‘At Home in the Cube’: my guest post on Patrick Rhone’s ‘Minimal Mac’ blog
Patrick Rhone is one of the greatest guys I know. He’s a good friend, a dynamite Chipotle companion and someone I admire professionally — partly because he’s so adept at reinventing himself.
He’s been a technology consultant for a long time, but he’s recently made a name for himself as a world-class blogger and ‘curator.’
I was part of an amazing MacJury-podcast panel discussion yesterday on technology in education.

A year ago, Mike and his wife, Rachel, faced the ultimate horror: Their daughter, Daniele, killed herself. She was 24.
Now Mike has released a collection of his writing going back four decades, and is giving away the electronic book as a tribute to Daniele. More …
The Apple store in Minneapolis’ Uptown store opened this weekend, and I made a day of it with my son, my pal Mark Fawcett and his two boys. More …

A coworker once smiled knowingly — actually, it was more of a sneer — as he saw me getting on the elevator with an empty Subway cup. More …
Fox 9 interviewed me (and my son) about Apple’s new tablet, the much-anticipated iPad.
P.R. pro Arik Hanson interviewed me just after I gave a presentation about my ‘Twitter Means Business’ book to a gathering of Minnesota Public Relations Society of America members.
