The 5-Year Anniversary of My LLC
With all of my elation yesterday, I completely forgot to acknowledge that on August 3, 2005, I signed the paperwork that established my LLC. I was 7 months into my first full-time job at Digitas, and struggling to make ends meet. Since friends and family were already asking me to “just help them” with their [Keep Reading…]
Fulfilling My Dreams, and Saying No Along the Way
I am crying. And I am desperately trying not to smear the mascara I just put on. I’m emotional this morning (well, more emotional than normal) because a professional dream of mine has been fulfilled: I’ve been published by A List Apart. I read A List Apart when I was in college and needed to [Keep Reading…]

I’ve written before about why I work there, and have tweeted endlessly about the inspiration and genius that fills its walls. In April we found out that we lost our lease and immediately had to move into a temporary home [Keep Reading…]
Do Not Underestimate the Power of a Great PM
Brett Harned is one of the best project managers I’ve ever known. I have the pleasure of working with him at Happy Cog, and getting to watch his skills put to work for the benefit of our team and the client team alike. Despite being an adamantly behind-the-scenes kind of guy, he recently started blogging [Keep Reading…]
An Event Apart Minneapolis 2010
I had the distinct pleasure of presenting at An Event Apart 2009 in Boston and Chicago (read about my experience), so imagine my delight when Jeffrey and Eric asked me to reprise my talk this year in Minneapolis and San Diego! AEA attendees are a tough crowd — they’re already smart, successful and very well-informed [Keep Reading…]
Fun Times in Mini-Apple-Us
When I was asked to speak at An Event Apart Minneapolis, I thought, “An Event Apart, yes! Minneapolis, whatever.” I wasn’t expecting much from my trip to the Twin Cities — but I was dead wrong. Flying over Minnesota for the first time a week ago today, all I could see was a flat expanse [Keep Reading…]
Inspiration and Aspiration
The words inspiration and aspiration are often used interchangeably, and I think it’s important that we draw a clearer distinction. Inspiration is defined as, “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something.” Aspiration is, “a hope or ambition of achieving something.” Stimulation versus ambition. Excitement versus action. And most significantly, external versus [Keep Reading…]
