Wrapping it up …
Been meaning to post this for a few weeks now, but … eight months ago, Mitch Free over at MFG.com asked me to come in and help him re-organize his technology team. I joined as a contractor and served in a leadership capacity as we ramped up *many* new hires and evolved the software development …
From Elvis to Brain Damage
I’ve always been a lover of music, of most kinds, really. I grew up listening to mostly 50s and 60s music, compliments of my parents. Can you say, Elvis Presley, boys and girls? Kind of “meh”, then, but as you get older you become more fond of that type of thing, I guess. Of course, …
End of My Sabbatical
*yawn* *stretch* Okay, I’ve declared an end to my self-imposed sabbatical from the Atlanta tech/startup scene. I needed the break, no doubt – but I can’t lie – I really missed it. Sooooo … expect to see more of me out and about, whether you like it or not :) I’ll be helping out again …
MFG.com: My New Adventure
I quietly announced my new adventure via Twitter shortly thereafter, but thought I would drop a post here to dive in a bit deeper on it – especially since I’ve been procrastinating a bit on this, and it has been 3 months already! As a more “official” announcement (I suppose), I have joined the MFG.com …
Movin’ on …
The rumor mill in the Atlanta technology community has been working overtime. I think there were people who knew I was going to do this before I did. Well, here is the official announcement, I guess. After three years of blood, sweat, and tears at StarPound, I’ve decided that it’s time to move on. We …
WikiLeaks: Epic Fail
I normally don’t talk about politics or current events on this blog, or anywhere else for that matter. But today, I am making an exception, and I’d like to offer my views on the whole WikiLeaks saga. I have no idea why. I agree, in principle, with Matt Ingram’s view that new media entities should …
Mission Accomplished!
I will try to do a more detailed, thoughtful post on this subject as soon as I can, but I wanted to at least provide a quick update for everyone on the result of the Atlanta startup community’s efforts to help the Roberts’ family. Thanks to participation from all of you, we were able to …
Passing the Torch
Time is a funny thing. When you are young, you have seemingly boundless amounts of it. You wake up very day, full of zeal, and passionately chase your whim du jour. Then, one day you wake up, and you realize that time has become a commodity, with a value all its own, and the …
Fundraiser for the Roberts’ Family
My best friend Mike Blake, and his awesome band, HarveyNation, are helping us with our cause. They are turning their upcoming gig into a fundraising event for the Roberts’ family. If you are in Atlanta, and want to have a great time while helping out a family in need, here is the info: Tree Pub …
Sneak Preview of StyroFone
I’ve been dropping hints about our latest project (StyroFone) for the past few months. This week I had the chance to speak at ClueCon 2010 in Chicago to show it off a bit. We got a great response, both during and after the event, so I thought I would take a few minutes to post …
