Friday, March 16th, 2007

I’m still recovering from an amazing week at SXSW
(more on that later), but I’m totally stoked that my proposed session on Drupal Installation Profiles made it on the Open Source CMS Summit schedule. I wish I’d known a little earlier, but I’m jumping in head first over the next week to learn the ins-and-outs.

The Detroit alternative weekly, the Metro Times named Arbor Vitae, my home of three years, as a Motor City Crib in their “Motor City Rides and Cribs” series.

Inbox: Zero

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Phew. I’d been sitting on email from September. I finally got back through my personal mail inbox, replied to outstanding messages, moved some tasks over into my current GTD tool and cleared the rest. If you have been expecting to hear from me but haven’t, now would be a good time to […]

Autumn in New York / Autumn in Detroit

Mob scene

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

The mass of trailers, vans and cables blocking the street this morning on my way into the office has become familiar: film shooting. As I walked by a trailer with “Meadow,” “A.J.,” and “Janice” on the doors, I realized I was walking through a Sopranos shoot. As I crossed the street, I caught […]

Flee to the Woodlands!

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Lizz, Honey and I are joining Chris and Cheryl for a last minute log cabin retreat in the woods up state. No TV. No Internet. I’ve got a pile of books, a box full of food and kitchen supplies. Chris & Cheryl have crates of leftover booze from their housewarming party. […]

Video: Herald Square Dancers

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Lizz and I had a busy Saturday. We went to the end of the line on the D, to Coney Island, to see the Mermaid Parade. Then we went to the end of the N to get some Greek food in Astoria. In between, we stopped to watch these dancers at the […]
