I had to make a choice. If you’ve known me the past couple years, you’d have seen that I’ve spent a lot of time away, and that I’ve been doing two different jobs. Well, instead of living a second life, I’ve opted for some changes.

I’m moderating a session on Friday, organizing runs every day at 8, and generally have time between a bunch of things. I want to meet you!

It’s difficult to define progress when surrounded by uncertainty. Without a clear picture of progress, it’s challenging to focus and move ahead.

Oh, 2009, the places you’ve taken me, and the places you haven’t. Once again it’s that time to look back.

Is there any doubt that email is a serious timesuck? I've built a small web tool that helps you to get the heck away from email—so that you can do real work on the job, or vacation in peace. If you like what I write about here, I think you'll enjoy AwayFind.
For 8 years I've run a small tech/productivity consultancy in DC. These days I focus on AwayFind, a web startup that helps people to stop checking their email. I also put a lot of energy into the DC tech community as the organizer for Bootstrap Maryland and co-organizer of Ignite DC. I'm open to speaking and partnership opportunities.
