Yesterday we took a trip to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It was a good time with Brian Whalley, Jason Allgire and Heather. I had these grand dreams of taking lots of pictures this year to make all the people who didn’t go jealous. At the end of the day I only took a few, below. …

My Recent Video Celebrity Status
To say that I’ve been busy lately is an understatement. I’ve been crazy busy. Things are starting to get exciting with our little interactive campus map project and HubSpot continues to grow at hockey stick clips. The one interesting piece of content I can share is a couple of the recent videos that HubSpot has…
Newest Pet Project: Foursquare Badge Guide
I’ve been playing around with foursquare for a few weeks now and have to say that it’s quite addicting little game. What makes it so much fun is because of all the reasons that twitter was initially fun. It’s not overpopulated, yet, and all the people that I follow are mostly in Boston so it’s…
Book Review: Lords of Finance
I recently read Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World. I realize that isn’t my typical reading material, but it was a fascinating read nonetheless. Over the last few years I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t just read for enjoyment. Previously I mostly read fantasy and science fiction novels, but now…
Western Caribbean Cruise 2010
The first week of February, Heather and I took a much needed vacation. If we have to live in the COLD weather that is Boston, at least we can get away in the middle of winter for a trip to warmer weather. So we took a trip on the Carnival Liberty cruise ship to the…
Saints Win the Superbowl and My Story as a Lifetime Saints Fan
I’ve been a Saints fan my whole life. The first time I entered the Superdome I was three and went to a game with my Papa. He had season tickets as he always did. I still remember that first visit and how BIG and amazing the inside of that dome was. I was born in…
Why Avatar Will Change the Way We Go To the Movies
Earlier this week I went and saw the movie Avatar in 3D. Now 3D movies are nothing new and they seem to go in and out of style faster than tie-dye shirts. I think they first popped up in the 50’s, right? The 3D experience has never been one of those things that have been…
Happy Thanksgiving: Rejoice in the Present
An ancient Chinese proverb goes, “yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future and today is a present.” I think that quote sums up so much in just a few words. There is nothing to be gained in living in the past and even with all the planning in the world we are never sure…
10 Things I Miss About South Carolina
This past weekend I took a wonderful trip back to South Carolina for some R&R. I’m also about to be a first time uncle as my younger brother is about to have his first child. I thought it was scary enough when my younger brother got married before me, but now he’s about to have…
Wildside: 80’s Hair Metal Brought Back to Life
Last weekend one of my coworkers at HubSpot’s band was playing out in Waltham. What a great opportunity to support a coworker and listen to some live music! To top it off they are an 80’s hair metal cover band! That’s right lots of AC/DC, GNR, Bon Jovi and the rest of the great tunes…
