I am the anti writer.
I started this blog and hated writing. Hated it. The thought of expression through writing was really hard, and the thought up putting it up made me sick.
But for some reason, I write.
I don’t have respect for grammar, pacing or even a writing schedule. But I write. And am getting better, [...]

I’ve written about bottoms up leadership before, and am working on ways to make this easier.
Many times I plan an event, say Startup Weekend, and use quite a few services to do so. I’m fine with it, but it makes the process monumental.
I would love to help build a plugin where the major common functions [...]

I share a lot with Shaquille O’Neal. We are both big guys with dashing senses of humor, tastes in fine automobiles, a disliking to Kobe and even the same birthday. We have had a longtime one way relationship. I sent him a letter when I was in the 5th grade. I’m still waiting to hear [...]

When Wordpress 2.6 came out, I was excited about the revisions functionality. Since then, I don’t think I have used it. But I still think it has big things in what it can do.
I want a Wordpress plugin that will transform the blogging software into a wiki. Roughly, here is what I envision:
Readers of a [...]

Miami in mid November is one of the best decisions I have made this year. Warm sand at night, cuban food to write home about and this little thing called the Knight Foundation.
12 of the screeners for this years challenge gathered to screen applications, almost finishing the over 3000 application pile. It has been interesting [...]

Jeremy sent me a quote from the oh so addicting Steep and Cheap website (this went out in an email as well), I thought it was fantastic.
“Passionate” is the most overused word in job interviews and marketing material. Everyone’s passionate about everything they’re try to sell or the line of work they’re trying to get [...]

Call it web9.2 or the latest buzzword, the web is always changing (the only guarantee, right?).
Today I started writing for a blog that is focused on how the web is changing. I wrote about Boulder’s own OneRiot, which launched today.
It will be a great exercise in playing outside my own sandbox and learning about new [...]

My friend Brad Feld put up a challenge on Gyminee. It was just the kick I needed to exercise and improve my eating habits.
In the last 14 days I have lost 3.72% of my total weight.
In typical Boulder fashion, I am not in 1st place (in 3rd).
These challenges are fun, we will see how the [...]

Your early adopters are a startups dream. They use your service, tell all their friends, they report bugs, they love you, they really do.
And you should know that at a point, you need to ignore them.
I read about this topic in Robert Scoble’s Fast Company article this month, Passion Play. What he says is [...]

I’ve been highly impressed with Boulder Accounting firm Doty, Lyle and Jones.
I met Rick Doty a few years ago via a very strong recommendation. He actually makes the process stress free. Never thought I would say that. Tax season is just around the corner, and they have been nothing but great. Always better to [...]
