Pinteresting email from Ben, cofounder of...
About a year ago, I joined a new web service to collect visual inspiration for personal and professional use. Simple premise. You created boards according to a certain subject matter, you ‘pinned’ web images with tags, sources, prices, witty comments, etc. You follow people, they may follow you back. Pinterest seemed like fun and I was pretty much hooked from the get-go. I created...

Quitting is for Losers and Entrepreneurs
See the gentleman pictured above? I just did the same thing…by saying those two little words that have been synonymous with deserters, defectors and general non-winners.  “I quit” and with that, I made the great leap. Head first with eyes wide open. I am walking away from my full-time role as creative director. I am walking away from great colleagues. I am walking away from a...

Gary Vaynerchuk is now following you on Twitter!
As a pretty keen Twitter user, you get a nerd hard-on when a public figure you admire follows you. Like when @bogusky followed me (FYI: just as surprisingly he then unfollowed me about 6 months later). Can you really blame the guy? But, it’s better to be followed and unfollowed, rather than never being followed at all. Today, on Friday the 13th no less, I was informed that I won a very cool...

A Second Letter from a Father to a Son
At eight-oh-nine in the evening 2 years ago, the world heard your first note. A lovely cry that announced your arrival. Today my boy, you became a two year old.

You began to speak slightly sooner than what the charts predicted, your command of French and...

A lot of people (read geeks) love it, and a lot of people (read old paradigm) hate it. Sure, Square can change how you make...
