WTF Is Pinterest?

I believe it was my business partner Jessica who first said the word Pinterest out loud. I asked what she was referring to and I was shown this odd website that looked like a mix between an ad agency’s mood wall and some gal’s “vision board”.  I joked that I hadn’t heard of Pinterest, but [...]

Some Of My Favorite Blogs

I was talking with my friend Rachel, and she was explaining she spends more and more time reading blogs these days.  It’s not particularly surprising.  ”Blog” is really one of those non-words, because it attempts to explain far too large a category.  There are an endless variety of blogs out there, from the informative to [...]

Strangers On A Bus

Last week I had two occurrences which made me contemplate the information revolution and how it might effect our lives in some unique ways.  Sometimes the technology comes at us so fast we forget that it hasn’t been with us for very long.  I can hardly imagine myself without a cell phone – but less [...]

Palin is no “lame-duck”, but rather a sly-fox.

“Never think too little of people; there’s always a little less to be thought.”
