about
This blog started to track my travels, and then morphed in to tracking my ideas about technology and life. I’m now a entrepreneur-without-residence in Berlin, working on super secret projects.
Most people know me as the founder of Lijit, a very cool startup in Boulder based on Outfoxed, my master’s thesis about online trust. I studied Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück, Germany. My business partner Todd Vernon (former CTO of Raindance Communications) and I incorporated the company in June 2006.
Before that I worked at RootMarkets in New York. At that time I also developed the AttentionTrust.org Attention Recorder.
I’ve been working on the web in some form or another since 1996 when I created the first browser-based massively multiplayer games, UltraCorps and Evernight while working at VR-1. They were purchased by Microsoft and AOL, respectively.
I’ve been working with computers in some form or another since my school got some Atari 800’s. Because my Dad was a teacher, I didn’t have to go through the normal certification course to use them: I just started playing around. By Halloween I was hooked, as you can see in the photo.
And as the blog title might imply, I love traveling. Check out some of my wanderings of 2001 or 2003 or my time in Germany.
