What the Flip!
“Hello, my name is Jake and I’m a gadgetholic.”

WordCamp Dallas - See you there?
WordCamp Dallas is coming up in just two weeks or so. I’ll be attending, will you?
I’m looking quite forward to this event. I’ve been working with clients and their installations of WordPress for a few years now, but March marks 9 months of having my own blog on the WordPress platform. In fact, with [...]
Granularity is not the (only) solution
One of my grandest pleasures in my career is helping younger people build their own careers. I’m certainly no business genius, but I’ve been around long enough that I’ve picked up a few tricks. Interestingly, many of the questions I get from these folks follow similar patterns and I can nearly count on the exchanges [...]
Nikon D60 Loaner Program
In a very cool twist of gadget fate, I’ve been included in the next round of the Nikon Loaner Program, having a tasty new D60 show up just in time to use it at SXSW. I popped my new 18-200mm VR lens on and off I went. Since this model is just hitting store shelves, [...]

The “Edit Me!” panel got love from both Joystiq and Massively.com and Extenuating Circumstances. Check out either [...]
Silence meant security: Overcoming WWII Propaganda
A few weeks back, I was the guest of honor at a dinner that could only be described as “surreal”. Gathered around the table were 10 members of the Intelligence Community, representing organizations like CIA, NSA, NGA, State, TSA and others.
One of our conversations was the parallels and connections between the cultures of today’s business [...]

POLL: Do you enjoy the Rapid Fire posts?
I’ve noticed I’m now spending quite a bit of time each day collecting links for the nightly “Rapid Fire” posts. (See example)
I’m curious… do you like them? Hate them? Haven’t even noticed them? Use the poll below to let me know if you think they should go away or live on into the future.

The difficulty of participation by the corporation
OK, let’s get this out of the way right up front - being a member of a corporation and participating in the Social Web is difficult. There’s so much fear wrapped up in the idea of opening yourself up that it scares far too many off of participating.
In our recent SXSW panel, “Managing Effective Communities”, [...]
