All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
Some time ago I read that the key to life is happiness, and that the key to happiness is simplicity, or something similar. Although incomplete and questionable, the phrase points to a refreshing, clear and powerful word: simple. For this reason, the [...]
With the SXSW Interactive festival just a few days away, I’m packing my bags for a new and intense experience. Check out what we’re going for: five days of compelling presentations from the brightest minds in emerging technology, scores of exciting networking [...]
Already in March and almost 2.2 million views later I came across a wonderful summary of 2010 that I wanted to leave on my blog. Enjoy it first and then allow me to add a paragraph of commentary. Searches continue in 2011. [...]

From Melbourne, we got the stupid ways to die, in reference to the carelessness with which people usually expose themselves in dangerous places. In this particular case by McCann, in relation to the city’s trains and the accidents they seek to reduce [...]
