About this site
This is my personal bastion of blather unrelated to my business, including but not limited to: family pictures, cool gadgets, music, pop culture and moderate media punditry unrelated to Dallas / Fort Worth. If I haven't posted lately, it means I'm busy on the day job. You can follow me more frequently on Twitter. More details and contact info here.-

How “Yes, and…” at Dallas Comedy House turns ten strangers into a big ball of funny
We quickly learn that support is the name of the game -- this particular philosophy of improv, the same that has spawned countless Saturday Night Live and Comedy Central stars, is all based on the concept of "Yes, and..." While much drama is based on conflict, good improv is based on agreement and amplification.Banjo, The Best Dog Ever™
There’s an old saying that “I wish I could be half the man my dog thinks I am.” That’s a good one. But someday, I also hope to become half the man my dog was.The Wedding Toast
I encounter far too many people in this world who are dead behind the eyes — Houston isn’t one of them. He is a real man in the greatest sense, and his powers of perception and his constant search for what is real and genuine in a fast-food world will continue to enrich both your lives.Why I think the economy is even scarier than I thought

[Kevin] Sack might be surprised to see our database of every candidate, official, and contributor in our region-something the newspaper does not provide. He might be appalled to learn that mere citizens reported on elections in towns that journalists eschew. When we cover mundane things, we get hundreds of responses and thousands of eyeballs-partly because of technologies Sack fears, delivering unique and wanted information to each individual.Mud starts flying in Dallas District 9 Council race

When we put up our political database, we certainly hoped to generate thoughtful discussion and debate about local elections. We didn't expect to become a battlefield of leaked information, mis-information and confusing whodunits.Lessons from the launch Online Journalism Review 1/17/07 ...we launched a prototype entertainment site; won an EPpy award; nearly fell to pieces; and made more mistakes than we can count -- But we’ve learned some invaluable lessons about local digital media along the way.
