Here’s the thing: I really don’t care what your personal opinion is on anything. If you want to believe that the Flying Spaghetti Monster will condemn us all to the Molten Mozarella Pits for not sacrificing daily at its altar, more power to you! If you want to believe gay people getting married will usher in an eternal age of terror, that’s your choice to make (I may not agree with it, but it’s yours). But the instant, the very instant you change that opinion into action - that moment you make laws forcing anyone to worship at your altar, or restrict someone’s right to marry who they want, or take away freedoms and protections under the law due to skin color or sexuality, that coldly self-involved second when you treat me (or anyone else) as a thing, as an object, as a slave with no right to self determination or free will, well, my friend, that’s when my intolerance kicks into high gear.

About

On my better days, I call myself an entrepreneur. Mostly I like to play in the nexus of technology and the Internet.

I run a consulting company that works with entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. S.I. has worked with a broad base of clientele including feature films, TV series, A-list talent, online content creators, Multi Channel Networks, The Department of Defense, DARPA, and The Congressional Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism (CPWMD).

I'm also the CEO of a stealth startup working to power the next phase of mainstream media (more on that soon.) At nights and on weekends I build things that I think should exist (online and off.)

Prior to this, I was the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip Networks, where you can discover the best in original web series. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest such as politics, education, the future of mass media, and the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases awesome online video.

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
