Jason Fried: Why You Can’t Work at Work

jason-fried-video

big think has a great video of Jason Fried talking about how you can’t work at work. Jason is the founder of 37Signals and the co-writer of Rework. In my current position, I really don’t go to many meetings and the meetings I do have are quick, stay on point and valuable.

SearchExchange 2010

I recently spoke in Charlotte during the SEO and PPC conference, SearchExchange. It was a great event and the location couldn’t have been better. The only issue I had with the event was the lack of WiFi within the event, but I was able to hop onto a few open signals outside of the theatre in between sessions.

The RavenTools team was in attendance and kept a running blog of each speaker. (My PPC session). I was lucky enough to have Benjamin Rudolph, David Kyle and Kate Morris present during the same session.

2011 NHL All-Star Game

I moved to Chapel Hill in 1994. Having played hockey since I was 2 and on 2 college teams (University of Pittsburgh and Indiana University of Pennsylvania) I quickly joined a men’s league team. We played at the old Daniel Boone rink in Hillsborough. I had actually skated at the rink while playing as a teenager. It was horrid back in 1989 and even worse in 1994. Eventually a new rink was built in Hillsborough and another was built in Raleigh.
