DevHouse Talk and ShowClix Launch Party Tonight

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

This sort of last-minute announcement is probably better suited for Twitter, but I still have 20 more days until my annual twitter post on the 30th. So hopefully this short blog post will be sufficient to get the masses all atwitter. At 7:30 PM, I'll be giving a short talk at ...

Dancetown Talks at ITPittsburgh Connector and Dorkbot

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Tonight, I'll be at ITPittsburgh's first Connector event at the Altar Bar at 6 PM, talking about Dancetown. I've enjoyed speaking there before as panelist for Jessica Lee's Entrepreneurial Thursdays. It's a nice venue in a fun location, so please stop by (and RSVP if you can). Next week, I'll be ...

Ain’t No Party Like A MyHome2.0 Block Party

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

So last Saturday, despite the bitter cold, I dropped by a MyHome2.0 Block Party that Jim and Lloyd invited me to. Above is a roughly edited video of the event (uploaded using YouTube's new Multi-Video Uploader, hooray for the increase from 100 mb to 1 gig!) and you can find ...

Happy Birthday Pittsburgh Bloggers and Developers!

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Last night I went to two very well-attended geeky events celebrating simultaneous momentous occasions. Yesterday was Pittsburgh Bloggers' third birthday and the birth of DevHouse Pittsburgh. While our celebratory cake was not quite as geeky as the one pictured above, the room was packed and we even had some new faces ...

Legal Strategies for Small Businesses Seminar

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Hope everyone had a fun and spooky Halloween. Speaking of scary things, let's talk about how many new businesses and startups operate without qualified legal council or advice (smooth segue, right?). It's been on my mind recently since attending Whitney Hoffman's excellent "Legal and Logistical Advice for your Startup" session at ...

Post PodCamp Boston Thanks

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Well I've returned from PodCamp Boston refreshed and energized by the discussions there. A big thanks to Chris Brogan and Chris Penn for organizing another great PodCamp. And additional thanks to Andrea Mercado, Whitney Hoffman, Jeff Pulver, C.C. Chapman, Aaron Brazell, Andy Stanberry, Michael Bailey, and all the other cool ...

PodCamp Boston and other updates

Friday, October 26th, 2007

So I've been neglecting this blog lately, but since I'm currently killing time in the Pittsburgh airport on route to PodCamp Boston, I figured this would be an appropriate time to get caught up. In recent news, I've been tricked into joining another local organization's board, so I'm now the Technical ...

World Pinball Championships in Pittsburgh

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

I bet most of you don't know that Pittsburgh now regularly hosts the World Pinball Championships. Even though the organizers have been running it locally for almost a decade now (after relocating it from New York and Las Vegas), it doesn't receive much attention or press, which is a shame. ...

Saturday, October 6th, 2007
