I’ve made a new site for my social media fund raiser - and given it a name. Social Media for Social Change is where you can get all of the information on the who, what, where, when, why, and how of this event.

It’s been twelve days since I’ve brought up the idea of a Social Media Fund Raiser. That time’s been spent trying to figure out things like how many people will come, how long the event should be, and what is going to be served. Oh, and when it will all take place.
I have some answers. [...]

This past weekend, I attended PodCamp Boston 3. This was my first PodCamp (read my guest post on MediaBullseye for a wrap up of “PodCamp Boston - The Newbie Perspective“), so there was a lot to take in.

A couple weeks ago, someone presented the idea of a Tweetup at Radius, a high-end restaurant and lounge in Boston’s Financial District (I run the valet operations there.)

Last night, Ethan and I joined Christopher, my friend and co-conspirator on DesignBoston, on the 43rd floor of the Prudential Tower in Boston, for a bird’s eye view of the July 4th fireworks*.
Once we got up there, we discovered some of Chris’s coworkers were already there. We all joined together to watch the ’splosions [...]

Okay, so it’s technically Saturday, but I haven’t gone to bed yet, and I’ve got love to give, so I’m counting this as a Friday Love List.
It’s a good time to live in Boston right now. It’s late June, the weather is beautiful, and oh, certain basketball teams are WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

If there’s one thing I love, it’s wine. If there’s another, it’s friends. If there’s a third, it’s social media.

Who’s Gary Vee? Gary Vaynerchuck is the host of Wine [...]
