It’s difficult to find old high-school friends on the Web. Many of them don’t have any reason to publish pages with bylines or about themselves. It’s even harder when their names have changed since they left school (i.e. most of my friends from that time). That makes it tough to do a casual “where are [...]

Eventful has been nominated for a Major Award. Okay, so I don’t really know how major it actually is, but I just can’t stand to be beaten by the likes of Facebook. So vote for me! Please?

Topics so far include Rails, Twitter, college, marketing 2.0, online storytelling, [...]

I don’t usually blog about my work, not because it’s boring but because it tends to strike me as advertising. I guess I assume that you couldn’t possibly be as excited about the things I do as I am. (Don’t tell me if I’m right about that.)

(Author’s note: Chris Messina implored us to blog about Mash Pit. I didn’t want to just parrot other excellent posts, so here’s my demented version of the event.)
