You’re Invited to the Gnomedex Conference
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Most tech conferences would charge you thousands of dollars for the privilege of being inspired. Gnomedex, however, does not! It delivers more bang for your buck, as it has been for the past ten years. This year, the 10th Gnomedex will [...]
Do You Welcome Conversation from Rude People?
Last night, I wrote here on my blog about people interrupting conversations, and asked for comments as to how to filter out “noise”. I’ve received several follow-up comments and emails today, and I appreciate them. I want to use some of them to facilitate even more discussion, so keep your eyes open for that in [...]
Can Online Discussions Always Be Positive?
I noticed a thread today on Geeks that is talking about how discussions always end up turning negative in some way. This got me to thinking about conversations I have all over the web – on Geeks, over at Lockergnome, here in my blog, and even on sites like Twitter. It seems no matter what [...]
What Do You Read?
Earlier today, I posted a video (and blog post) filled with tips on how to maximize your comprehension when it comes to whatever you are reading. That video made me reflect on the types of things I tend to read. I don’t often sit down with a book. When I do, though, my concentration is [...]
What 100 Things Will Your Child Probably Never Know?
I came across an interesting article online today. With this week being the 40th anniversary of man landing on the Moon, many adults are nostalgic. Nathan Barry blogged on Wired, talking about the many things that kids today have probably never gotten to see and do – and likely never will. But Moore’s Law and [...]
You Need a Thick Skin to Participate Online
Earlier, I read a thread on Geeks about Trent Reznor, the Nine Inch Nails frontman, deleting his Twitter account. Trent embraced Twitter quite awhile ago after discovering what an amazing outlet it can be. He quickly recognized the excellent means of communication Twitter provides. He helped raise over a million dollars via Twitter for a [...]
Summer is Half Over Already?!
I can’t believe we’re already into July. Where the heck did June go? How did I miss it? I haven’t gone out to tan yet, nor have I played any beach volleyball. Wait a minute… I must have had some odd out-of-body experience for a moment there. Let’s call it a momentary lapse of sanity, [...]
How Has Social Media Changed Your Life?
What a powerful and loaded question that could be, eh? I came across a blog post on Geeks earlier, where the writer discussed this subject. He talked of the ways that social networking has changed his life. I can’t help but to sit here, and think of all the ways being so “out there” in [...]
Geek Meets Paranormal Meets Musician
The title says it all, really! What… you don’t get it? You must not have been reading what’s going on in the World of Geeks and Lockergnome today. You all know I love to talk Tech. I love hardware and software, and I can’t get enough of gadgets. Gadgets are an addiction, really. Anyway, I [...]
Gettin’ Geeky With It
Trying to get ready to fly out of town for a confernce is hectic enough. Add to that being sick and coughing my head off on top of that. I’ve been going insane! However, I’m really looking forward to SXSW in Texas! At least it’ll be warmer there, right? I’ve stayed pretty quiet today, resting [...]

Community
In December, I’ll be traveling to New Orleans to speak at a conference about the future of Community. Then, in January, I’ll be heading back to San Francisco to lead the same discussion with a different set of people. I’m often invited to present my ideas and perspectives on the matter, and am usually more [...]

What’s the Best Way to Interview Someone?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I enjoy interviewing people. It’s not what I enjoy most about producing content, though. If you look back in my archives, you’ll see a lot of my early stuff was all interviews, done strictly in audio format. I get asked frequently [...]
