Mini Hi Fi: The Chase

Anyone who hung out with me in the last couple months has probably heard me rant and roll about my new stereo. It is awesome. I can’t shut up about it. I am addicted.
It all started a couple years ago when the SI Tripath Amp emerged on the market. It was a little amp [...]

I use twitter quite a bit. I like to post to twitter in the most unobtrusive way possible. I don’t like to interupt my workflow to post a quick thought or update. When they used to have their Jabber bot running – it was easy for me to just type in my update and get [...]

Japan Tech Friends

A couple weeks ago, I was in japan for some family events. It was a great trip. Hanging out with Hiromi’s family and friends was awesome. Since we were going to be spending some free time in Tokyo, i decided to reach out to the Tokyo tech community and meet some people.  I emailed my [...]

oh yea. i have a blog

Apparently for the last month or two, I totally forgot that i have a blog. Instead of blogging, i have been hanging out with Hiromi, using twitter,traveling, programming and building things. I didn’t have time to include blogging into that mix.
I have a theory, that when my twitter usage goes up, my blogging goes down [...]

Barack Obama seems to have won the democratic nomination. After all the time and work we all put into his campaign, I am VERY happy to hear this news.
I am more happy that Hilary Clinton didn’t win. She was really hurting my insides me with all the negative campaigning. I did not like how attacky [...]

On Thursday the 29th, the TechCocktail Conference is happening at Layola. You should go, and while you are there, you should come check out Scottv and my talk on technology agnosticism. It should be delightful. For those of you that know me – the time slot is hilarious: 9:30 in the morning. Wth. I rarely [...]

The theme for this spring is travel

Man. It has been a long time since I really felt like blogging. Blogging is weird sometimes. I finds myself being VERY busy and not having the time nor energy to blog thoroughly, so i end up forfeiting an entry, when i could have easily whipped up a couple paragraphs describing whats going on. I [...]

The other weekend, Charlie and I, flew to the University of Arizona to speak at their Thinking Forward Leadership and Innovation in Marketing Conference. It was a cool experience. The people who were involved with the Conference are rather intelligent and they really blew my mind in regards to their thoughts on Threadless/social media/Internet communities. [...]

Those parties were awesome!

I am finally recovered from my flash travel/party tour. Being shuttled around the country going to parties is a rough life – let me tell you. It was awesome. I met some great people and saw some really cool stuff. It was really cool how much overlap occurred between the boulder crowd and SXSW.
Startup people [...]

I will be in Colorado tomorrow for Tech Cocktail Boulder. It will be awesome to be a part of this event in Boulder. I will be officially representing skinnyCorp – so come get some swag and hang out! For those that have never been to a Tech Cocktail, it is a meet up style event [...]
