A quick note for context: This blog isn’t for you. It’s for me. Or at least, that’s how it started off…In 2004 I started using Ranchero Software’s MarsEdit and Movabletype to make fast notes on the stream of new information I was taking in while developing new-media technology strategies..many of the earliest pages are nothing more than a link. These days, it’s usually a link, and a couple of sentences, at least. (I’ve since graduated to a love/hate relationship with Wordpress, and one of these days, I’ll actually get around to styling the site…)

So, Disclaimer: A great blog, marketing campaign, or message is single fairly minded. Consistent. Tightly focused. But, I do that for a living. This is not that. It’s been an outlet for the random things that cross my bow…And committing your voice to a recorded conversation has a way of keeping you off the bandwagon.

Now, I’m semi-habituated, and I’ve learned that the exercise of posting entries to my little notebook is one of the best ways to refine new ideas and practice how to communicate them… Almost as good, is tracking the random tidbits here that index high on Google, like “iPhone stats”, or “Armed drones” or “Doris Salcedo’s 1600 chair installation”…

So, thanks for reading my junk. If there’s something here that interests you, cheers!, all the better.

Most important is that I am an unabashed fan of great creative, new media and the transformative power of technology. My passion lies in fusing art and science to improve how we connect to ideas, the world, and each other… and being a Dad.
