Thoughts, Words, Actions.

I haven’t been as active on this blog lately for a lot of reasons and it may get even quieter for a while.
I’ve been blogging a lot on my locally focused tech blog, TechBoise.
I’ve still been relatively active on Twitter, FriendFeed and BrightKite.
But mostly I’ve been thinking.
There’s a lot of noise out there and it’s […]

What companies could learn about new media from the LDS Church

I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saint also referred to as lDS or the Mormons.
In this months Church publication, The Ensign, one of our […]

Content Explosion and Re-Aggregation

There have been two huge enablers in my online publishing habits. FriendFeed and my BlackJack 2.

I’ve always had a variety of desktop *publishing tools* but my BlackJack has enabled me to create content on the go, and FriendFeed pulls all that content together. While Louis Gray is the real maven on FriendFeed and all […]

The rise of crappy pics and vids

Now that I have a 3G camera phone I feel this overwhelming urge to do more with pictures and video. As I’ve stated before I personally still prefer text over video for business applications. But there is no denying that video can really enhance certain types of content.

How do you stay grounded?

I learned a long time ago that I am NEVER the target audience. As early adopters (if you’re a regular reader of this blog you’re probably an early adopter) it becomes easy to lose touch with reality. If you’re a fellow blogger then you live in a world filled with other bloggers and […]

Knowing when to shut up

The above photo is of me doing my MBA homework while my youngest son, Seth, plays games on PBSkids.org. When I was his age my father was getting his Masters and I was watching Sesame Street on PBS. […]

Conversation Matter: Bridging the Social Media Gap

Last month Michael Brito contacted me about a project he was getting ready to launch. I’d met Michael at a conference last year, he had left HP right before I started working there. He went to Yahoo and now is at Intel. Michael’s idea was to […]

Social Media is Journalisms Future

Newspaper editors aren’t happy with the changes in the Associated Press’ rate structure or the CEO’s comments that I mentioned here. With as valuable a service as they provide it seems to me like news papers and the AP are heading down separate paths. It will take some bold moves from some inovative […]

Scoble Throws in the Twitter Towel

I just saw Robert Scoble present at the Media Relations Summit and a big part of his presentation was about Twitter. Then today this popped up.
