The List Is Life (or: Ma’am, step AWAY from the To Do List.)

January 14, 2010

I have a To Do List. Had a To Do List. Unlike many, mine was not actually written on a stark page titled To Do with numbers and lines and arrows. Not for me the paper prison. My To Dos were scattered on tiny purple post-its, in mental notes and calculations, in tweets, and in [...]

Giving Up

November 10, 2009

I’m working on a review of Google Wave to be released tomorrow – so do send me your questions or leave them in the comments, if you have any. The review was slated to come out today, but a more important topic got me thinking this morning. Here’s how it started: Charlie Gilkey and I [...]

October 26, 2009

I’d been procrastinating over watching Merlin Mann’s latest video. Sure, everyone watched the little 5 minute Merlin Labs bit (“Giant Cock Paper” – heh!), but the other one?

September 21, 2009

The call was great, and my good friend Stef (having been a software entrepreneur in a previous life) was fantastic at answering questions on all sorts of things from neurolinguistic programming as a marketing technique to strategies for setting up one’s [...]

I Have A Confession.

September 9, 2009

I am an Ivy League dropout. Admittedly, that sounds kind of douchey. It’s the “Ivy League” bit, isn’t it? Yeah – I know. Which is kinda why I quit. Quit? May 2008. The very last day of the semester. A computer lab in Lerner Hall – the student center of Columbia University. Final exams are [...]
