You can call me a Daddy blogger

Thursday, March 4, 2010

I’ve worked on a number of interesting projects in the last year, but the one I started a few weeks ago is the most personal. And, I suspect, it will be the most fun. I’ve started to work with Keith Kriegler (follow him on Twitter!), the founder of MyDadnMe.com, a social website for families that [...]

Last.fm: My new favorite iPhone app

Pardon the self promotion

Friday, January 8, 2010
