I contributed a guest post to GigaOM this week. In my role at Gnip, I’ve had a blast watching major corporations incorporate social data in to every aspect of their operations. We’re still super early in the adoption cycle. I can’t wait to see how the role of social data [...]
Boulder has a thriving tech community that has been well documented in the last 12 months alone via The New York Times, MSNBC, CNBC, and lots of other sources. I consider myself to be a reasonably active member of the community through visible roles as a TechStars mentor and [...]
I hear some form of the following question a lot from founders that are starting to have early success:

Okay, some of you are probably sick of hearing me talk about our new video conferencing system. I decided to shoot a short video as a final word on the subject. I promise I’ll shut-up now.
A couple of points not covered in the video:
Yes, this is different than having two computers setup [...]
Long story short, I found myself in a jam last week and had to find a new office in Boulder in less than 2 hours. The good news is that I was able to find a great little place that was in my price range (dirt cheap). The bad news is that it is located [...]
I’m getting old enough now that I’m measuring the personal milestones of my life in years. For example, 2005 was a great year because my son, Matthew, was born. 2005 is also the year we bought our current home in Boulder and the year I rediscovered my love for cycling.
