I have left Ribbit to evangelize channel content and application development on the litl device. In a two part blog post, I would like to share with you the story of where I was and where I am going. [*] Where I was… 30 months ago, in April 2007, I walked into the door at…
Just a quick post to say that I have a pretty significant week ahead of me. I’m flying out to the Bay Area to check in at Ribbit HQ in Mountain View. After a few quick days of coordinating and catching up with the team, we are all conducting our flagship developer event: Ribbit Developer…
I was watching a movie late last night when a sharp light caught my eye out of the living room skylight window. I looked up and noticed the moon was glowing bright, hiding deep behind the bare autumn branches of a tree. I took a closer look and, with a head clear of stress and…
I’ve heard rumors that over a hundred were turned away from my session today at FOTB. I’m happy to say that my debut presentation at Flash on the Beach was super fun and very successful. The stereo microphone demonstrations were flawless. All in all, the questions and audience participation were the best I’ve ever experienced….

With 4 bugs, (3 of them live) in the bug vacuum, I thought I’d share a view inside the chamber. You can get your very ownBug Vacuum from Amazon.
I received notification on Friday that I have been accepted to join our town’s Public School Technology Committee. It is something I learned about when we first moved here at the beginning of the year. There was a posting on the town’s web site about how the committee was forming and that they were looking…
Well, I knew this day would come. The day when I could finally connect to the internet and end in-flight boredom for all time! I am writing now from seat 12c aboard a Virgin America flight from Boston to SFO. This airline has more perks than any I’ve ever flown. Since they only operate two…
