  • How To Get Noticed Online

    For those of you wondering, this is how I see myself. I’ve conducted experiments before, but the one I’m going to embark on for the next week will potentially be the most difficult I’ve ever challenged myself with. If you followed me online in December 2014, you’ll recall the Instagram Experiment I embarked upon in the…

  • Listening Party Volume #6 – Kal Penn on the Nerdist Podcast

    The Nerdist Podcast For the last year or so, I’ve had the Nerdist Podcast in my player. They do 2-3 podcasts a week with comedians, entertainers and cool Bills like Bill Nye and Bill Gates. If I know the person they’re talking to, I’ll listen to the show. This week, Kal Penn (of Harold and…

    Millions of man-hours on the internet are lost every day to petty fights about PC vs. Mac, Android vs. iOS, or Starbucks vs. Tim Hortons (not a coffee drinker, but I assume).

  • My Student Debt

    Mo’ money…mo’ problems, said no one, ever. Another quick thought: I have been out of school for 3 years (completed all requirements in Dec. 2011). I wasn’t particularly careful with money during my 5 years of schooling, but I wasn’t wasteful either, and I also worked for most of that time. I amassed just over…

  • On Memory

    It’s been a while since I did a good old fashioned blog post. I’ve been doing a lot of hard-core thinking about big ideas the last couple of years, trying to figure out the best way to explore my thoughts on things that are really important to me but are hard to talk about in…

  • This Week in Unwind Media (March 10-16)

  • East Meets West #4 – I’ll Edit This Out

    This week, we discuss the societal implications of the recent supreme court ruling on physician assisted suicide, discuss CSIS and the new terrorism laws, and finally wonder to ourselves how Target… New on @UnwindMedia East Meets West #4 – I’ll Edit This Out – http://t.co/DGxrSwgQTo — Unwind Media (@UnwindMedia) February 13, 2015
