DISQUS

hey chris, feel ya sort of - i "own" 3 cars but none of them are actually "mine" - for i am a train rider ;)

my wife has a honda pilot, and both my boys have honda cr-v's - sense a trend, we like honda - have found them to be safe, economical and low maintenance so far...

we drive them all over in any conditions including through new england's very snowy winters - plus we schlep around our 110lb lab too...

good luck in your search :)

nice andrew - good title and capture, in nyc i assume...

the fact that your mom & dad wished you happy birthday via a comment on this thread is pretty awesome chris - just say'n :)

“Happy Birthday, Chris!” ;)

i love that you share posts like this w/ your wealth of friends - in fact i'd credit you (ok among some others) w/ blurring the line between meatspace and online friendships - your social media/networking chi is strong & always getting stronger, you work very hard at it too - many know of chris brogan & count him as a trusted friend and yet so many haven't met him in person yet but hope to one day (i'm one of them) - that is a gift my friend, one you should be very proud of - so again, enjoy your bday my friend :)

wow - you can get yours to go hiking w/ you, i can only get my dogs to join me ;)

this is out of my sweet spot dave, but i did notice that blinn has a blog and uses it while 5w doesn't seem to - i thought that was telling...

mostly though i like the picture of the two kittens fighting that sai used in their post...

awesome clip - glad to have read marijean's comment too, always two sides to every story...

and don't you just hate those "ambush journalists" - they just seem to always want to ask those nagging questions that political officials don't want to or can't answer

thank god for jesus

mine was semi-painful - not the cleanest upgrade yet...

yes & about time huh...

i has dogs....

ok - now that answers the "why albany?" from your tweet ;)

had the same reaction when i first read in via http://nytimesriver.com and then again when dave winer posted about it - sad statement of the environment there, though to be factual, it has always been that way, nothing new or recent - and one of the reasons i've personally avoided moving there throughout my career, even though i've had many offers - i like visiting it and most companies i've been associated w/ there have been innovative and positive in nature, but not the sort of place to live and raise a family - imho of course...

you clever online pr guru you, baiting them to come and pitch you via this post, whomever finds this and engages is likely to get your attention and by extension money - clever dave, very clever - the game is afoot ;)

good coverage - i'd vote for you, even from down here in stamford...

no mention of your website though and hey who took that picture of you that they used ;)

omg - lol...

that may be the best movie review line they'll get - "it made me very hungry" - sweet dave :)

he cool - congrat's, will have to stop by before or after one of my fun filled metro-north commutes to midtown ;)

david - right on!

i can already feel the ripple effects down here in stamford (for readers unfamiliar: we are the largish ct city just south of david's tiny pound ridge township) - david, once you've gotten them all ajaxie and rssie - our fine city leaders will feel the need to keep up w/ the jones (or parmets) and come seeking your sage markup advice ;)

concur dave, i'm constantly shocked by some in academia who are firmly stuck in the past - "the internet is all bad" mindset and yet don't have a clue when it comes to the upside potential of very simply things online offers such as e-learning and exposure to global multi-cultural issues...

however, no one should rely on a school system to educate their kids - that's our job as parents, and frankly the generation that our kids fall in is so much more aware of the varying aspects of who, what and how online than our generation (as a whole) is - ask any teenager how they can tell the difference between a "real" online persona and a "fake - creepy - troll" persona - most will laugh and tell you how obvious one is from the other...

we are at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to online community progression - the youth of today are growing up owning it and will leave us in the dust - that's a good thing especially for the progression of things such as tolerance and awareness, the village shrinks positively onward generation by generation and the network has a lot to do w/ it ;)

as for andrew keen - troll's should be ignored at all cost, any kid will tell you that...

not bad chris - would definitely work for those w/ lots of flexibility and diversity in their tasks...

those of us that spend our days going from one meeting to another sandwiched around con-calls sometimes don't schedule enough "desktime" to actually get "real" work done - your model would work well for those few hour blocks that serve that purpose...

however, when doing heads-down technical stuff, sometimes it takes 20 minutes just to get your head into a position of understanding - to then take a break would cause an interruption in comprehension that would take time to get back to - anybody whose ever worked at the root level of development or architecture will grok this - but not every system is right for every situation...

i'll try your idea during my next scheduled "desktime" - i think i have one or two next month ;)

yeah - spooky, felt like i was back in texas for awhile there...

your folks north of us got it worse i think...

"its asking for the credit card security code, lets use paypal instead."

oh yea - way cool is right...

sweet new toy - i sense a pending flickr onslaught...

hey - after reading this i want to get into pr - forget this technologist crud, pr folks are at the forefront of emerging technology trends, right ;)

welcome back btw - sounds like you had fun w/ the boy...

i leave w/ mine sunday for the great white north - oh yeah!!!!

i think it's because creative projects (art, code, events, whatever...) tend to flow iteratively w/ differing velocities, thus your able to start them at different times, stack them one on top of the other, yet be performing different aspects of each from a timeline perspective - so for example, while deciding on the concept for one, building another, testing another and productionalizing another (really simplifying the whole concept-to-production flow) - it maximizes the person or team doing the multiple projects of course - but thats ok, multitasking is in itself an artform...
