The JFK Jr. Forum

Harvard University approached my team at ISITE Design with a number of really important goals for this project. These included providing a new platform for the delivery of a generation of rich video content of world leaders visiting the JFK Jr. Forum at the Institute of Politics. The requirements for this complete rethink included a [...]

About Wendys

Working with the team at ISITE Design, we redesigned and redeveloped the Wendys corporate website and then launched it at aboutwendys.com. This new site, which was timed to the spinoff of the Arbys chain, vastly expanded the role of the corporate website to include community relations, corporate responsibility, international franchising and investor relations. The project [...]

Recently I shared this chart, courtesy of Mother Jones, on my Facebook page and was quickly challenged by a connection to explain what I thought it had to do with the current conversation about Benghazi. Here’s what I had to say: Well Paul, since you asked…What this data provides me with is confirmation of what, [...]

Anywhere I’ve experienced success in my life can be directly attributed to the lessons my mother taught me: Show up no matter what. Do your best. Work hard. Don’t take no for an answer. Don’t make excuses. For those that never knew her…All I can say is I haven’t the words to describe the courage [...]

Let me tell you something Bostonians: DON’T fucking change a thing about your life today. Do not let the bad guys win. Go about your lives secure in the knowledge that even if there was a September 11th scale event every single month, in this country, the most dangerous part of your day would still [...]

So excited…I was notified this evening that I’ve been selected for the Google Glass explorer program. This is some serious Willy Wonka golden ticket action for me. It feels like I won the lottery. The #ifihadaglass contest was to share in a tweet or on Google+ what I, as an individual, would do with my [...]

I just got notice that I’ve been selected to speak at DrupalCon this year! This will be my first time speaking at the premier, annual Drupal community event.  The title of my session is So Happy Together (Content Strategists and Project Managers Are) and I will be talking about, well, content strategy and project management. This [...]

For me, the most interesting aspect  of Marco Rubio’s ill-fated rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union Address this week wasn’t the Senator’s palpable, obvious difficulty with nerve. As entertaining as the stuttering, stammering, and dry-mouth was to behold,  it is the ongoing reaction of my Conservative friends and associates that I’m enjoying most. [...]

This past Sunday, while cooking a delicious brunch of fresh berries, pancakes, and bacon, Jackie became frustrated. “I’ve toasted it and fried it in the pan…But it won’t  get crispy.” She remarked, with considerable dismay. Jackie is her own toughest critic when it comes to cooking. I honestly can’t recall a meal she’s presented without [...]

Now that another doomsday prophecy has been debunked we can focus on the true importance of December 21. Happy Winter Solstice day! Winter solstice is officially the first day of winter and occurs when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. Tonight will be the longest night of the year. Most [...]

I looked up in the sky last night and noticed Jupiter, dancing with the moon and staring back down at me. For some reason at this same moment I heard a voice in my head, and it said: Remember when you wrote stuff? Yes Jupiter. I see you up there…And I do remember writing stuff. [...]

My friends Mike, Julian and I narrowly escaped potential disaster yesterday after being goaded into trying to swim out to a big rock pile off a beach in Gloucester. From the beach at the end of Brace Cove road at the top of the map below, to the light colored rock pile at the bottom, [...]
