The words ‘photos’ and ‘vacation’ go together much better than ‘managing’ and ‘vacation’. But with today’s devices, we’ve come to accept there’s a little work to having so much technology at our finger tips. My family and I just returned from an amazing trip to Disney World in Orlando. Part of our efforts to refresh [...]

My blog turned 5 years old this month
With no fanfare or media coverage, my blog “Excerpts from the mind” quietly turned 5 years old this month. Having owned the domain chuckstar.com since 1997, I used it for portfolio, business and hosting projects until September 2005. My first post, which got lost in an early wordpress upgrade, talked about a car I was [...]
Fenway dreams come true, courtesy of litl
Ever since I became a Red Sox fan during the season of 1987, when baseball cards had wooden borders, I dreamed of running on to the field at Fenway while my name was being announced. As I got older and started going to more and more games, that dream grew to one day sitting in [...]
Lightroom 3 is awesome. So much fun enhancing photos.
My work-to-fun ratio with software reached about 50 to 1 many years ago. I stopped playing PC games and have spent almost all of my time using software for coding (admittedly fun – sometimes) and for work and personal productivity. The timing was good to see this tweet last week just days after I off [...]

The Daily Interfacer
I recently launched a new side-blog project with super-talented friend and former colleague of mine, Brendan Lee. The idea came to use way back in August 2009, but like so many worthy things, it took some time to establish. We take to a naturally unique conversation style, where the tangent and non sequitur are instrumental, [...]
My litl business cards
I’ve had a lot of business cards in my career, but none have been as expressive as what I’ll be giving out as Chief Channel Evangelist from litl. So far, I have been very impressed with our internal design team. Not only did they apply incredible ingenuity to the hardware design of our device, but [...]
Flash And The City 2010 Speaker Video
I am proud to present my official Flash And The City 2010 Speaker Video. The idea came to me based on Egon’s awesome line: “I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought”, while standing on the roof of a high rise over New York City. I think this line reflects, with some humor, how many [...]
RIA Conference Schwag Auctions for Charity
In addition to making a few random donations for Haiti relief, I wanted to contribute to the HaitiNeeds.us effort led by Jesse Freeman. Partially inspired by something Ted Patrick did several years ago, I decided to take a bunch of conference schwag items and post them on eBay. 100% of the proceeds go to charity [...]
