When I first started writing, I admitted that I tend to be somewhat of a technology snob. It seems that since that time, I’ve actually become known as much for being a “techy” as I am as an advisor. Ideally, it would be nice to be known for what pays the bills, but we’ll get there one… [Continue Reading]
Goals for 2011
January 1, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Partially inspired by remembering my friend John Sterrett’s post this time last year, I’ve decided to “write down” a few things I plan to accomplish in 2011. As you’ll see on Monday, I’m not a fan of New Years Resolutions. Mainly because, if you decide to do something, why wait until a random date to… [Continue Reading]
Hamlet’s Blackberry
December 18, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
As I’ve said before, I tend to be kind of a technology snob. Not sure why, but it’s just who I am. Earlier this summer, a friend who purposely avoids technology, sent me a link to an NPR story on the book “Hamlet’s Blackberry”. It got me intrigued enough to buy the book through my Kindle App… [Continue Reading]
Go Steelers!
December 12, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
After seeing the Troy Polamalu “Fat Head” commercial, my daughter has been slightly obsessed with him. I’m not sure it if it’s the hair, or if it’s just fun to say his name, but whatever it is, she’s shown a new found “interest” in the Steelers. During today’s game against the Bengals, she heard the… [Continue Reading]
BlogWorld 2010 – Day One
October 19, 2010 by · 3 Comments
I just returned home from spending the past four days in Las Vegas, NV for this years edition of BlogWorld Expo. Along with nearly 5,000 other bloggers I attended multiple keynote presentations, and 13 individual sessions. I feel as if each session deserves it’s own post, but I’ll do my best to hit the highlights… [Continue Reading]
Pittsburgh Penguins open Consol Energy Center
October 9, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
This past week, I attended the first two games held at the Pittsburgh Penguins new barn, the Consol Energy Center. I’ve been going to games at the Civic Arena since my Dad started taking me when I was in junior high. Although I had no problem with the Civic Arena, I was looking forward to… [Continue Reading]
2010 Pittsburgh Great Race 10k
October 1, 2010 by · 2 Comments
After running my first 5k in several years, I signed up for the 33rd running of the Pittsburgh Great Race 10k. It seemed fairly intimidating when I signed up. Not because of the distance, but based on the organizers capping the entries at 14,000. I ran the Debbie Green 5k earlier in the summer mainly… [Continue Reading]
Bluetooth stereo headphones for running
September 25, 2010 by · 3 Comments
When I started running again this spring I incorporated my iPhone in just about every way possible. I used one of the many Couch to 5k apps to get back into shape injury free, and almost always had either the iPod or one of the radio apps playing outside or on the treadmill. Since then,… [Continue Reading]
Podcamp Pittsburgh round 2 – #PCPGH5
September 18, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Last year was my first Podcamp Pittsburgh experience, and this year was round 2. It’s the fifth time for Podcamp Pittsburgh, and I was pleased to make it back again this year. In 2009, I was knew to most things “new media” and was able to use what I learned at Podcamp Pittsburgh 4 personally… [Continue Reading]
Couch to OVConnect 5k
May 22, 2010 by · 10 Comments
Not too long ago I raced road bikes, and was fairly competitive. Somewhere along the line I didn’t make the time to stay in good enough shape to hang with the local Wednesday night ride, and not long after didn’t ride much at all. I stayed in decent shape by going to the gym most… [Continue Reading]
