About

I’m a twenty-something lives in Chicago and who subscribes wholeheartedly to the philosophy that “twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did do.”  Naturally this has led me to make plenty of mistakes over the years, but at least I have some good stories to tell.  This is my personal blog, where I share these stories, other writing of mine, organize my thoughts on various topics, and generally post about everything that doesn’t quite fit into my other work.

100 things about me

Explanation of the name of my blog

My links on Delicious.

I also contribute to a variety of other sites and traditional print (or dead tree) media.  If you would like a more complete list of where my work appears/who I’ve written for and general professional credentials, email me or check out my profile on LinkedIn.  In short form, I’ve worked from everyone from major players like AOL and the Knight Foundation (and I have so much respect for their mission that I’d do it for free) to startups that have the passion to change the world.
