  • Quote of the Day

    “Last night a friend was telling me that I was arrogant, in a nice way — which I took as a compliment. I really think I’m audacious. I learned early in life that the hard part of doing something big is deciding to do it. From there it’s often a lot easier than people think… Continue Reading

  • @ev interview at ONA09: video on demand

    Over 1,000 people were at the [ONA09 keynote](http://conference.journalists.org/), probably the largest group I’ve presented before.
