If Elected, I Will Not Serve

In Design, Politics, Powazek on 20 November 2007 with 2 comments

After studying the pearls of wisdom in Reading Tea Leaves and Campaign Logos in the NY Times, I started to wonder what a POWAZEK ‘08 poster would look like. So, here it is. Given the field, I think I might actually do okay in the primaries.

For what it’s worth, my favorite logo of the current [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

In Life, Photos, Powazek on 16 May 2007 with 35 comments

Today is my 34th birthday. And as is my tradition, I snapped a self-portrait to document the moment.
The last few weeks have been some of the hardest of my life. Still, I feel lucky. I have people around me that give a shit, a loving wife and partner in crime, a world of opportunity ahead, [...]

Live from Switzerland

In Business, Powazek, Video on 15 May 2007 with 3 comments

Back in February, I went to Switzerland to participate in JPG’s first gallery show. I also got to drop in on the Lift conference and participate in a panel about “The User/Citizen Centered Society.” They’ve just made a video of the panel available. I start blabbing at about the 22-minute mark. I think I did [...]

Two Conferences, Two Weeks

In Conferences, Geek, Life, Powazek on 25 July 2006 with Comments Off

A small collection of thoughts after attending two conferences in two weeks.

The US government is full of people who are really passionate about what they’re doing. In other jobs, you “work.” But when you work for the government, you “serve.”
Those of us who have been making webstuff since before the word “weblog” came around, myself [...]

The Powazek World Tour

In Blogging, Event, Geek, Powazek, Travel on 12 July 2006 with Comments Off

Today I embark on the very exciting 2006 Powazek World Tour. (Well, if you consider Portland and DC the world and two stops to be a tour, anyway.)
This Thursday and Friday I’ll be participating in a private conference sponsored by - I swear I’m not making this up - the State Department. It’s called the [...]

What I’m Up To Now

In Design, Life, Powazek on 26 April 2006 with Comments Off

Two months ago, I posted about leaving Technorati and starting a design studio. I also lamented how hard it was to find a good domain name, and lots of you wrote in with fabulous suggestions and offers. I tried to reply to everyone, but please forgive me if I didn’t get back to you. They [...]

I Live in the Future

In Design, ETech, Geek, Internet, Powazek, Technorati on 23 March 2006 with Comments Off

So today I found myself at home, sitting on the couch, plugged into my laptop. I was talking to a gentleman in Australia, where it was already the next day, over the internet with Skype. We talked about the web, blogging, and community, while his daughter squealed in the background. He recorded the conversation and [...]
