Note: 20 x 2 is a twice yearly event where 20 people across different walks of life and disciplines are invited to answer a question in their own unique way: Here’s how I answered the question “What Do I Want?” last Saturday for the event.(One of my songs was also playing in the back) So, for the…

Mental Health Is Health
Today is World Mental Health Day and I just wanted to write a short post about the importance of opening up and talking about mental health issues. We live in a society where people are encouraged to “suck it up” when it comes to depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. And I’ve found that even…

Digital Analytics Classes and Workshops I’m Doing This Fall/Winter
Web analytics hasn’t seen the last of me yet. I largely tell people that I’m retired from doing digital analytics stuff, and while in my head that’s true, the fact is I’m doing more teaching and training about digital measurement and analytics than ever. I’m cool with that, teaching is definitely a better fit for my…

I apologize in advance for my behavior this coming month
First of all I would like to say FALL SUCKS. This weather is miserable and has made me sluggish and triggered migraines and my allergies, which exacerbates my dry eye.

Genghis Tron was one of our nation’s great bands, fight me, fight me.
It’s weird how 2008 has become a year of nostalgia for me. It’s long enough ago that I can feel nostalgic but recent enough that I remember everything like it was yesterday. It was a good year for me and music, my vision wasn’t shit yet, I did a lot of international travel around that time,…

I’ll be talking about the “how to be a pop…

I know what I did this summer
I’ve been a bit quiet here over the summer, but I’ve been up to a lot so I wanted to share it, in my usual quarterly self promotional blog post. I’m working with Citizen Engagement Laboratory’s Cultural Pulse project, and I’ve been doing a lot of writing there which may be of interest to you…

A “welcome packet” for my keratoconus family
In the past 7 years since I was diagnosed with keratoconus, I started to join different online groups and meet other people with the condition. I often relive the early frustration and fear of those newly diagnosed. It’s scary: the changes in vision come on quickly and it can be quite disruptive to one’s work…

Don’t be the office asshole. Here’s how.
My good bud Raizel sent me a link today that made me laugh. Not in a “ha ha,” funny way but the bitter laugh of recognition. The kind of laugh of someone whose been through something messed up and seeing someone else go through the same thing and realizing you’re not alone. It was a question in…
