Priority inbox is the anti-net neutrality for gmail

August 31, 2010

Tweet Just a few short weeks ago, geeks everywhere were up in arms over Google and Verizon’s discussions on ending net neutrality for wireless networks. A scant few people agreed with their reasoning for assigning important for certain types of network traffic over others. It seemed un-American and wrong. Google isn’t stupid.

Personal Record in Vibrams

August 29, 2010

Tweet There is nothing better than knowing you’re becoming a better runner. Activities become easier, running farther becomes the norm and running fast finally becomes possible. Although I wouldn’t exactly call myself fast, tonight I ran just as fast over seven miles (63 minutes) in Vibram Bikilas than I ever did in regular shoes. And [...]

AZ Book Publishing Association e-reader panel on 8/30

August 29, 2010

Tweet (I’ll be speaking tomorrow night at the Phoenix Airport Sheraton, along with a Nook user and iPad fan, about my e-reader experience) I’ve read a lot of books in my life. In grade school, I was the kid who always read a book under the table, during meals and even during recess (gasp). There [...]

They become less of [...]

August 28, 2010

Tweet Tyler’s writing ranged all over this week from fantasy football to a surprise wedding anniversary party. His visit home led him to talk about his desire to belong in Phoenix. Persona non grata is another random musing, and if you want to see his accidental buzz cut go here.

I’ve got that runnin’ feelin’

August 27, 2010

Tweet Oh how I wish it wasn’t true. Wish I could tell you that my few days off from running last week after a bout with candida allowed me time to rest and recover. Wish I could regale you with stories on the relaxing afternoons, long baths and overall peace of mind and body most [...]

Persona non grata

August 27, 2010

Tweet Being authentic, open and honest all the time is tiring. It’s boring to not be able to make up stories or pass along little fibs, and it’s high time I tried something different. It’s time to create a persona that’s made up of only the good things about me, while simultaneously filtering and, if [...]

For Guys Like Me (the book)

August 26, 2010

Tweet I’ve always wanted to write a book, but I’ve never figured out a topic, had enough time or was able to get fully motivated. I’m 31 years old and I’m writing this book for my dad. It’s a guide to relevant media, the changing world of marketing and my own observations from the blended [...]
