– iBurgh complaint department for iPhone gets to the heart of city living
Last night’s Refresh Pittsburgh meeting featured the team that created this app (also YinzCam, if you’re interested). I was impressed by the simple elegance of iBurgh, by the genius of the idea. Moreover, one of the...

– MET’S NUDE BUST - New York Post
The purile 21-y.o. art student in me loves this story. The upstanding 37-y.o. professional and father in me loves this story. I can’t remember the last time those two brats agreed on anything.
You know, I'm a bit tired of hearing people say...

I introduced Heather to the world of my imaginary friends last night, when we had drinks and a nice dinner with @texburgher, @jkresen and @dascola. (She had met @ccsteff before, very briefly at some races we ran together, but other than that it was the first time she really sat down face to face with the inevitable consequences of my crippling internet addiction.) While, as an...

You're welcome, Vatican.
Me: NO WAY are we going to the pool at this point. Your behavior this morning has been wretched.
(sudden thunder and rain)
Me: Well, apparently God agrees that you don't deserve to go to the pool today.

Vote for my SXSW panel full of funny Twitter users →
I’m looking forward to this panel. Not just because I like Nick and Adam, but because I’m one of the weirdos who approaches Twitter as a creative/expressive outlet. Now, I’m nowhere near as good at it as Nick or Adam - or a massive, sexy handful of others I follow - but I try.
Nick’s got my vote, my attendance, and my thanks for mentioning one of my own proposals to boot.

Help put the "us" in "Austin" for SXSW 2010.
A couple of months ago, I submitted two very solid SXSW presentation proposals with a mix of three incredibly moving, inspiring people. The first, entitled, “So This Guy Walks Into His Own Story,” is a panel proposal with myself, Chris Cashdollar, and Kevin Hoffman, creative director and director of user experience, respectively, at Happy Cog East. Read the full description and vote...

This G20 post desperately needs a better title.
So, I’m going to start “blogging” about a couple of really fun projects we’re doing at “work” this month. They pertain to the upcoming G20 summit, which you know by now is being held in Pittsburgh next month. You also may - or may not - know that I live in Pittsburgh. You probably don’t know that our offices at Elliance (where I work) sit directly across...
