I realized this morning that MIX is just a few weeks away and by a few I mean less than four. I can’t wait. MIX might be my favorite week of year (sorry Holiday Season) and this looks like its going to be a great year even Joshua Topolsky (Mr. Engadget...
Kaxaml Update
I had a great conversation with Rob Relyea (Mr. XAML) yesterday about the future of Kaxaml and he shared a lot of very useful pointers about how to use some upcoming .NET 4.0 features to make Kaxaml super awesome. Looks like he’s already...
I found out today that my MIX09 worskhop is now officially online. I won’t lie, it’s kind of long. The session is three hours of what I wish I had learned about design when I jumped on the design wagon train. You’ll either want to do this one an...
1. Stickers For those of you who have submitted haikus, it’s finally sticker time. I’ll be mailing them out in about a week. Between now and then, please send me a physical address where I can send the sticker. Also, let me know how many you want...
I just picked up the stickers and they turned out great and they also turned out in abundance. Who knew that 1,000 stickers is really about 5,000 stickers! So please take them from me. Track me down at MIX or submit your haiku! Read More...
It’s that time of year again when many of us are dusting off that old wireless mouse w/ built-in PowerPoint clicker and gearing up for some public speaking. For those of you giving talks, I thought I’d share some of my top tips for a successful presentation...

With MIX quickly approaching, it’s time for the (soon-to-become) annual tradition of producing some Kaxaml swag. Last year I made buttons (the kind you might pin to your backpack). This year, I’m faced with a choice about what to make. Well, since the...
A really interesting way to evaluate the rhetoric and ideas on the minds of our Presidents over the past two or three decades. via ReadWriteWeb.
President Obama (2009) President Bush (2005) President Clinton (1997) President Reagan (1981) Read More...
I’m pretty intimidated by the amount of time I’m going to be wired to a microphone at MIX this year: a total of something like 7 hours (even after you account for breaks). Yikes. So I’m preparing content early. Like I mentioned earlier...
I woke up today and realized that I never got my best albums post posted! I kept waiting, thinking I might discover a last minute fav that would bump somebody else off the list. Well, it’s 2009 now and time to move on.
Truth is that 2008 was not...
…and so far the voting results are kind of dismal. Hmmm. Maybe not everybody appreciates the chance to digitally apply a sweet ’stache to the richest man alive. Or maybe the retro thing doesn’t work for everyone. ...
This is the most excited I’ve been about presenting at MIX in the three (nearly four) years I’ve done it. Don’t get me wrong, MIX is a blast and, in spite of the long nights preceding, I’ve really loved presenting every year...
“If it comes easy, you’re not doing it right.”
Great advice from Malcom Gladwell in this presentation about the process of creative synthesis that results in genius and creativity. He touches on a point that became a bit of revelation for me when...
