I approached Jason Horowitz about working together on a fledgling new idea he had for a town hall destination for advertising sales professionals. Jason is a respected career sales professional himself. The previous AdSalesPros.com site was built statically in HTML, using tables instead of Cascading Style Sheets. This would require recoding for every blog post [...]
I was asked by some of the top executives of the Wharton Club of New York to assist them in designing a web destination to attract entrepreneurs and manage deaflow for the Wharton Angel Network. Having already interacted with the Angelsoft system I utilized this as the platform for interested entrepreneurs to submit business plans. [...]
I had the great joy of spending six weeks in China back in 2003. When returning from my time spent there I really had the desire to go and live in China for at least a year. The culture is so distinctly different from the US. It was getting off the beaten path, away from [...]
As much as I wanted to, I never did get to go off to Space Camp when I was 12. I had to make do reading and re-reading the Time Life book series on the various planets. It brought me right back to those days longing to be in a spacesuit as I read the [...]

New York has the same effect espoused in this article- to endlessly drive you to ever higher echelons of wealth. But the effect is less-pronounced due to other factors, at least from my experience. While the very wealthy [...]
New York is a city of multi-taskers. Most of my peers in the tech industry (media, publishing, advertising..) all have a variety of jobs, gigs, tasks, etc. My friend Nichelle was quoted in the Times in an article about being able to juggle several varying kinds of different work at once. She manages to handle [...]
When I was young I had the good fortune to travel on one nice trip per year. It wasn’t because my family had the money to- we were just scraping by- it was because my mom had the “luck” to win supermarket and manufacturer contests for free trips. Now in reality it wasn’t luck at [...]
Well the summer may be a third over- but the definitive guide to summer in the city just came out. New York Mag still does the best job of regional editorial on the web- and their annual summer guide is a great compendium of fun things to do.. http://nymag.com/guides/summer/ Now I just have resist the [...]
The NextNY crew got together to give a bon voyage to Charlie O’Donnell who is heading out on a cross country adventure while he reflects on where his life will take him next. With the Empire State building looking down upon us we talked tech, NYC & of course, tomorrow’s release of the iPhone. It [...]
I watched the Barry Diller interview on 20/20 last night. I often get a kick out of the mainstream press covering the latest fad of tech- but this was a good interview, and I actually enjoyed all of the backstory about Barry’s lifelong romance with Diane Von Furstenberg. Barry talked a fair amount about building [...]
