Back in March I posted a blog about a team of Detroiters and a community of supporters that were competing in a contest against seven other cities for the chance to win an “Epic Tweetup” in their hometown, and what they were doing for the city of Detroit. I confronted the naysayers, inspired the believers [...]
A lot has happened since my recent blog posting about Twitter’s failed attempt at adding native support for re-tweets. My rabble-rousing may or may not have had any effect on the outcome, but I’m extremely happy with it nonetheless. First, it should be noted that another controversy was stirred up on Twitter when it was [...]
I came to a startling revelation today about Twitter. I noticed that people have been re-tweeting me for a long time without me noticing. I dug around a little bit to see what was going on, and I’m absolutely livid that Twitter has dropped the proverbial ball so badly. For those of you who joined [...]
Detroit’s online community has pulled together this week to support our home team in the Chevy South-by-Southwest (#DETChevySXSW on Twitter) road trip challenge. Four professionals from Detroit’s online community were chosen to represent our city, and compete against seven teams from other cities as they drive a Chevy Traverse down to Austin and complete missions [...]

I certainly believe this country needs a lot less laws, so in a way that makes me somewhat of an anarchist. I’m all about rolling back the last 100 years and getting [...]
Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a menu tasting at Olga’s Kitchen in Sterling Heights. Olga’s has always been a Detroit favorite of mine. Their new menu items were very impressive, and I had a great time. The first time I visited Olga’s kitchen was when I was very young, probably about [...]
It’s been two weeks since I attended Startup Weekend Detroit. (#swd09 on Twitter)I have been meaning to write about it, but haven’t had the time. It was a very productive, “workshop” style gathering of entrepreneurs and social media gurus from around the area that came together to create new ideas for businesses in order to [...]
Last night I gave a presentation at a Tweetup at Goldfish Tea in Royal Oak about five free utilities that one can use on their remote web server to provide all kinds of solutions. PHP Timeclock – Setup a timeclock for your employees to clock in and out of work through a web browser. WordPress [...]
