberately. It’s about making decisions quickly and taking action as a default, rather than the other way around. It’s uncomfortable at first, in that it’s a deliberate way of being and until you live deliberately, you just don’t know what it’s like to do so. [...]

There’s a lot of debate right now about the iPhone tracking file that hackers uncovered a day or two ago. But we should care about the implications of a rich file of geographic data living on our iOS devices offering no customer benefit, creating digital footprints that we can’t erase. - Why You Should Care About [...]

Why I Dont Like You

April 18, 2011

That last sentence says it all…I keep meeting food brands who want Facebook fans more than anything else, despite having zero idea as to why. Its kind of weird, isnt it? You have to “like” a brand to complain about them? Sure, its just nomenclature, but its important to know and understand that the majority [...]

Reputation & The Battle For Our Identity

April 10, 2011

This quote and link is a must-read piece from Twitter’s (and Blogger’s) founder Ev Williams, regarding digital identity. Online identity is still a messy problem with lots of opportunities. I predict we’ll continue to see further integration of the five pieces by all major players, as well as more attempts to outsource these services across [...]

How to be Successful like James Franco by @evbogue

April 8, 2011

You’re immersed in your life whether you like it or not. You can’t just be an actor anymore, or a blogger for that matter. You have to be your life, and your life needs to broadcast across all mediums. We’re living in the age of immersion. We’re all performance artists to some extent, performing our [...]

My Position On MySpace About To Come True

March 29, 2011

I’ve been saying for longer than I can remember that MySpace was a few things. First, it’s been the ugliest atrocity of UI on the internet for years, especially before they re-designed it back in July. Secondly, and more importantly, it is the home of music online. On one hand, I’ve said that was a [...]

The Future of Books

March 25, 2011

McSweeney’s takes on books for the next 70 years. Love the snark. Perfectly reproduced will be the sensation of turning the pages, the crack of the spine, and even the occasional paper cut. By 2052, 95% of the activity of 73% of role-players will take place in these hideaways, since they’ll be the only place to [...]

I Wish I Could Write

You wish you could write, sometimes. Wish you could communicate what’s happening with you, how it’s happening, what it feels like while it’s happening. But you’re kind of always doing something other than stopping to think about what is happening, how it’s happening, or what it feels like. Working online steals you away from the [...]

Show Up Attitude

March 18, 2011

My buddy Jay’s been the talk of Vancouver lately and I sometimes forget that it’s happening, because when we grab lunch or beers we rarely talk about this stuff. We have talked about this stuff, in extreme detail, largely because a lot of the way we’re tight is related to a similar mindset about the [...]
