As I was driving into the Lijit offices, I was thinking about this years SXSW conference, and how different it would be for me. I was thinking about the posts I had read from friends who were going and had gone before. The difference for me this year will be striking (speaking vs. not-speaking, know...

For the past couple of months, something has been bugging me about the “Boulder Community”. I have been thinking that perhaps it comes from a single person, but thats not it. Or perhaps from certain events, but thats not it either. Perhaps its the economy and the general pall its placed ...

One would be hard-pressed to find someone unaware that the government is currently trying to pass a stimulus bill to help jump start our economy.  However, finding someone fully aware of the specific details outlined in both versions of the bill (i.e. House and Senate versions) might prove mor...

Harper addresses me this morning: "Hey, Mama! Hey, ugly old troll! I need some shoes". Ugly old troll. She is in a fantasy world 95% of her waking life. I just prefer it when she pretends I am her fairy godmother, or Dicken from Secret Garden, or Tiger Lily. Hell, even Captain Hook. She ju...

     As if parents and grandparents don’t already have enough to worry about with the dangerous content flooding the Internet, now the smut peddlers may soon have an ally at the very highest levels of the government. President Barack Obama has chosen  David Ogden  to be the second in comman...

Every day I worked 8-10 hours as an entry level employee at a non-profit. I was filled with passion and verve, but I would get co...

I recently bought a new MacBook Air solely for the reason that it could drive a 30″ monitor. At work, I use a 30″ Dell and at home, I have a 30″ Apple Cinema Screen. When I first plugged my MBAir directly into the Dell, I just couldnt get a resolution above 1280×800. Really an...

The past week has been an interesting one for the dissection of the entrepreneur. Forbes had a great article: Are You A Humpty-Dumpty Entrepreneur, which discussed the difference between a workaholic and an entrepreneur (short answer: workaholics enjoy working; entrepreneurs enjoy doing). Jessica Ma...

I hate the word entrepreneur. I spend a lot of time talking to business owners. Sometimes, they have startups. Sometimes, they have large businesses. Public companies, small businesses, venture backed companies. Old companies; tech companies. New companies; manufacturing companies. (Am I becoming th...
