Scott Kveton interviews Me on Identity

April 16, 2008 – 8:48 am

Thanks to Scott Kveton, of Vidoop, who stopped me at BarCampAustinIII, to talk about OpenID and other identity related matters.
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about identity online (although get me going with a few beer offline!). I think the only other recent discussions I’ve had around identity is on the Citizen Garden [...]

Please Stop Crowdsourcing Me

December 21, 2007 – 5:37 pm

No, seriously. Stop it. I’m tired.
I came and I thought, hey, this is kind of neat-o and it empowered me at first. I thought, “Awesome! They want my opinion! They listen!” and I offered it and the feedback was, “Great idea!” and I watched as you implemented it, then benefitted from it and I [...]

Dear Head, meet Heart…and vice versa

December 17, 2007 – 9:32 pm

…I think the two of you will really get along!

What I’ve observed over and over is the following disconnected conversations:
H: They aren’t legally obligated.
S: Doesn’t matter, it’s just not right.
H: Of course it matters, they aren’t legally obligated, so why should they?
S: They should because it is the right thing to do.
H: So? They would [...]

Why the World Needs Heroes and Where They Are

December 4, 2007 – 9:50 pm

…or maybe it should be why I need heroes…
I’m not talking about the television series, although I do heart it very much. But I was watching the finale and waxing to myself why I do love it so much and came up with a really good reason: Hope.
I mean, we aren’t living in times of [...]

Risk, Decisions and Consequences

December 1, 2007 – 4:21 pm

As a teenager, I continuously made really bad short term decisions that ended up hurting me in the long term. Often I would tell a lie, that would need to be compounded by an additional lie, which would end up being multiply compounded by a web of lies in order to get away with something [...]

My Seriously Serendipitous Life

November 29, 2007 – 5:34 pm

So, we’ve talked alot about Accelerating Serendipity and how many of the things we do or participate in (twitter, dopplr, flickr, coworking, barcamp, etc) is all about creating more opportunities for everyday magic to happen (that stuff you couldn’t have planned in a zillion years, but is exactly what needs to happen to get to [...]

A Company is the Sum of its People

November 27, 2007 – 2:38 pm

Thanks so much to my friend, Jay Fichialos, now on Ma.gnolia and sending me awesome links like this one that say things like:

Dear World of Marketing…

November 8, 2007 – 9:31 pm

You probably don’t know who I am, but I am one of your customers (and a marketer as well, but that’s beside the point, I’m a customer first). I am writing you in regards to the fact that you are missing every opportunity possible to snag my business and, instead, seem to be working really [...]
