Reminiscing on our 10th wedding anniversary
Today is a milestone for me and my wife. 10 years of marriage and I thought I’d look back at some of the highlights and lessons of the last decade of marriage to my beautiful wife and best friend.

Returning to a 14 year old career
One of the transitions I feel most comfortable about is my switch to a job in marketing for imonomy, an online in-image advertising company.

Have your drone walk your dog
http://vimeo.com/95078536 This is amusing but it also strikes me as a bit of a sad regression. Surely walking the dog benefits the human as well as the dog? If you get your drone to walk the dog, you’re basically abdicating a very human activity which has the benefit of reintegrating the human into the immediate…
