On most autumn Sundays, you can find me on my couch in my own little fantasy world. More specifically, I’m in my own little fantasy football world. I have one eye watching football on television but the rest of me is frantically switching between tabs on my web browser following multiple games on CBSSports.com Gamecenter. [...]
This week I had one of those geeky internet “A HA” moments when I actually believe that I can see into the future of digital media. As I said, geeky…but let me explain. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about hulu.com and how it is fast becoming one of my favorite websites. [...]
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 Delpino [...]
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). Lately, I’ve [...]
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 first [...]
I’m traveling to Tampa this weekend for a family sports vacation or something of the sort. On Friday, we’re going to the first round of the NCAA tournament. For those of you who have never experienced an opening day at the tourney it is quite the trip. By the middle of the third game of [...]
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to Facebook. I just like to use the site to better understand the future of the Internet. At least that is what I say to myself. I even wrote this thoughtful post evaluating the service a few months back. The other day my friend Brett signed up for Facebook after [...]
YouTube never ceases to amaze me. The other day I came across the reporting of Elie Seckbach, the “embedded NBA correspondent”. I have no idea how this mench has such great access to NBA players but he does. This blog post interview of Elie helps explain his story. I certainly give him credit for marketing [...]
This week I attended the Sports Media & Technology conference presented by The Sports Business Journal and the Fantasy Sports Association. The conference is one of the few events in the sports industry where the spotlight is supposedly on digital sports media. While the conference certainly focused on leveraging new technologies and distribution platforms to [...]
I recently attended two separate yet similar presentations about Glaceau Vitamin Water given by their SVP of Marketing, Rohan Oza. The presentation was super impressive in both delivery and content. I was especially intrigued, as both a marketer and a sport fan, by how Vitaminwater has been able to build authentic relationships with its athlete [...]
