Can You Get Gnomedex Tickets for Free? Maybe!
Since 2001, we have been producing Gnomedex, a conference that brought to the stage hundreds of thought leaders and many influencers before they were influential. We started Gnomedex 10 years ago in Iowa, and the conference has since grown to one of the premier tech conferences in the nation. After last year’s event, I announced [...]
Let it Snow in Seattle
In a strange twist of Fate, it is currently cold as hell and snowing here in Seattle. Kat is busy gloating, since it was 74 degrees (F) and sunny in Indianapolis today. Normally our weather is opposite, but in MY favor. I usually brag to her that it’s nice and balmy here on the west [...]

LEGO Space Needle Review
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed At 400 Broad Street in Seattle stands the Space Needle. It’s an observation tower built in 1961 for the World’s Fair. I was able to build my LEGO version much faster than the real one was created. This kit is part [...]

The Only Needle I Don’t Fear: Seattle Space Needle LEGO
I am afraid of heights. That fact has been established on more than one occasion. I also don’t much care for needles. Let’s face it: they’re a pain in the ass. We’ve also established that I adore my LEGO creations. What could be more amazing than being able to have a needle that I’m not [...]

Seattle Geek Week
So, the 10th Gnomedex conference has been scheduled for August 19 – 21, 2010 (and everybody is invited to attend, by the way). Some of my Seattle-area friends have been asking if they could hold their event during the week of Gnomedex (assumedly, asking out of respect). That got me to thinking: why not string [...]
Seattle Wins Free Civic Apps Through Code for America
Have I ever mentioned how much I love living here in Seattle? This place is on the cutting edge of both technology and social media. We are blessed to have many companies with home bases or satellite offices here who are heavy hitters in one of the two “industries.” The city and surrounding area are [...]
Love is in the Air for Apple Fans
If you are an Apple fan, nothing would be worse than hooking up with the “perfect” person – only to discover that they are a Windows user. That is likely the biggest deal-breaker of all. Thanks to new service Cupidtino, you’ll never have to worry about this again. The site promises to bring Apple fan-boys [...]

Seattle Dinner at Black Pearl
It’s another Seattle Tweetup! Thought I’d show you a snapshot of what’s on the menu for tonight. This particular event is being hosted by BlackPearlSEA, NorthESea and Seattle_Events.

Seattle Wine Time!
Washington Wines are tasty! Tried @LatahCreekWine at #WAMerlot: very light, very smooth. Scrumdiddlyumptious! Tried “Shameless Hussy” @hardrow at #WAMerlot: sexy; it’s nibbling my tongue. Tried ’07 “Traditions” @milbrantvino at #WAMerlot: very cherry, calm splash against my twaste buds. Tried “Reserve” @MaryhillWinery at #WAMerlot: it’s like a summer day picnic without humidity or ants. Thanks, @SeaWineOutlet! [...]
