This One Time, I Biked To Omaha

We’re on the verge of a new year, the Mayans were wrong, and hopefully 2013 is full of more employment opportunities than 2012.

The Present

The Future of Parcel Delivery

Anybody who truly, truly knows me knows I really dislike the United States Postal Service. Mostly because I wrote the Postmaster General a long letter in high school on steps he could take to make the aging service more meaningful in our lives and potentially profitable…

The Cover Letter I Wish I Could Send

Hey future employer,

How freaking tired of reading cover letters are you? I’m two sentences into writing one and I’m bored! Let’s just Skype over coffee from different Starbucks or maybe invite me over and we can reenact Chopped. You give…

@Twitter TV

Cable providers are dead; the same way RIM is dead. I think Twitter is positioned to be a driving force behind the content revolution in creation and consumption. Yes, Twitter insists it’s not a media company but they’re wrong. Twitter could be the procurer of big data for media creators whether it’s…

This idea hit me as I was watching the Google Fiber announcement this morning. Whether or not Google realizes it, they’re winding up to uppercut the Dewey model of public school education in the chin.

One of these things is my DVD collection (of which I’ve added nothing new to in at least 3 years). The thing…

Dwolla: Financial Trojan Horse

Since nobody reads my blog, aside from the 140 that read my cover letter yesterday (humble brag), I thought I’d pen something on Dwolla. Why Dwolla? Because their wonderfully kind CEO tweeted back at me last night. Don’t know what Dwolla is, Ashton Kutcher invested in it…
