DAYTON – Internet entrepreneur Jeff Pulver strode, or rather, “surfed” his way into Dayton on Sunday, Aug. 22, as part of a road trip promoting 140Conf.com’s event Oct. 20 in Detroit. About two dozen emergent media/social networking and technology denizens met Pulver for a “meet and greet” at Blind Bob’s, 430 E. Fifth St. in [...]

Jeff Pulver of 140Conf poses with Gary Leitzell, the Mayor of Dayton at the Dayton Road Trip meet up for the 140conf. When we arrived at Blind Bob’s for the 140conf Road Trip Meet Up, there were already a dozen people there, waiting for and watching Jeff Pulver and his “roadies” navigate the Ohio freeway [...]

Way back in May, I blogged about how me and Gary Leitzell, the Mayor of Dayton, became best buds. And I realize that in all the excitement of making a new best friend, I forgot to follow up and tell everyone how it went. So, several months later, here goes. By the way, if you [...]

I had the good fortune of working briefly in the equine business through 1997-98 while also selling exercise bikes to paralyzed people (true story). One lesson I will take away always. Winning the Kentucky Derby is such a long shot that most people don’t even shoot that far. When it does happen through a series [...]

Every morning, Jeff Pulver shouts out random “Good Morning” tweets. Maybe they are not random. Maybe he has a rotating plan or maybe he shouts out to people who are on twitter when he is. I don’t know. But I do know that I watch for these good morning shout outs and each day, they [...]

I was reading Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years on my iPad using Kindle when I flipped the page and saw a passage underlined with a dashed line. “Hmmm, what’s this,” I asked myself. I never highlight passages in a book unless I am working on a paper and I forgot my [...]

I’m a fan of Simone Grant‘s blog Sex, Lies and Dating in the City (don’t judge, just read her blog, ok?) Yesterday, I was watching FOX because that is where the Simpsons are and I saw the promo for Glee. And for a fraction of a second, they showed a cut to a pair of [...]

It seems that everyone has an opinion on Facebook’s privacy mess and I would be remiss if I didn’t just jump right on the bandwagon and try to grab some limelight (two clichés in one sentence!) Here is what I think is going on. I think Facebook’s privacy policy is more a reflection of a [...]

If Austin Hicks has his way you will soon be hearing and seeing a lot of this up-and-coming Country music performer. The 19-year-old Northmont High School graduate is literally “jumping through the hoops,” doing what it takes to make his way in the world of Country music. That includes hiring an agency to market his [...]

Yesterday, I read 34,543 complaints on twitter about how crappy the Internet was, how AT&T wasn’t getting a signal to someone’s iPhone, how someone’s iPad wasn’t picking up a five-bar WiFi signal and on and on. And I read one article in the WSJ Magazine about how one man — Thomas Witherspoon — was changing [...]

Well, in all honesty, we’re not best buds yet. We’re not even Facebook friends, but that is all I’m shooting for anyway. Back in November of 2009, Gary got himself elected Mayor of Dayton, Ohio. I didn’t vote for him because I couldn’t as I live in Englewood.* Apparently they have laws here and Dayton [...]

I read an article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today that says the hot new job title in technology is “Ninja.” Really? Seriously? People like being called the “Ninja?” Before that, we had “Rockstar” and “Guru” and … [insert other fantasy title here]. All mis-appropriated from a fantasy of a high-school [...]

The iPad has been out for a day now, so that should have been enough time for all the pundits and Apple-know-it-alls to gripe about what is missing from the iPad, what should have been done differently, etc, etc, etc. And they are all very wrong because Steve Jobs really doesn’t care what you think [...]

Pretty harsh title, I admit but it is really just there to get your attention. Did it work? People don’t care about great ideas. They care about great personalities with average ideas they can understand. How else can you explain Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue: An American Life (Please don’t buy it.) or the raving [...]

I was given a marvelous opportunity recently, namely representing DogWalkBlog at SXSW. Jumped on that offer immediately, because who wouldn’t?? I was also given a few tasks to accomplish while I was there, mostly along the line of “see if you can find Chris Brogan, aka @chrisbrogan, and say “hi” to him. Some of these [...]
