Say hi to Meg
Meg and I should have never met.
Meg lives in Vancouver; the farthest west I’ve ever been is Tennessee. She’s a freelance writer; I schlep to work at a pharmaceutical publishing company every day - no chance we’d ever meet at an industry conference or something like that. The likelihood we’d ever be [...]

Earlier today, my friend Matt Knell told his story of witnessing the attacks on the World Trade Center, and what life in New York was like immediately following.
David, aka Limeduck, simply recalled how blue the sky was.
I remember that sky. I remember walking out of the house with my then-wife, thinking how beautiful it was [...]

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.

Social Media Fund Raiser - Where and When!

07.23.08 | Permalink | 10 Comments

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.
