Taking it all in…(0)

This blog has sat with very few updates over the past few months. There are good reasons and bad ones for this. I’m going to let all of you in on an inner monologue that I’ve had about this site for awhile. If you follow me on Twitter and Tumblr you probably know that I [...]

Build Better Mobile Experiences, Not Watered Down Websites(1)

You reach for your mobile phone, but not to make a call. More than likely, you intend to do something else. Perhaps send a text message, an email or utilize a web application to perform some other special task. The latter is fairly new to all of us. The mobile web may be in its [...]

Module Midwest Digital Strategy Conference Wrap-up(3)

I had the pleasure of being part of the Module 09 Midwest Digital Strategy conference. Based on the response of people that attended, and the traffic online it was a huge success. We were able to take the top top trend on Twitter beating out Hannah Montana, and Oprah. There was a lot of live [...]

Time for a site refresh(0)

For those of you that have watched this site over the past few years you’ve probably noticed one thing. I like to give it a facelift pretty frequently. It had been awhile since the last refresh and it was time. I stayed with Wordpress again, still love it! I added in a few new features [...]

Sneak Peak at the Hart Associates office(0)

This is the new agency that I work for. Figured that I would show everyone a little sneak peak of the office.

Change has come to Whitehouse.gov, but what is still missing?(0)

Yesterday was a great day in history for the United States. The whole day was filled with moments that will forever be referenced in the coming days. Then after talking about how fantastic it was to see the changing of the guard even happening online, something was brought up that really caught me off guard. [...]

What I learned from being a paperboy(0)

Like most boys when I was 13-14, I wanted to make money to blow on useless crap. What was the easiest way to do that? You either mow lawns, or become a paperboy. I did both. Mowing lawns was my first business that I ever started. That is a whole other story, for another post. [...]

A more productive brainstorm(0)

Brainstorms are key to the creative process. The problem is that they can also put a huge fat creativity block on your process if you aren’t careful. I wanted to share some ideas on having a better brainstorming session.
A brainstorm can be just a one person party, but I’ve found that the best ideas just [...]
