Bio:

Editor-in-Chief for SiliconANGLE.

I’ve nearly a decade and a half worth of experience in blogging (we used to call them “online diaries” in my day, sonny). I’ve been a professional coder, startup executive, bootstrapper, tech support phone jockey, network admin and amongst other things for about a month I was an accountant for a synagogue.

Bottom line: You have questions, I have answers (and an interesting story to go with it). Ask away.

I used to be an Associate Editor for Mashable.

Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins wrote a new blog post: Why is it OK for Women to Kidnap Children and Cross International Borders? 1 week, 4 days ago

One thing I’ve never understood is why kidnapping children across the border of countries is something, as a planet, we’re OK with.

I say this because Venture Capitalist Mark Suster has put out a public plea for help with regard to a friend of his who’s had this happen to him. Mark [...]

Checking out SiliconAngle – great content here so far! However, I noticed Web Page Load Time can be pretty bad… I understand you are growing, but you don’t want to go the way of Friendster If you would like to explore user experience monitoring aka APM – Application Performance Management, I can help. Digg.com is a user of our stuff in your space.

No worries, Len. Usually I just link the image to the source, but I’m trying to implement a more thorough editorial style now.
