The Internet Will Disappear
Fascinating thoughts from Eric Schmidt: “There will be so many IP addresses (…) so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won’t even sense it.” Surely you will sense it, because you’ll find this magical at-oneness with the digital world far more interesting than, say, the […]
Why I Left the Law for Digital Marketing
Eight years ago, I left the legal field behind. I worked with a fantastic little firm in Nashville, TN. But, I left anyway. After my first year of law school, I knew that law just wasn’t for me. I clerked with the Tennessee Supreme Court and the U.S. Attorney’s Office after that first summer. While these […]
Keeping track of restaurants with Foursquare
I am a life hacker. Love it. I’ll look for any opportunity to use technology to give me that little edge that I need. When I travel, I like to keep track of great restaurants. Sometimes, you need to remember that great place that you ate at. But, your friends also want recommendations. Do this and […]

I am a big fan of Omnifocus. It’s a great mobile app. But, it’s a great desktop app, as well. It really does a great job of keeping my life in order. Admittedly, I don’t max it out to its full product management capabilities. Even still, I have found it to be very beneficial in […]

Story of the AOL Running Man & the Demise of AOL
I’ve always been curious about the origin of this. But, here’s the story. “The [running man] design came about because I was spending a lot of time looking at 1940s and ’50s postwar American logos and trademarks. If you go back to ’40s and ’50s logos and trademarks, you’ll see that there’s actually quite a […]
New WordPress Feature: Centralized Management through Jetpack
A great new feature of WordPress launched this week – centralized management of all of your blogs through the WordPress.com platform. This is a really great feature and I am extremely happy with it. If you manage multiple blogs, this is the answer to a lot of your problems. You can go to one centralized […]
