I usually put a bit more thought and introspection into these, but a rough head cold has me paying homage to the Nyquil deities. As such, I will simply submit my list of highlights for 2009. Started training to run in 5K races as part of a New Year’s resolution Started attending the Firefly Logic [...]

I am sitting in Big Bang Nashville as we all wrap up BarCamp Nashville 2009. It was a great experience to work on the marketing and production side of an event as cool as this one. It makes it that much more fulfilling when the event goes as well as it did. I had two [...]

The unofficial end of summer is only a week or so away, with Metro Nashville-Davidson county public schools going back in session on August 14. I can remember always being excited at the prospect of a new year. New stuff, new classes, new faces. I really enjoyed the fall semester in college, with a packed [...]

I signed into Adium yesterday for what has to be the first time in months. For whatever reason, I have not had a reason to use the multi-platform chat client in quite some time, opting instead for quick e-mails, Facebook posts or Twitter to communicate with friends. In college, not using an instant messenger in [...]

The last scheduled sessions of PodCamp Nashville should be wrapping up soon. I missed the opportunity to write about the event while there, but that is what happens when you you actually listen to the presenters instead of staring at my phone (as I usually do). It was a great event and an overall good [...]

This is not so much a review for Shazam, even though I personally believe that it is the best free application on my iPhone. Instead, it is about a way forward for radio and the music industry as a whole. The application can tag almost any music it records with the accurate song title and [...]

I had a conference call earlier this morning for a volunteer group. During the call, one of the participants remarked that the college students he encounters are unable to write a professional letter. Now, I will say that most of those that I come into contact with are very articulate and well polished young men [...]

Samantha and I (along with just about anyone else I can drag along) will be attending PodCamp Nashville 2009 at the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 7. I was a little skeptical of the event when it rolled through town last year, mostly because it [...]

Samantha and I plan to attend the second annual PodCamp Nashville event next month on 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday, March 7 at Vanderbilt’s Owen School of Management. It is produced by the same crowd that put together last fall’s BarCamp Nashville. While the doldrums of my mid-twenties often have me asking how my [...]

Tonight my wife and I went to a “Geek Social” mixer event hosted by Firefly Logic, a Nashville-based technology company. I would normally have taken a photo, but this venue (Sam’s Sports Bar in Hillsboro Village) has an ultra-secret VIP room for occasions such as this, and I would hate to spoil the fun of [...]
