As I sit here watching the Opening Ceremonies of the 29th Summer Olympics, I am in awe. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time, effort and thought went into coordinating not only the performances, but also the men, women and children (15,000 of them) executing those performances. In the weeks leading up to […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard something about Facebook’s new redesign. The really cool thing? For several weeks now, they’ve let users choose to toggle between the “new” Facebook and the “old” Facebook. BRILLIANT. Not only are they getting crucial feedback and working out any bugs, they are slowly easing users into […]
Tonight, I asked the twitterverse, “Do you settle because you want it now, or do you wait for perfect?” The answers I got back ranged the gamut from “waiting = not living life to the fullest” to “nothing is perfect, settle now” to “wait for perfection.” First, the twitterverse is right, nothing is perfect. But […]
I’m still thinking about Nike’s announcement to let their sponsored swimmers wear Speedo LZR suits. I have to say, even though I’m not a fan of Nike, I’m impressed by their decision and a few others: – Nike gets the idea of the $100,000 salt and pepper shaker.

No matter how good of an idea you think it may be, below are some of the things you should NOT do while drunk: – Call, text, IM or contact someone of the opposite sex. Trust me, if it’s that important/cool it can wait til the morning when you’re sober – Same deal with emailing, […]
Thanks to someone for sending me the latest swimming news. I just don’t know about this new turn of events. Here’s the thing: I swam for a Nike sponsored D1 college. All our equipment was Nike. I hated it. Compared to Speedo, they suck. Even in college, I still rocked Speedo goggles and whenever I […]
Ladies and gentleman, mark your calendars. Today I signed my first one year lease. It’s not 100% official, but the paperwork has been turned it. I’m starting to have a mini panic attack, but am breathing deeply and counting to 10. I also keep telling myself that there’s always a way to break a lease; […]
Every few months, someone in my circle of family and friends poses this question, “Soooo…. what exactly do you do?” This is usually how the resulting conversation goes: Me: Do you know what Media Buying is? Grandpa: No Me: Uh, ok, do you know those ads you see on websites? Grandpa: Uh, not really Me: […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve been contemplating switching from Blogger to WordPress. Last night, I gave WordPress a spin. It’s cool and really easy to add extra pages, meaning I could potentially integrate some of my freelance portfolio into the site vs. having different back ends to toggle between. However, when it imported all […]
A few years ago, I got a tiny, discrete tattoo. Shocker, right? Anyway, one-sixth of it represents dreams let go of. At the time, I was ready to let go of the biggest dream I had had to date. It had broken into a million pieces without any possibility of being able to pick up […]
