I found this note in my inbox the other day from a colleague in my office. We often chat about current events, politics and sports so I have a pretty good idea of his views. As I’ve grown to distrust the media more, I’ve been consuming much more of my news and politics through colleagues, [...]
You may have noticed that I often sport a guitar string bracelet or two on my right wrist. I don’t wear a watch (aversion to time) so the bracelet sticks out and people often ask me about it. I’ll usually explain (unless I make up a ridiculous 9x exaggerated story) that the bracelet is made [...]
A few months ago I jotted down some notes on some of my start-up fundamentals for a new web venture. It included the concepts of digital crack, core strengths, social media, SEO, cult community, A&O and revenue steams. If you’re wondering what any of these things mean it’s probably easiest to go back to the [...]
That is a question that everybody seems to be asking me these days. I’m sure that most of you have heard about Twitter by now. The “micro-blogging” platform is expanding at a torrid pace and now has over five million worldwide users. Although Twitter has been hot for a few years with the digital early [...]
Courtney came up with that name for me the other day as I was twittering away. I can’t say that I’m head over heels for the service, but I will be twittering from the NCAA tournament in Philly all day long from my phone. If tomorrow is anything compared to the first round of the [...]
Back in 1994, my dad innocently pulled me and Lisa out of school one afternoon and took us to the first round of the NCAA tournament at Nassau Coliseum. We didn’t really know what to expect, but the idea of going to watch basketball games instead of another afternoon of middle school sounded like a [...]
Besides the occasional and delusional St. John’s rant, I rarely write about college hoops anymore. For those YBIML newbies, yapping college baskeball was how I got my start as a digital scribe. Back in the winter of 2002, during my senior year at Michigan, I butchered together a very basic website that I dubbed Littyhoops.com. [...]
Those familiar yet hollow, empty feelings of shame, humiliation and despair crept back into the pit of my stomach like that umpteenth glass of saki as the Johnnies started the second half by scoring just one single point in the first ten minutes. Why oh why do I spend so much of my precious time [...]
I’ve been thinking about starting a new website or digital business with some of my free time. This is something I’m always thinking about. Recently, the itch has been compounded as a few of my friends, and people in my network, have shared some of their digital ideas with me. Like in many industries these [...]
My moral compass is going all haywire as if I was Locke on The Island (nerdy LOST reference) but this site is way too good not to tell you about it. Mp3Panda.com is a Russian operated website that allows you to download high quality music from just about every major recording artist and label in [...]
