Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography. Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.

Red Sox parade photos are nice but don’t forget to vote for John Kerry on Tuesday

My little entry about the Red Sox parade photos I took at their victory parade the other day are getting lots of clicky clicks thanks to Google. Well, that's nice and all. But also don't forget to vote for John Kerry on Tuesday. So ... please, please, please vote on Tuesday. I'm baffled when ......

Never Forget: The Internets Vets for Truth

The Internets Veterans For Truth are a few long-time bloggers, designers, and techies who decided (in slackerly fashion, around the end of last week) that some of the clips that've been floating around online needed to be seen by everybody.

The Red Sox Parade

Michael, Yves, Amy and I met up at the Central Square Starbucks at 8:15 this morning and wandered up Mass Ave to find a spot on Boylston Street for the Red Sox Parade/Rolling Rally. I took a bunch of photos with Michael's camera which he's uploaded as a Red Sox parade photo set at ......

Feedster-inspired dinner in Cambridge at Bombay Club

Scott Johnson was back in town so he invited people on the Berkman Thursday Weblog Writers Mailing List to get together for dinner at The Bombay Club tonight. Buzz Bruggeman and Tom LeVine were in Cambridge after the Pop!Tech Conference. Buzz told Shimon and I about his company ActiveWords, a Windows application that ...

The Switch

While trying to wade through a zillion weblogs after being in NYC for the past six days, I caught up with Yves writing about his 2003 switch from The Yankees to The Red Sox.

Basecamp

I'm evaluating Basecamp, online project management software, for a client and my own projects. I sent them (Basecamp HQ) an email about a feature request/curiosity. It seemed worthwhile to be able to associate due dates with tasks. They do provide deadlines with milestones and you can also cross-reference a to do list ...

The Red Sox Step Up

I told Michael the other day that the Red Sox finally, truly needed to step up. Who knew they could actually do it. Nice! I've been in NYC since Tuesday and haven't seen a single person on the subway wearing a Yankees hat, shirt, etc. Curious.

Photos from October Trip to Nebraska

During my trip to Nebraska last week I took oodles of photographs when I was back for my grandmother's funeral. The above photo was taken while my sister Amy and I were zooming along Highway 275 from Fremont on our way to the airport in Omaha for my flight home to Boston. I ...

Thoughts on Networking, Part 1

I dislike the word networking. I dislike this word very, very much. I was telling an aquintance about a new project/biz I'm working on with a friend and his response was "I guess it pays to network." Argh! Anyone who was online before 1996 might remember that before people were "networking" ...

Photos from last night’s Mix Tape Tuesday at the Paradise Lounge

Another fabulous evening of music at last night's Mix Tape Tuesday at the Paradise Lounge. I borrowed a friend's digital camera but forgot to charge up the batteries so the photo quality is not so great but here they are nonetheless. At one point there were a bunch of people watching the last ...

Live Blogging from the Vote for Change Finale Concert

Mike C. is blogging from the finale concert of Moveon.org and ACT's Vote for Change tour in DC. Or rather, he was until Bruce Springsteen got on stage to sing "Man on the Moon" with REM. The webcast audio is outstanding for those of us stuck at home. An earlier highlight was ...
