Epic storytelling, name dropping, and a 30-course dinner
Over the years, some of my students have asked me to recount stories from my “glory days” when I traveled the world on behalf of a TV news network. I always resisted, because I never liked it when the old-timers

Internet Week in New York City, Startup City?
We’ve just arrived in New York for Internet Week. Certainly, it’ll be a fruitful time for us: an MCDM booth at Startup City, a Happy Hour (already near capacity) in collaboration with Shauna Causey and Decide.com, and a tonload of friend-raising

Best video editing app for the “new” iPad? No contest…
Avid Studio is totally up to the task. Simple enough to be intuitive, powerful to make some fine tune edits. I think I fell out with iMovie on the Mac in 2008 (yucky interface), it does not redeem itself on

Higher Ed on the precipice: hacking a solution in April
I direct a highly-respected graduate program for professionals looking to engage and persuade through digital platforms. Over the last decade, that technology has severely disrupted business models that were once held sacrosanct in the industrial age: journalism, music, politics, mass communications. We
