2009, you sucked! Good riddance to you! That was a horrible year that I just get sick thinking about. As it pertains business matters, it all started in late 2008, the second half of September to be precise, when the economy tanked. The entire country panicked, and the global economy didn’t respond any better. It [...]
Today is a special day for CitySquares. It was four years ago today that Bob and I launched the CitySquares.com website. We launched it with only 7 neighborhoods: Porter, Davis, Harvard, Central, Kendall, Union, and Inman. We actually held a launch party in Davis Square, invited local businesses, residents, artists, musicians and others to come [...]
Finally, someone is calling attention to those angel investor groups who charge entrepreneurs unfair amounts of money to pitch to them, and it’s not someone with a small microphone or with no following. Jason Calacanis has announced a “jihad”, as it seems, and is stirring things up. This topic is not a new one for many [...]
There’s been a bit of buzz in entrepreneurial communities about a recently released study released from The Kauffman Foundation titled, “The Anatomy of an Entrepreneur.” It’s available here. It’s worth the read. Entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes will identify with some of the statistics, and find some quite surprising. It’s a decent report from [...]
Ah, decisions decisions. They never end in life, unless you just decide to spend your life as a lump on a log. But even then you still have to make decisions, starting with “I’m going to be a lump on a log.” If, however, you’ve chosen a life beyond lumping on a log, your life [...]
No, seriously. I can honestly say that I’m a happier human being because of my MacBook Pro. My entire life I’ve been very into art, music, and especially the digital forms of those things. So I guess in some respects I’ve always been somewhat of a closet artist, but hadn’t really found my medium yet. [...]
I’m posting this blog entry in two ways – video and the usual text blog entry. I thought I’d try this out and see how it goes. Please let me know your thoughts on all this, I’d love to hear from ya. Video is below, followed by the text.
No doubt life is full of challenges, [...]
My friend Sooz tagged me in a little Interweb game called Sixth Photo Meme. Basically, Sooz went to her Flickr account, to her 6th page of pictures, and to the 6th picture on that page and then tagged me in the picture. Now although I’m not actually in the picture isn’t the point – the [...]
Next week myself and Jason (account executive from CitySquares) are off to Santa Clara, CA for The Kelsey Group’s annual superbowl of all things local – ILM:08. This is a fantastic event that I’ve had the pleasure of attending in the past. The panels are excellents, the keynotes as well, but what I really like [...]
I believe that this local search thing is quite early, and to keep up with the Jones’ I’ve started to refer to it as Local 1.0. Hear me out here, because I’m diving deep.
Web 1.0 was a passive web, about adoption and about moving to an interconnected digital medium, and Web 2.0 is very much [...]
So now that I’m a proud, card-carrying Mac dude, although a little embarrassed that it took me this long to see the light, it was inevitable that I was going to get the iPhone 3G. Last year when the first generation iPhone came out I was using a Blackberry Pearl, which I absolutely loved after [...]
I’m a fan of social media, I am, but it’s noise. Like too much time in the subway, or at the airport, it’s just loud and mostly unpleasant noise. Yet somehow many of us us can’t help but get lured into some of it, like a drunk at a bar fight (I know, odd parallel [...]
