MSU Impact on Michigan
Michigan State University launched a new site that shows how MSU has had an important role in strengthening the state of Michigan. This is just one example of how Michigan has such great universities that help mold incredible talent. Go check it out and see just how much of an impact MSU students and alumni have on this great state!
I’m proud to be a Spartan and will bleed green forever.
Go Green!
The Self-Inflicted Illness
Ignorance is a crippling disease as it spreads by airborne transmission past one person’s lips to another’s ears, who in return only starts the process over again. The epidemic cares not if you’re liberal or conservative, man or woman, white, black, purple or any color of the spectrum. It doesn’t care what god you pray to at night, or how much money you make. It is a virus that can only be stopped by the immunity called knowledge. This miracle drug is free of charge and available to anyone who seeks it. So instead of being guilty of transmitting this sickness, check your facts before you open your mouth and start the recovery.

“Key Leaders Discuss How Detroit is Revolutionizing the IT Industry, Outpacing Silicon Valley”
That’s right! I will be participating in a panel of key leaders on Thursday February 27, 2013! We will be discussing how the IT industry is growing right here in the Detroit Metro Area. So much so, that it is making people take notice! The topic really hits home for me…literally!!
I’m proud to say that I work in the area helping create a tech boom! Livio is a prime example of what cool and innovative tech can be created in the Detroit Metro Area. I will be sure to talk about this and more at the panel so stop by and get some insight on how things are going in the area!
The whole conference will be taking place at the Motor City Casino. Check out this link for more details!
The Anywhere Jukebox
I’ve always had a hard time creating playlists for parties. I don’t tend to listen to the top 40’s and I have no idea what kind of music people really want to hear at the party. So I’ve been working on a few solutions for finding a good way to allow for crowd sourced music curation, because I hate when people unplug the stereo to plug in their phone/mp3 player to listen to one song!! Most of the projects involve writing custom apps and running local web servers. However, in a dire need for a solution for an upcoming party that was only days away and no time to finish writing code I had an idea.
Spotify + collaborative playlists.

I’m speaking at Mobile Madness Motor City Event
Hey, if you are in the Detroit Metro area tomorrow (1/17/2013) you should come check out the Mobile Madness Motor City event. I will be on a panel with a few other professionals in the industry talking about mobile apps and their place in automotive space. It should be a pretty cool event!
Hope to see you there!
…WE’RE DOING IT LIVE!!!
Well I got to do my first large publication interview…and it was live! Although the idea of “live” made me nervous for my first video gig, I had a lot of great things to say about Livio and the Michigan tech boom, including the new Freemium model that Livio is doing to help get smaller app companies into the automotive market. Not to mention the shout out to Big Ten schools!!
After finishing the interview the best advice I can give would be to remember there is a reason they are interviewing you. You’re the smartest person in the room on the subject you’re about to talk about, so be confident.
Check out the link to a video and brief article about Livio!
