Talking about myself
Life After Twitter
Photo by Troy Holden About a month ago, I was let go from Twitter. Everyone has their own view of what happened and why and I’d rather not add to the speculation. What I’ll talk about is my experience there, what I’ve been doing, and what I am working on.
2011 Theme Word: Nurture
It’s been over 6 months since I last blogged. What better time to start than the halfway point in the year? And what better topic than—New Year’s Resolutions. Luckily, mine wasn’t “blog more”. As in years past, rather than set New Year’s Resolutions, I’d adopted the practice of defining a theme word for the year. [...]
Our Vows
K: Coley, as your husband, your friend, and your partner, I promise to love and care for you. C: I pledge to you, Kevin, as my love, my friend, and my partner in life… to love you and care for you as long as we live. K: I promise to be dependable yet independent, C: [...]
The Meaning of Our Wedding Date
Update: We’re married! And our wedding date story was covered in the New York Times. We’ve also shared our vows as a public promise. When Coley and I got engaged in late 2008, the first question people asked us was, of course, Have you guys set a date yet? We got to talking about dates [...]
Time, Mental Readiness, and Productivity
Last September, Coley and I spent nine days at Redwood Forest Ranch. The ranch, located 45 mins off a dirt road between Fort Bragg and Willits, CA, was owned by an architect named Charles. The land includes three houses, all built by Charles with the help of his family. They are powered entirely by solar [...]
2010 Theme Word: Listen
Last year, I had the privilege of spending New Year’s Day with Tantek Çelik, Julie Melton, Matthew Levine, Silona Bonewald, Mark Trammell, April Buchert, and Jonathan Zittrain. We were gathered for LifeCamp 2008/2009, a regular meeting where we help our friends and peers both reflect on the past year and plan for the next. One [...]
From Dino to Bird: Moving from Raptr to Twitter
Update: Contrary to reporting, I’m not “overseeing Twitter’s products”. I’ll be a product manager. One of many people contributing to Twitter’s future. A couple of weeks ago, I announced that I had left Raptr to explore other options. Raptr was an incredible experience for me and I learned a lot there. I watched and helped [...]
Virgin America: How a Bad Website Can Kill Good Will
Please make sure you read updates below on how Virgin America resolved our issues with the help of Twitter. Great customer service there but the same couldn’t be said for their phone support at the time. Ever since Virgin America launched, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the opportunity to fly with them. I’m a frequent [...]
Best Hoodie Evar
I’m a big fan of hoodies. They’re versatile, warm, casual and extremely comfortable. There’s also a lot of really great designs for hoodies out there. For example, there’s a full zip up Storm Tropper hoodie. Last Christmas, I received a hoodie from my friend Diana. It was a black hoodie with black imprints of ninja [...]
Engaged
Originally, a blog post with a title of “Engaged” might have referred to the excellent conference I attended last weekend in Montréal by the name of Design Engaged. However, this time, it is not the case. As inspirational and involved as DE was, I’m afraid it pales in comparison to this different form of engagement. [...]
