Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 1:13PM I've decided that I'd like to give Jux a go as it's a much more beautiful blogging experience.
I'd love for you to pop over to http://life.srcasm.com to check it out and even add it to your RSS reader if you're interested in following along.
Let me know what you think in the comments here or my shooting me a tweet.
Friday, January 13, 2012 at 6:58PM I don't know how many introduction emails I get sent each and every day. It's got to be at least... 5! And every single time I have to do the same thing --
Well, I got fed up with doing that 5+ times per day (and apparently so did others):
4 every @500 intro email i get, wish there was single-click button that moved To: name -> BCC, & CC: name -> To: name. #IfWishesWereFishes

So I made a quick Chrome extension that solves my problem. Go ahead and install it and open an email, press "Reply All" and then click the new blue button in your Chrome extension bar and you should be all set.
Let me know if it works for you and if it helps you at all by emailing me or posting in the comments below. And while you're at it, look at what really keeps me (and my team going) during the day at GetBackstory.com. That product is wayyyy cooler than this extension.
Backstory enables websites to get to know each of their visitors and understand why they've visiting and how they're interacting with the site. Then we enable those sites to customize their content on the fly for each and every one and increase conversions (from tweets, to likes, to sales). And we do all of this with a single line of Javascript code.
So if you haven't looked at Backstory yet, what are you waiting for? I mean you'll have lots of time now that you don't have to copy and paste addresses in every email.

Friday, September 30, 2011 at 4:24PM While I try to use this blog for a lot of things that help others out, sometimes I have to just self-promote a little. For those of you who don't know, I'm a co-founder of GetMinders, WeWork Labs and GuyHaus (all based in NYC). One is a healthcare-related startup, one is an awesome office space for early-stage entrepreneurs and the last is my latest company which is focused on making ecommerce simple, useful and fun to use. Check out the article on FastCompany:
There's serial entrepreneurship--when someone starts company after company, handing over the reins at a certain point to focus again on the early stages of building a business. Then, there's simultaneous entrepreneurship, which involves starting and running several, not-necessarily-related ventures at once.Two famous examples of the simultaneous startup CEO are Jack Dorsey, with Twitter and Square, and Bill Gates, who ran the photography business Corbis alongside Microsoft. Now, a host of upstarts (like Citelighter, a company we wrote about in August) are trying to make this method work, sometimes financing one business with profits from the other.
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 1:03PM I was reading an interview of Sachin Agarwal on Mashable today and one quote stuck out so I figured I'd post it here so I can look back on it later on.
"Success means being able to do what I enjoy every single day."
