We’ve recently hit a few bumps in the road at Sportsvite and for the first time I can see a path to failure as easily I can see success. Then last week I was in the audience at the NY Tech Meetup. The most successful startups in NYC were presenting their companies and [...]
I’ve been enjoying Hulu lately and it’s fast becoming one of my favorite ways to watch movies and television shows. This weekend I watched 28 Days Later (good but not as good as 28 Weeks Later) and I’ve been plowing through the first season of Arrested Development (genious). I could even get my Vinny [...]
One of the reasons that I first started to blog was to share all the amazing stuff I encounter on the world wide web. I’ve kind of strayed a bit from that goal in my unintentional quest to be some kind of a little guy’s Mitch Albom (part sports, part life, all happiness). [...]
I enjoy using this blog as a forum to facilitate conversations with friends and anybody else who ventures on over to YBIML. Topics are often diverse and varied depending on what is on my mind or what I think you might want to read about. I thought it might be interesting to share [...]
My good buddy works at one of the prominent law firms in New York. He’s been working on an interesting asylum case as part of his pro bono work. I’ve been bugging him for awhile to write about it because it’s so interesting. The case was finally resolved yesterday and he sent [...]

A natural extension of my gig is actually going out and playing sports. In fact, a passion for sports might as well be a job requirement to work at Sportsvite. These days, I’m playing on three softball teams and I’m also in a Tuesday night wiffle ball league. I feel like [...]
Throughout my quarter life I have often asked myself this question. It’s important to have dreams and lofty goals and I’ve always tried to set my expectations high. As my nanny has often said, “Brian, it’s your America”.
In my youth I wanted to grow up to be a pro baseball player. [...]
I still remember trying to connect my new Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop in my dorm room the first week of college (all the way back in ‘99 - yikes) and having the nerdy dude on my floor help me figure out how to connect the Ethernet cable to the dongle to the computer. The [...]
I’ve had recent conversations with some of my friends who have expressed both their eagerness and frustration to advance their careers.
