    About Me I grew up in Oklahoma, and along with everyone here am slightly atypical from what you might expect. I've ridden my share of horses, actually corralled cattle, and have helped build one of the most innovative tech companies in Oklahoma. One of the only tech companies in Oklahoma. I have a borderline obsession with Ancient History and have loved Star Wars as long as I can remember. I read whenever I can, listen to audio books when I can't. A good movie is great, a bad movie with friends can be even better. And in whatever free time I get - I write.
    Position: SVP
    Favorite Projects: Every ONEsite community is so distinctive and unique. There is something incredible about the way each has grown and evolved after it first launch. And part of that comes from the people we work with - with every client we get to work with an incredibly talented group of people. Those independent ideas, thoughts, strategies, and suggestions have driven the platform to be the best in the market. So every project is my favorite - Clear Channel, Univision, BowlSpace. Their communities and the different things each has done with them has been incredible.
    Favorite Experience: I got a call once from someone at Z100 - because Rihanna desperately needed help setting up her page.
    Hobbies: Intelligent conversation, reasonable people, and a group of close friends. The occasional game of Heroscape and whatever video game playing I can get in. You could probably build a pretty good Thad replicant if you got the combination of Ancient History + Science Fiction + Awesome + Dinosaurs + 80's Cartoons + More Awesome + Genius - some ego + some delusions of grandeur + whatever my MBA professors have done to my poor brain. I think that I came out relatively well.

    Oklahoma 2.0: Kid Generated Content

    Thursday, January 24, 2008, 09:51 AM CST [Oklahoma 2.0]

    My littlest sister (I have two younger sisters and a younger brother) is 12, and an incredibly active internet user.  I always pay close attention to the sites she likes or is using at the moment.  It's a tough road, COPPA is hard, but I have seen a lot of really interesting sites come up from her browsing.  One that caught my eye was a new one - Kerpoof! (http://www.kerpoof.com/)

    It's pretty straight forward - but a really slick application.  Basically kids can get onto the site and create pictures and movies from all sorts of different backgrounds, objects and characters - aliens and pirates, ghosts and dogs.  It's worth 10 minutes of time to checkout some of the things different kids have come up with.
