Today Peter Caputa and I were talking on IM about my frustration with finding contributors for my Exploit Boston! event guide/calendar website.

Shimon Rura took a few photos at the Genius Workshop dinner that we hosted last night at Henrietta's Table in Harvard Square. We've been talking about doing this event for a couple months so it was exciting to see the first event actually take place. A few people asked us why the word ...
Live Broadcast of Exploit Boston! Radio … right now!
It's been a long, long time since I've done a live broadcast of my internet radio station so I thought I'd test it out tonight and see if my computer can handle it while I'm also using other applications. I'm playing newish tunes from Rose Polenzani, Van Elk and then an assortment of other ......

More Action Less Activity
Gregor's weblog entry quoting Mark Forster about action versus activity reminded me of something I should add to my list of 2005 aspirations: picking projects and collaborations that involve action and not just being busy. It's difficult sometimes (oh, who am I kidding: all of the time!) to figure out what projects I ...

I was poking around flickr earlier to see if anyone had posted photos from this morning's rally and came across this excellent photo of Tom Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots. [Originally uploaded by Ol' Mr Boston.]
Sondre Lerche Joins Elvis Costello on US Tour in April
One of my top ten favorite musicians, Sondre Lerche, will be joining Elvis Costello on the April leg of Elvis' tour around parts of the United States. From the looks of the tour schedule, they won't be stopping in Boston or anywhere else along the East Coast. Hopefully there will be more dates announced ......
