    I woke up early (5 AM) to work at a soup kitchen on Christmas Day. I love driving around on Christmas day, because the streets are empty. I stopped at a Starbucks (shocked that they were open), and was able to park (an amazing feat itself) and then stroll across one of the busiest streets…

    I’m not a networker. I’ll give you a second to get over the shock. I’ve always operated under the impression that in the technical world, doing great work far outweighs who you know and who knows you, and that “networking” is left to the business types. In the corporate world, this holds true. You do…

    I heard some rumors over the weekend, and now TechCrunch is reporting that CompUSA is shutting down. Good. They shut down the store nearest me in Maryland a while back. It was replaced by a Micro Center, a chain I had never heard of. To put it simply, they nailed it. A haven for both…

    One of my friends pointed out to me that a search for dc metro times on Google shows my lil’ web app in third place. Nice! Peter of iStrategyLabs recommended that I get it it’s own domain name, no more piggybacking off skeevisarts.com (which I redesigned by the way, check it out!!) and see what…

    I had been planning on writing my thoughts on this for a while, but spurred on by the announcement of a local tech incubator launching in the coming months, I felt it was time to write something. Tech entrepreneurs, who dedicate so much of their lives to connecting people regardless of geographic location, still rely…

    Background: Startup Weekend is an idea where area developers/entrepreneurs/geeks gather and, from idea selection to launch, develop a web application, and hopefully start a bona fide company out of it. DC’s Startup Weekend is this weekend. I never signed up because of various other commitments going on, but I am proud to be a cosponsor…
