a blog on tomorrow’s impact on today.

blogging can be hard work.

I love having a blog. It’s great to have an outlet for stray thoughts that you want to share. For those deep conversations that you want to have with someone, but you’re not sure who, so you just kind of post it and see who’ll respond. It’s great for staying in touch– it’s amazing how […]

facebook & myspace.

I graduated a tad bit too early for social networking. Facebook wasn’t a twinkle in Zuck’s eye when I was in college, and not even Friendster was really running around. But being a tech-hanger-on I joined Friendster probably in 03/04. Then MySpace. And then, once I found my rutgers alumni email password, Facebook.

Through both personal experience and witness, I saw that when in a […]

europe!

So I’ve seen Europe. Or 4 amazing cities in Europe anyway: Berlin, Barcelona, Rome, and Paris. And they were, in a word…amazing!
Part of the reason I wanted to take the trip was a little known fact. While I was traversing the continent of Europe, almost exactly a year ago, I was filming The Apprentice. I […]

I don’t watch a lot of TV. Like at all. With the exception […]
