I was having some food the other night with my good friend Geoff Storm and he got talking to me about how cool the tour at the New Belgium brewery in Colorado was. What impressed him the most was how they try to help employees be more green, and have built a really cool corporate…
A few months back I signed up for the web-only (well, iphone only) version of Sirius. What got me to sign up was really a combination of things – first, I was really curious to hear Gary’s program ‘Wine and Web.’ The guests that he was having on the show from the tech world really…
Live music isn’t dead. Far from it. But I come from an area that doesn’t have a huge live scene and a large swath of the population would rather go out on a Friday night to sing along with Bon Jovi covers than listen to original live music. This presents a big problem for lots…

Recently I took part in the nation’s biggest 15K road race – The Boilermaker – which is held in my hometown of Utica, NY. It was my 4th time running but my 1st time competing in Vibram Five Fingers. I’ve been practically living in my pair of KSOs since I purchased them in May of…
