I’ve recently been involved in a discussion about what makes a rockstar developer for a startup. This has always surprised me- the reality of the matter is that there are no rockstars, only people who think of themselves as rockstars,…

If you’re in an agency and/or have been paying attention to Business Week and the Wall Street Journal recently, you’ll know that my former employer Resource Interactive recently released a service offering called “Off The Wall“, which in short is…
There is a $128 billion dollar untapped demand for student debt assistance, if you can find a way to meet it. The conditions of the environment in which this demand exists may even contribute to an increase in the demand as you provide a debt-assistance service.
I think it’s about high time that I find a partner. Let me explain: I have an Idea- and I think it’s a pretty big idea- but as I’ve moved forward with the tech implementation I’m starting to realize that…
First, the big news: Andrea Hill and I will be jointly leading one of the core conversations at South By Southwest. Cool, huhn? Even better, our conversation will be focused on managing your career and figuring out how to pursue opportunities, somethign that’s been at the forefront of both of our minds recently.
Miss me? Yes, I haven’t posted for… oh man, way too long, and I honestly don’t think my schedule’s going to change much at all, so I doubt I’m going to pick up the pace anytime soon. But having said…
In combination with my presentation on Streaming Media on the Web given to Columbus Digital last night, I figured I’d provide a high-level overview of how streaming media works on the web. I’m very intentionally trying to write this for a non-technical audience, so please provide feedback if I get a little too dense.
There are, in essence, three different ways to consume media on the internet. This is regardless of what kind it is- a solution that would work for sound will also work for video and vice-versa. While technical implementation may limit the formats you can broadcast, those choices are usually made well after the project requirements have been set.
Three weeks ago, Columbus hosted Startup Weekend, and one of the presenters (blah name here) effectively stated that the first step of a startup should be to get something out there to gauge interest. This is fair- fact is there’s…
As some of you might know, I’ll be speaking at WordCamp Columbus this Saturday. The title of the presentation is "Advanced WordPress Installs", but I figured I’d put out a slightly more detailed overview of what I’ll be speaking about.
One thing that has really started to bother me since the advent of Tweetdeck is the fact that I can’t tell who’s interested in actually having a conversation, and who’s stuffed me into a filter and only follows me out of some… misplaced belief that a mutual follow will ensure that I provide them with my undying adulation. Thus I pose to you a social experiment: If you actually clicked on the twitter link to this post, and are reading this paragraph, either send me a private line, @ me or comment on this post, and I’ll put you on the list of “people who are actually interested in having a conversation”.
Everyone on that list gets followed. Everyone else gets dropped.
