Sometimes I’ll flip through my photo library and one immediately pops out that conjures up some emotion. This one’s focused on a specific experience. One that seems to be hurdling uncontrollably downhill. And that’s a combination of what I call “web page crap” and “crap experience”. One leads to the other. The web page crap, […]

Get my Phoenix photo book for free (through 06/19/22).
In December 2019, I flew down to Phoenix, Arizona to meet my dad and to watch the Cleveland Browns play the Arizona Cardinals. Since I was there a few days early, I walked the streets with camera in hand and visited coffee shops, restaurants, bars and art installations. Photography (and video) is a fairly recent […]

Deep fried Oreos.
March 27, 2004. At least that’s the date on the Oreo picture. It was one of our first trips to New York. It might have even been our very first trip. I like this picture for a number of sentimental reasons. I also like this image for the simplicity in its message. I’ll go back […]

Consume *this*. (05/07/22)
Random thoughts I wonder how difficult it’d be to start a dollar dog food truck. Boil hot dogs, plop them into a fresh bun and provide all the fixings. $1 each. No more. No less. Digital currency only. We were discussing this over a beer this week: As we neared the end of our beers, […]

Skylines and branding
Newspapers have owned very prominent pieces of real estate for a long time. Sometimes, they’re the crown jewels of skyline. What does it say from a branding perspective when you don’t have that anymore? https://www.axios.com/newsrooms-abandoned-pandemic-real-estate-5ac351eb-3b31-4c69-b3c8-3281573c4d9a.html I think of the New York Times building on 8th Avenue in New York City.

How do we do our jobs better in a connected, creator economy world?
What’s the difference between running a newsletter and running a blog? How is this any different from banning a staffer from using Twitter? https://simonowens.substack.com/p/should-publishers-allow-their-journalists This is a great article, asking great questions, especially as they relate to side hustles or general after-work hours education.

My published books
2020 was a crazy year. So crazy, I published my first two books. They won’t ever be bestsellers, however it was an itch I wanted to scratch.
