Does this sound familiar?… No matter how well you plan your day, the day seems to get away from you and at the end of it you never seem to finish all of the tasks you anticipated finishing? This is the story of my life! It feels out of control. Thankfully there’s a way out […]

What’s it like to appear live on the news for a full three minutes in front of an estimated 1.2 million viewers? My daughter Chloe could tell you! On February 25th she presented a science experiment live on 9News, Denver’s local NBC affiliate KUSA, with science guy Steve Spangler. I shot this behind-the-scenes footage at […]

Last night I went to a free screening at Sundance Cinemas for “Big Ideas for a Small Planet,” a new series on the Sundance Channel (and also available via iTunes). They treated us all to free popcorn and drinks, and they brought in some folks for a Q&A afterwards who were involved in sustainable interior […]

I’d like to make up for lost time by writing a series of posts that will cover many of the topics I’ve been addressing on places like CNet: Searchlight, Business Blog […]

On January 1st on the MarketingProfs’ Daily Fix where I am a contributing blogger, I proclaimed my New Year’s Resolution to the world — which was to implement an amazing system for unprecedented gains in productivity and organization that I had discovered. That system — called GTD by its followers — is based on the […]

I’m not usually one for propagating memes (a meme is a “copy me” instruction that is backed up by threats and/or promises), but this one spreading amongst the SEO bloggers is kinda fun, so here goes… I wrote a BBS (bulletin board system) from scratch in BASIC when I was 13. I then operated that […]

Ok, I admit it. I haven’t been walking my own talk. I say how important it is to comment on others’ blogs, that a blogger should spend as much time commenting on others’ blogs as posting on their own blog. You might have read my (hopefully compelling) case for this here or here. Yet, ashamedly, […]
