I put my photos of Fray Cafe Sedona up yesterday. Here’s me kicking things off. Do I always rub my hands toghether when I’m nervous? Yes, I do.
Special thanks to Mark for the pic above. The trouble with being the emcee and the photographer is that you never get photos of yourself on stage. Thanks, [...]

Photos from last night’s Flam Chen show. One sentence review: Kinda like Cirque du Soleil if they had fire instead of money. Bonus one word review: Amazing.

In my first 24 hours with the service, KnowSpam has blocked 480 spam messages for me. Can I get an amen?

The Scar, my newest {fray} story, has been picked up by the Jewish hipster magazine Jewsweek (online here). It was also linked to by Jewish hipster blog Jewschool. Who knew there was so much Jewish hipsterism online?

My old friend, one time boss, and fellow former HotWiredling June Cohen has published a new book: The Unusually Useful Web Book. I spoke with June when she was writing the book (and I hear I may even be quoted), and it sounds like it’s going to fill a real missing link in web books: [...]

Kevin-John was my first video conferencing victim with the new iChat AV. What fun. What pure, geeky fun.

So this weekend I attended the only reunion I’ll probably ever bother to go to. Only eight years after my graduation (one of the the benefits of constantly hanging with slightly older people is that you don’t have to wait for a round 10), I once again wandered the hills of Santa Cruz with the [...]
