At midnight tonight, voting will be closed and we will soon announce the speakers for Ignite Detroit 3! Make sure to get your votes in before it’s over. Remember, we will be choosing fifteen speakers from the topics that were presented. Ten speakers are chosen by the community, and five of them are chosen by [...]

Ableton released an update for Ableton Live today that includes a few new features, including enhanced stability, automatic updating, and a feature that many producers I’m sure are glad to see, the ability to upload tracks directly to Soundcloud. I think this is very big news for Ableton users, as it seems that the two [...]

I will be DJing at Amnesia in MotorCity Casino Hotel for the next installment of Social Media Club Detroit, hosted by Jason Falls. Jason Falls will be talking about his new book, No BS Social Media, in which he shows businesses a practical guide for social media strategy, with a focus on results, and how [...]

I am proud to once again be a part of Ignite Detroit, which is bringing the sequel to The Sound Board at Motor City Casino Hotel on April 14th, 2011. If you’re not familiar with Ignite events, it is a public speaking competition that is intended to start the flow of ideas in the community. [...]

Every Tuesday, tweeters from all over Metro Detroit gather at various cafes to meet, network and discuss relevant issues about the digital marketplace. It’s called Tweetea. I’ve been a part of the community since the very beginning, and have found it to be very rewarding. Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 presented somewhat of a challenge for [...]

Yesterday, Chevy announced the teams for the 2011 Chevy SXSW Road Trip. Last year’s challenge included one team from Detroit, and seven other teams from around the country. The teams competed with each other by completing challenges along the way, and getting help from their friends back home through social media. Despite being met with [...]

Geeks like me surely got a massive erection the day it was announced that a sequel to Tron was being made, featuring Jeff Bridges, with music provided by Daft Punk. I nearly had an embolism pop when I saw the twenty minute preview a couple weeks ago. I decided I wanted to do something to [...]

Tonight is the first session of Startup Weekend: Detroit. Many of Detroit’s entrepreneurs will be getting together at TechTown to come up with new business ideas. The winners will receive $5000 to start up their business. It’s a mental exercise that gets the flow of ideas going and just one piece of the puzzle that [...]

I wanted to announce the location of the #freebiscuit tweetup this week, but I’m still finalizing the arrangements. It’s actually looking out to be a pretty epic event. Maybe not as epic as the Epic Tweetup, but close. I will be DJing this event alongside a few other Twitter celebrity guest DJs. It’s going to [...]

First off, I want to thank everyone for all of the support i’ve gotten so far. In just a few short days, 13 people have signed up for a free biscuit, but I still need your help to reach my goal of 50. Why am I doing this? It’s not because I think everyone is dying for a Red [...]

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I changed my avatar and Bio: You may be asking yourself, “What’s the reason for all this bragging?” Well, someone out there is such a big fan, that they actually took the time to create a fake profile of me. I consider this to [...]

Here I go again on my own. I have recently moved on from the group, Lune Noir, and I’ve got some big plans for the future. Word to the homey Boof, we had some great times and made four stellar mixtapes. Over the past couple years he has been working on his new project, Cry [...]

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 [...]

Excuse the poor blog title. I wanted to make it twitter friendly. That’s how lazy I’m becoming. A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of getting my first radio interview at a college radio station by a good friend of mine. I helped Robo Robb setup his blog, and I also booked him at [...]

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 [...]
