“It's time to stop hiding behind brands, corporate policies or the way things used to be. Evolve. Get better. Let's learn from each other. It's called the Collaboration Revolution. Welcome to the Relationship Age.” - Tyler Hurst

The gang beat down (what they told me)

Read these first: What I remember. How it started. The last thing I remember is seeing my brother hauling ass up the hill. After the first volley of punches, I was down. Kevin, who quickly hurried out of the driver's side, said he never saw them hit me, but he saw the ...

Guys have (weight) issues too

Guys have always been taught that weight seldom matters. Be rich, be powerful, be successful and women will flock to you. But it matters. To some of us, it matters more than others. To begin: I've been bulimic. I've been diagnosed bipolar, ADHD and clinically depressed. I've weighed as much as 245lbs ...

The gang beat down (how it started)

For those just jumping in, read part one first. Okay, I was drunk. Not falling over drunk, but I was having a good time. The party was two hours old, the fifth I had brought had been consumed and now I was staggering around on my hurt right leg, trying to ...

The gang beat down (what I remember)

You can't avoid a punch you don't see. You can't block a punch if you can't move. I didn't feel the first one. Nor the second. Nor did I feel the punch that knocked me out and onto the street. Never felt the ensuing kicks. The next I remember is being ...

Why I don’t use Foursquare, Gowalla or any other location-based services (anymore)

The concept behind location-based services like Foursquare and Gowalla is fantastic. Check in using GPS, see who you know (or who you don't) is around and maybe even earn a free drink or discounted meal. It's like playing a massive game of bingo and it's fun. For a while. (Now that ...

What can 100 people do with their love of art?

Art is a gift. It changes the giver AND the recipient. But art, like a a true straight line, doesn't actually EXIST. All we can see is the physical representation of the artist's true vision of the world. And for this, we should all be grateful. I've purchased ONE piece of art ...

What revolution?

So you say you want a revolution...yet you have no idea what the word means. According to Scott Dadich, the creative director of Wired, "there's a revolution in the way ppl consume journalism." WHAT? Are readers demanding that journalism change? Do you remember asking? The way we consume media is EVOLVING and ...

Make me proud

My dad is a 61-year-old safety trainer and salesman. He's owned his own business, helped raise three kids and has been in the same house since 1981. He's the hardest-working person I know, is never late and hasn't ever given up in the 30 years I've been alive. This past August, ...

Going bare

We wear expensive shoes because we're told they protect our feet. We wear certain styles of clothing because we're told we'll be accepted if we do. We act a certain way in order to fit in. All of these act as barriers to what's really there. Similar to force-feedback on any ...
