Some Personal News…
Nearly two years ago, I joined VentureBeat to partake in an opportunity to write about interesting companies, and indeed I have.

Changing Winds
When I moved to San Francisco nearly eight years ago, I did so to explore the roots of technology and to gain a better understanding of how people can use the Internet and its byproducts to better their lives.

The Great Tech Debate Presidential Candidates Should Be Having
Last week, TechCrunch held its semi-annual technology conference in New York City. And while there’s typically nothing surprising about it, there was one notable first for the publication: a presidential candidate took the stage to address the community.

Highlight’s Roll for iOS App Is Great For Quickly Sharing Photos With Friends, But Initially Lacks Unique Features
Whatever happened to Highlight? You remember the app — it’s a location-based service that helped you find people near you in an almost serendipitous-type manner. Turns out that it’s still around and the company is still chugging away, especially after raising $4 million in December 2013. The company just launched its first standalone app today called […]

Priime for iOS is a Photo Editing App With Pro Photographer-Curated Styles To Make Your Pics Look Good
As some of you may know, I have a habit of taking photographs practically everywhere I go. Usually I’m lugging around a Canon 7D dSLR, but nearly all the time I have on hand my iPhone. I don’t fancy myself a professional photographer so when I browse through Instagram, EyeEm, Flickr, and Facebook and see […]
Charlene Li’s ‘The Engaged Leader’ Tells Executives How To Lead Without Fearing Social Technology
Technology can be a scary thing. No matter whether you’re trying to figure out ephemeral messaging apps like Snapchat, why you’d want to use a live-streaming service like Meerkat, or simply what’s your return on using Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. But imagine how difficult it could be for corporate executives who want to try and control […]
In ‘Captivology’, Ben Parr Proves His Thesis Around Attention And Helps Us Understand The Factors That Drive It
We all seek to gain attention. Whether it be for ourselves or for a third-party company, brand, cause, or product, getting people to notice and shift their focus towards it is not exactly an exact science.
