I like Rex Hammock’s term “Mediacasting”; he is good at the semantics of “conversational media” (another term I got from Rex).
So, we are casting out communications on all these different channels: web sites, RSS feeds, Twitter, social networks (Facebook, Plaxo Pulse), email, etc. The goal is to make sure everyone is able to get the [...]
Recently in Nashville there was one of those major security breeches that happened as the result of too much information being on a portable computer drive. In this specific case a laptop was stolen from the Nashville Election Commission with what I think was the entire voter registration database (social security numbers and all). There [...]
Some time back I added “the philosophy of technology” as a tagline to jaxn.org (though I have turned it on and off a few times). I am not exactly sure where the phrase came from, but I have a feeling it was something someone said to me. Still, it has a very specific meaning to [...]
I had lunch with a couple of the guys from StudioNow today. It got me thinking again about the value add good editors can provide in today’s world where we are all creating (blogs, pictures, videos, etc).
For those that don’t know, StudioNow is a local (Nashville) company that can take a bunch of raw creative [...]
You know that saying that goes “when you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail”? It is usually an easy way to talk about using the right tool for the job. However, the converse is not always true; sometimes the right tool for a job is a hammer even though you are not [...]
I tend to make a fair number of predictions here. Oddly, this year, I don’t feel like predicting anything; I am just too excited to see what happens to go trying to spoil the surprise now. Here is some of what excites me most:
Plato’s Closet in Murfreesboro (technically opened to buy for 3 days in [...]
My in-laws gave me a sweet new iPod Nano. I had been wanting one for a while because my iPod photo feels too big and bulky, and I am willing to trade off disk space for pocket space.
Sabrina and I gave Carter and Zavier iPod shuffles. They love them and I love that I am [...]
I just read that Ma.gnolia (my social bookmark application of choice) is starting to provide APML information (read the annoucement). This is very cool.
At BarCamp Nashville I was talking about a concept I had termed “3D Social Networking”. The basic idea was to add attention information to social networks to provide relationship depth. Then that [...]
Last year I wrote a post titled “I Will Buy Your Idea“. It was a tongue-in-cheek post that was trying to make this point:
Ideas have no monetary value. The worth is in the implementation.
Dane Carlson picked it up and posted this on his Business Opportunities Weblog:
“Finally, someone recognizes the true value of a great idea: [...]
It is Friday evening. I am writing this while on a flight from Washington, DC to Nashville. I am wondering if this will be my last flight for a long time.
Recently I decided that what I am doing is not worth it. I am needed elsewhere. Actually, I have been “elsewhere”; I am needed at [...]
