So, it turns out that I somehow got really busy....as in, I have multiple plans every day for about 9 days straight. I was going to update and try and put something solid together, but I'm pretty exhausted right now. Rather than go halfway with a good topic, I'm going all-the-way with a non-topic. Go me. Upcoming posts: Seeing Mahler's Symphony No. 2 at Tanglewood Meeting with Mike Volpe (@mvolpe)at HubSpot ...
First: Happy Birthday, dad. He's 52 today. Second: Happy Birthday, Alexi. He's 27 today. Third: Happy Birthday, Ron and Chad. And I'm sure many others. Though, I'm not sure how old they are. Friday night, I picked up a friend of mine in Framingham and we headed to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to see what all they had. Since I've been "working from home" for so long, I rarely ...
Yesterday, I ended up going to Harvard Square in search of some cigars - which I've recently grown to enjoy on an occasional basis. I ended up at Leavitt and Peirce (I guess formal names allow for grammatical rule-breaking), which is one of the coolest stores I've been to in a long time - one I hope to return to before I leave. It's said to have been around ...
So, last night, I went to the Charles River to get pictures of the fireworks and the Boston Pops show. Asking my roommates where to go, they suggested Memorial Drive by MIT, which is on the river and less than two miles away. Around 8:00, I walked out there and started taking pictures. I thought there must have been 200,000 people there, and later heard there were over half ...
Yesterday, I was drawing a pretty big blank as far as what to post here. So, I reached out into the collective consciousness, and asked people what they wanted to hear about. Dan London and Al Scillitani both gave good feedback, and said they wanted to hear more about personal experiences and conversations around town. Perfect. Consider this Round 1. === Last night, I got home around 1am after hanging out with ...
Today was spent mostly tying up loose ends and getting settled in work-wise. I spent a good part of the day in Harvard Square. After realizing that all of the coffee shops were probably completely packed, I settled on a Starbucks since I've got tmobile account. This led to overhearing "ketamine, DXM and PCP" in a conversation between a guy and a girl who appeared to be of college age. ...
I've been here less than 36 hours and am already having a phenomenal time. Last night, after a quick nap, I met up with Wayne Sutton (@waynesutton) and Chris Owens (@ocell). If you're in online marketing, especially social media, and you don't know Wayne Sutton, get familiar with him. He not only gets it, he also puts the work into it. If someone were to hire him to let him ...
So, I'm leaving for Boston on Saturday morning. I expect to get in to my new place in East Cambridge pretty late at night. Sunday, I'll be tooling around, finding coffee shops, getting familiar with the areas, and perhaps buying some running shoes to add another option for fitness. I was hoping to get out on the bike, but it looks like it's going to rain. Which isn't necessarily ...
