Thanks to everyone that got in touch with me after the last post, your concern is truly appreciated. I had written that at a point where I was tired and waiting for things to move. This is why I know … Continue reading

For me, this is a sad post to write, but the good news is that if I ever hit the publish button, then I am probably enjoying an adult beverage and watching the sunset with a smile on my face. … Continue reading

Some random stuff today that I wanted to put out on my first day back. I completed our first Griswold-style road vacation, logging 2,000 miles in less than 2 weeks driving from Boston to Torch Lake, Michigan. Aside from some … Continue reading

40 Things I have picked up along my voyage: My first memory is Look Park in Northampton. Not much of a lesson, but it was the day I was “switched onâ€. Read – My parents got me into reading. At … Continue reading

Bill Green mentioned The3six5 project during the Beancast around December and I signed on. The idea is that 365 authors do a short diary entry about their day. If you want to read about my day yesterday, or get a … Continue reading

This week I wanted to post an interview I did earlier in the year with Simon Sinek, he was recently featured on the TED channel in iTunes, and this interview goes a bit deeper: Also, thanks to everyone that supported … Continue reading
Do You Know Anyone Serving in Iraq or Afghanistan?

On Sunday I will be running the Run to Home Base, a 9 km road race that will finish at Home Plate in Fenway Park. As part of this race I raised $1,000 for a fund run by the Red … Continue reading

This is pretty much what our home was like when my brother and I were teenagers. It’s at about a 3 Stooges level, so I found it quite amusing.
Headphone Update – Getting Better Sound Out of the iPod
May 2nd, 2010 |

Long-time readers of this blog are well aware of my addiction to audio equipment (and in fact, my post talking about Bose vs. Shure vs. Sony still gets a ton of traffic). For some reason it’s always the product marketing … Continue reading
Tough Week
April 30th, 2010 |
No Comments
Normally on Sunday night I review my calendar for the week to see what’s coming up. Unfortunately things have been kind of crazy here and so I was not completely prepared on Monday morning for a book signing party that evening (click through for a rare photo of me with my arch enemy Mike taken [...]
The Boston Marathon – On Motivation
April 19th, 2010 |
No Comments
Patriot’s Day is a special day here with the running of the Boston Marathon. I run the Falmouth Road Race every summer because it’s as close to the thrill of running the marathon as you can get, at only about a quarter of the mileage (a huge difference in hours of training).
Thousands of runners line up [...]
Kicking Ass at The Grocery Store
April 13th, 2010 |
No Comments
And yet another indicator that I have become soft and weak, I actually consider my grocery buying routine worth blogging about. On the other hand the Food Marketing Institute shows 2008 purchases at supermarkets over half a trillion dollars, so maybe this is a big deal.
The supermarket is an interesting indicator of the economy, and [...]
First Quarter 2010 Review

No Comments
With the first quarter in the books it’s time to look back on the results.
Family is going very well, there were a lot of things to get in order with my son, and most of it has been fairly straightforward. I’ve also continued duties as the family IT department and everyone can still access the [...]
April Fool’s

There were some interesting pranks this year, at the top of my list was the rumor that In n’ Out Burger was coming to the East Coast.
My personal favorite was this video showing some new features in Photoshop CS4. I totally bought this, hook, line and sinker.
Genius is Genius
March 30th, 2010 |
No Comments
I had resisted installing the Genius function in iTunes since it had first come out. The idea of sending all my metadata over to Cupertino seemed to be a lot more for their benefit than mine (a mountain of business intelligence – like the fact that I buy most of my mp3s from Amazon now).
Last [...]

On May 23rd at 8am I will be running a 9k road race. The last big race I ran was Falmouth back in the summer, and I was looking for an event to begin this year’s warm weather with. My co-worker Adam mentioned that he was in for the Run To Home Base, a race [...]
Why Chili is So Important
February 13th, 2010 |
No Comments
I was a bit surprised to realize that in the 3 years I have been writing here, I have never written about Chili. Then I thought “Well, that’s not a huge surprise, considering that Chili has absolutely nothing to do with Marketing”. If you are not into cooking or chili, this would be a good [...]
Finally
January 25th, 2010 |
No Comments
Things have been a bit slow here at the blog, that’s because all the work lately has been behind the scenes. Finally the time has come, a lot of stuff is shipping this week. In fact all 3 of the major projects from the past 3 months have all come down to Tuesday.
At work we [...]
Bug Fix – Do You Hate Partial Feeds?
January 17th, 2010 |
No Comments
I hate partial feeds – blogs that only show the first paragraph of the post, forcing you to click through for a page view. When I started this blog I inadvertently left partial feeds enabled, and then removed all the links. If you are still seeing a partial feed, please delete the old subscription and [...]
Important Stuff – sort of
January 9th, 2010 |

This is kind of a spring cleaning post – stuff that I have on my list to write about (which forces me to think about), but after review is cool but for whatever reason there’s not much to say beyond “check this out”.
Chrome OS – Google’s OS, the fact that you would log into any [...]
