One of the things that most of the local people here discuss is its diversity.  Many of the differernt cultures all come together be it tahitian, polynesian, portugese, japanese, chinese or other ethnic backgrounds, they all have their own language, philosophy and look. The same goes for resorts, hotels and other places we have been [...]

I stood on the bow of the catamaran and the wind and salt cleansed my face of stress and renewed my belief that you can truly feel the tension leaving your body. I was quiet except for the sea and the beauty before me.   I cannot begin to describe the surroundings and the feeling, so [...]

I always make fun of drinking from the "social media firehose." People always ask how I can possible follow nearly 8,000 people on Twitter, and read 10,000 RSS feeds a week, and on and on. I have developed the skill over time.  Being here in Hawaii is a lot like drinking from the Paradise Firehose.

Miami Vice, CSI Miami, these are the things that I refer to when someone talks about the location.  I look back to what I have seen on television. Today as I sat on the front steps of a location in Coconut Grove, Florida, (I was told I couldn’t call it Maimi) I had visions of [...]

I have been following the story of Pajamas Media and the closing of their ad network operations as of April 1. This is not earth shattering news as we see the boom days of blog earnings begin to buckle under the economy and crash on the rocks caused by the storm. We have seen other [...]

I am not in charge over at Twitter and perhaps after this post we will know why. I was catching up on reading about news on Techmeme this evening and saw that Twitter was raising more capital. I had the same reaction to this as did Ashkan Karbasfrooshan with his take on the similarities to [...]

The bane of my existence currently is my ever increasing inbox of emails I need to respond to, and I am apparently only worsening the problem as I sign up for more and more social networks.  There is the wild game recipe club, the used furniture network, the parenting pull your hair out network, [...]
