This photo was taken at the famous Junior’s Restaurant in Brooklyn on my first date with Orian. God what he must have thought when I eagerly pulled out my camera to snap this pic. I’m on a date with a chick who takes photos of her food? If it weren’t for that milkshake I might [Keep Reading…]

Photo of the day: 12 Gay Street
Today’s photo comes courtesy of my friend Mike Singleton over at drop.io. This door is at 12 Gay Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan. According to Mike, this sign on the front door (DANGER!! NO INTERIOR FLOORS!!) is the only sign that there’s any construction going on inside or around the building. It’s [Keep Reading…]
What REALLY happened during the IA Summit (#IAS09)
To discover what we were really talking about during IA Summit 2009, Damon Herren used Wordle to create a word cloud visualization from all of the tweets containing the hashtag #IAS09. And what’s smack dab in the middle? Me! I know I tweet up a storm when I’m at conferences, but the @ prefacing my [Keep Reading…]
Mentors and Heroes
I grew up without any heroes. That’s a hard thing to admit. In the 5th grade when every kid had to stand up in front of the room and talk about his or her role model, I just made one up that would sound good. How is this possible? Even at that tender age, I [Keep Reading…]

So I’ve decided to start a new blog series called “City Trails” to track [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Elevator in Use By Peabody Ducks
Talk about being on brand. The Peabody Hotel never misses a beat when it comes to their world-renowned ducks. This is the sign they put in front of the center elevator just before the March of the Ducks. It’s so freakin’ cute and something you’d never see anywhere else that I just had to share. [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: You must be in one of the first five cars
If you’ve ever ridden the 1/2/3 line on the NYC subway, you’ve probably seen one of these signs: Both the 145th St stop and the South Ferry stop have shorter platforms than the rest of the stations. That means that unless you’re in one of the first five cars, you won’t be able to exit [Keep Reading…]
Your target market cannot be everyone
One of the first things I ask prospective clients is to specify their target audiences. Nine times out of ten they’re sure to respond, “We want to appeal to everyone!” I give the same response to them all: Try to make your product for everyone and you’ll appeal to no one. If a company doesn’t [Keep Reading…]
