lala for Music
Wow! It’s been a while and I apologize. I’ve been keeping busy with Cognition Media (which is finally getting off the ground), but am back on track here. Today starts the first in a series of posts I’ll be writing to help with tech oriented gifts for the 2009 holiday season. Up first is a service I’ve been using for…
Safe Social Media: Your Blog
For the final installment of the Safe Social Media Series, I’m going to talk about our blogs. As you can tell, my blog is an amalgamation of everything I post/share on the Internet.

Best That’s What She Said
A few weeks ago my friend Mary came to me with an idea for a new website; one in the same breadth as FML and Texts from Last Night, but for “That’s What She Said” jokes. A couple weeks and some quick coding later and I we give you Best That’s What She Said!, a place where you can share…
