How Twitter Changed My Life In A Year
Fail Whale Book – The Video
Yeah, I shot a video. Actually, Allie shot and directed, I acted and edited. I think as I make more of these they're going to get easier. So without further ado....
Commercial Appeal
You see how craftily Jonathan Nail usurps this picture with his wit and charm. We were at a networking event last week, a pre-screening for the Streamy Awards, which happen in the Spring. Yes, I'll be there. I'm scoring Jonathan's masterpiece webseries "SOLO The Series," which Allie is producing.
I'm compiling a list of Indie bookstores in and around Los Angeles. Why? Because I'm ...
You Don’t Have To Wear Pants On The Radio
I've known Gina Yates and Jason Burns (pictured above is Gina and Jeff Phillips, the other third of LAGenX, who I met the day of the broadcast) from LAGenX for a long time. I've been following Gina almost since the beginning of my time on Twitter, and reading the ramblings of Jason for about the same. Gina and I met at my first tweetup, which you can read about in the book (Porn Icon Ron J...
I Quit
The image above came from http://www.wordle.net/, which lets you take a slew of words and create art out of them. I was referred to the site by successful author Michael. C. Cordell, or as I know him @SoCalVillaGuy. His book "In The Foothills" is a collection of poetry and short stories, and is available on Amazon.com now.
I quit. I don't want to go to even one more f**king networkin...
“Sir, You Need to Wear Pants on This Flight.”
The book is starting to prepare for takeoff, and I'm wearing my pilot uniform.
This picture of Allison and I was taken this morning at the Burbank Small Business Networking Breakfast. It was taken by Jenny Beatty of Bandwagon Graphiks, who apparently had nothing better to do than take pictures during a networking event. Not shown: Carter Mason picking his underwear out of his butt.

Drunken Tweeting
Last night I partook in drunken tweeting with these people. They're troublemakers (one of them is related to Allie), you have to watch them every second. Fortunately for everyone involved, I wore pants.
You have to be careful when you tweet while drinking. Especially if you're me, because the majority of my friends are on Twitter, so there's no anonymity whatsoever. I'm already on t...
My First Valentine’s Day…
... was spent with this woman. Last night. I made her a four course meal, complete with crème brûlée. I gave her roses and a ring with emeralds, and she bought me a beautiful set of harmonicas, which came from a comment I made during our trip to the Tucson Film and Music Festival last year. We watched a documentary about the harmonica, and I remarked that it made me wish I had one s...
It’s Hard Being Naked
I suppose, at some point in the writing process, it occurred to me that people would be reading my book.
I didn't really think about it, I tried to write the book like a journal, it let me open up without worrying about judgment. But there was definitely a point when I realized that people would be reading this thing. I think it's the day the proofs showed up at my door.
Staring back at me...
Welcome To My Launch
