I’m heading out for the first run in 10 days since I hurt my back playing tennis.  It’s a beautiful day here in Keystone and I’m looking forward to enjoying the mountains for a while.

I heard the line “it’s all about the faces” from someone in the past few weeks.  The line stuck with me and I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.  Last night I tried an experiment and changed my twitter avatar to a graphic done by Anthony Dimitre, a really talented local designer.  While there […]

A few weeks ago I wrote a post titled The Maturing of the Implicit Web.  In it I talked about new releases from AdaptiveBlue and OneRiot.  As I sit here in my hotel room in Seattle waiting for TA McCann (CEO of Gist) to show up for our pre-board meeting run, I’m pondering how much […]
