Hold on to your butts. It’s about to get personal-ish. I’m a full-time, not-so-single dad, dating an incredible, not-so-single mama. Last year, I took an awesome job at a fantastic company. Last month I walked away from that steady paycheck into the great unknown of grab-n-growl freelancing. This is the part where other people...

Why I Hate Teaching
I love education. But I hate teaching. Far too often we confuse the two, and I think that’s a big reason the US education system is the battered & bruised behemoth it is. Well, that and demagoguery by pusillanimous politicians. If you look at how the US education system evolved, there are striking similarities to how...
A Musician’s Opinion on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
I am a musician. I write, record, and play songs. I spend months pouring my deepest feelings into a dozen or so 3 minute tunes. In the good ol’ days, I could’ve signed a deal with some huge record label, borrowed a ridiculous amount of money from them to record those songs, and end...
3 Predictions About the Future of “Social”
In the US, there are tens of millions of searches every month for things related to social marketing, social media marketing, and the like. But, if you look at Google Trends, it also looks like that search traffic may have peaked (for now, anyway). So have searches for Facebook, by the way. What that...
Facebook Doesn’t Get It
Facebook has begun the The Inevitable Letdown. It was innovative. It was cool. It was fun. But Zuckerberg is so damned paranoid that some little startup is going to deflate his behemoth, that he’s clearly created a reactive culture. They are focusing on competitors more than customers (users). Let me count the ways: Geolocation...

Excellent Adventure, Day 2 Thoughts
4:14 AM: Wake up. Wide awake. Convince myself it’s too damn early and semi-sleep for another 90 minutes. Get up, pack up. 6:00 AM: Free breakfast always tastes better. Even though I know I’m paying for it in the room rate. So, I guess it’s not free. In that case, it was mediocre....
Seth’s Excellent Adventure, Day 1 Thoughts
Prequel: had dinner with the kids and Erin at Chester’s last night. One more green chili cheeseburger. Cried like the Cowardly Lion if he got hit with pepper spray after saying goodbye (for 2 weeks) to the kids. And Erin. 6:04 AM: Rolled out of the driveway of the house that had finally helped make Texas feel...
The Grayscales of Justice
I saw this from a friend on Facebook today: Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither. I...
