Blogs with Balls: The Android App

30 April 2010

You can’t keep holding conferences about “the future of sports media” without having some sort of mobile offering of your own; it’s just unseemly. This was the problem we were facing. Fortunately for us, the fine folks at Notice Software helped us to get our act together and create an iPhone and Android app in [...]

Unintended Consequences Review: A Few Months Into The Daily Bunch

14 April 2010

I’ve been actively distributing The Daily Bunch via email since November 2009 (technically longer than that, but in a very small closed beta).

Inspired by various discussions at SXSW, as well as the roles that technology like Foursquare/Gowalla, Twitter, Nike+, Hulu, iTunes and all sorts of other things that didn’t exist a decade ago are playing in my life — and the digital information streams that each one generates — I’ve decided to start delving deeper into the [...]

Last week, my collaboration with Amber Music — the new ambermusic.com and accompanying Tumblr-powered blog — officially launched. I won’t bore you with too much project management minutia; like any project, it took a little longer than everyone had hoped and had its moments of frustrating communication difficulties. But we ended up with a finished [...]

A few weeks back, my fellow Blogs with Balls founders and I got asked to participate in a “Sports & Social Media: Predictions for 2010″ compilation put together by Jason Peck.  Today the resulting e-book was published and it looks great. My hat goes off to Jason for putting together a report that’s professional without [...]

It started as a trial run with a new application called Tumblr. It evolved into a “this is too easy for me to NOT do it” exercise. Eventually it grew into an obsession.  5,000 entries later, it could be denied no longer — something was happening here, and even if I didn’t know what it [...]

The Future of Email

23 November 2009

Reading Louis Gray’s thoughts on activity streams and email got me thinking about mail and the web and where we might be headed. I’m with Louis — while the promise of activity streams is intriguing, I’m pretty skeptical when I hear someone sounding the death knell for email as a medium. I would think that [...]

This post was inspired by my friend Wade — the current envy of our office — who’s driving across the country and documenting the whole thing in near real-time at 26days.tumblr.com. (He also took that picture above) Stop for a second and consider what traveling looked like a decade ago: The internet (then known as [...]

In what seems to be unintentionally growing into a twice-a-year ritual, I’ve uncorked yet another reworking of kylebunch.com and my other Bunch sites. For most of you it won’t feel like any major change. But it solves a few problems that had bothered me since the release of the last version back in June. Here’s [...]
