A few months ago I signed up for Plaxo. Unlike most services I have signed up for in the past 2 years, Plaxo was not in beta. The funny thing is that I had sworn off Plaxo a long time ago. Ah how times change.
I remember when Plaxo cam on the scene [...]
In case you have to do any back-to-school shopping for someone in the 12-24 age range I thought I should let you in on a little secret. Plato’s Closet of Cool Springs is the absolute best place for back to school clothes in the middle Tennessee area.
The prices are unbeatable.
The selection is unbeatable.
The owners [...]
Mike Sechrist has a great post up today talking about his life (so far) after WKRN. It includes the following tidbit about how he perception of network TV has changed now that he is no longer a network station manager:
I have learned a lot during this downtime. I have rarely watched any broadcast [...]
Have you heard about BarCamp Nashville? (That was really a rhetorical question; everyone has heard about BarCamp Nashville.) Well, the other day I was able to get a sneak peak at the presentation lineup for the ExitIn stage. Let me be the first (or third) to tell you that this event is going [...]

When I was just a wee lad, my maternal Grandfather (Henry Shipp) died from ALS (also known as Lou Gehrigs disease). It had been a long, painful battle with a very confusing and painful disease. That was in 1979 (I think).
In many ways ALS is one of the diseases that modern medicine has [...]
I have mentioned before that I think the original Nashville Is Talking is dead. It was no single event that killed it; it was a slow ending that played out over the course of a few months. What once was will never be again. I mean, it could be, but it won’t.
Now [...]
When we were deciding on a location for our retail store we wanted to pick a location that would be good for the long term. As we looked at the available markets we settled on Cool Springs. At the time the population density and demographics didn’t look great, but we felt that Cool [...]
I went to Flugtag downtown yesterday. I have to say it was the most enjoyable event I have ever been to at Riverfront park. Well, maybe Koko Taylor on my 18th birthday was more fun, but I had a blast yesterday.
The actual flying contraptions didn’t fly very well. The “world record breaking” [...]
