I’m alive. It’s true. In fact, I was just up at BlogCarolinas in Research Triangle Park a few days ago, so I even have evidence of my livelihood and that this isn’t in fact a ghost writer trying to cover up my assassination (because, you know, I’m important enough to be assassinated).
So what’s been my [...]

The Trick
March 18, 2008 – 1:45 pm
Is there is no trick.
There is no trick to having a successful career.
There is no trick to relationships.
There is no trick to creating a successful startup.
There is no trick to having a marketing campaign go viral.
As soon as you start looking for ‘the trick’, you’ve devalued what you’re doing and slowed yourself down. It all [...]
8 Things You May Not Know About Me
January 25, 2008 – 4:11 pm
Ryan was kind enough to tag me for a meme that was going around. I say was because, well, I’ve been really busy at work and school the past couple of weeks, so when it comes to churning out something personal, it’s taken more time.
Have no fear, though! Here are 8 things you may not [...]
The new breed of workaholics
January 16, 2008 – 7:11 pm
Seth Godin wrote about workaholics. His comments ring especially true for me. Mr. Godin says that old workaholics were always working out of fear. New workaholics work out of passion.
When it comes to the new workaholics, I couldn’t agree more (my dad was an old workaholic, but I don’t know if it was out [...]
End of the week yammering + Flying Back
January 5, 2008 – 5:03 am
I have a red-eye flight out of San Jose and will ultimately end up in Raleigh, NC. Originally I thought the red eye would be a good idea. I dislike flying for long hours (eg: anything longer than 2-3hr) so I figured by having a red eye I would be more inclined to fall asleep. [...]
Tweaks, hooha’s, and a new year!
January 1, 2008 – 2:02 am
Since Christmas I’ve been doing some playing and tweaking to my blog. If you visit my site, you’ll notice a few changes in the menu area (still trying to get the bloody thing to show properly in IE as it does for Firefox. Damn you, CSS!).
I’ve also been playing with Tumblr more recently as my [...]
A Digital Christmas
December 25, 2007 – 9:00 pm
Haven’t figured out how to add images to a post mobily. But here is a view of tech in action as we use skype to bring my brother in laws family (who’s in Scotland) to christmas in video form (and us to them). I love technology.
Update:
Added the picture. Got an HTC Tilt for xmas. In [...]
Merry Christmas
December 25, 2007 – 7:32 am
I figured while I am up and thinking late this Christmas Eve, I would do some blogging (as you saw by my slightly earlier post).
You all are like a part of the family (insert Hallmark moment). But really, thank you all for reading and have a Merry Christmas. Not happy holidays, screw that.

Arrived and back in the swing
December 19, 2007 – 7:20 pm
No, it didn’t actually take me 4 days to get to California, although both of my flights on Saturday were delayed. At any rate I am here, past my jet lag (for some reason 3 hours affects me more than the larger time differences). Now that I am all settled in, I will be posting [...]
Web 2.0, to bubble or not to bubble?
December 4, 2007 – 8:21 pm
Hilarious. You won’t regret watching it.

Update
Er, what’s not so hilarious is embedding the video breaks the CSS on my blog (probably because Tay came to haunt me for holding him in contempt in my last blog post). In the mean time, I tried to accommodate you all with the above by creating an image that [...]
