Utterzcast: Green Guilt
Now that I have a 2-mile commute, I feel eco-smug. Do I feel guilty when I drive that distance? You bet! Am I making an effort to bike to work more? Absolutely- just not today.

Utterzcast: Dumb tools smarter?
Hearing constantly about the unreliability of Twitter, I wonder why people stay with it, and keep coming in droves. Actually I don’t wonder. Part of it is steady word of mouth/hype growth.

Utterzcast: Parts
This glowstick is just a small part of a great event in Boston last night: a Gary Vaynerchuk book signing, organized in great part by my friend Dmitri Gunn. Of course, when I got my stick I immediately clicked it apart, sending it across the bad hitting two young ladies *sorry about that* but no [...]
