If you've followed my blog and tweets long enough, you know that me and my friends are foodies. So, when we heard that Five Guys burgers was coming to Greensboro, we started planning for our opening day visit weeks in advance! Haha! I know we're crazy. Anyway, the day finally came last week, and I archived the entire thing on video. So, hold onto your hats, and watch below as me and my crazy

Today, I posted my 20,000th tweet on Twitter believe it or not! Wow! It's kinda hard to think I've been tweeting for so long! Not only has Twitter become a way to communicate what's going on in my life and become how I get the majority of my news, but it's also become one of my favorite avenues for socializing. I have met so many incredible people on Twitter, and each month I meet more and

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who likes to record video shout-outs for their favorite products! See below for Josh Holden's latest homage to Jamba Juice! Josh is back in NYC and excited that he can enjoy Java Juice again... because, as you might guess, Jamba Juice isn't racing to open a location at Holden Beach just yet. Anyway, his video is fun & will make you smile, and I think

Wow just realized I haven't blogged in a while-- bad Scott! It happens, though... every once in a while, I stop blogging (or vlogging or podcasting) for a bit, I realize how much I miss it, and I then come back full force! With that said, it's not that I haven't wanted to blog lately, I've just been busy... and, as some of you know, blogging is just one of those things you have to make time

I've finally got some more video footage of the 1st Greensboro Tastecasting event at Table 16 (see below). In this episode, you'll see Josh Holden and Ryan Robbins walking on the way to the event (I'm behind the camera), footage of Table 16's Chef Graham discussing the night's menu, and Ryan Robbins and me giving some feedback on the night's event.Watch now

I finally had the time to put together a second blog entry follow-up to our inaugural Greensboro Tastecasting event, which was held at Table 16 restaurant in Greensboro a few weeks back. Previously, I used my blog and Twitter to share information that others have written and posted about the event. However, In this current blog entry, I focused more on MY thoughts related to the event.First off,

Two weeks ago, Adam Arney and I organized the 1st Tastecasting event in Greensboro, NC. Tastecasting, a platform for socially networked people to help restaurants build their businesses, was started in Ohio and has slowly grown to include a dozen cities across the nation. The 1st Greensboro Tastecasting event was held at Table 16 restaurant in downtown Greensboro, and I must say the food was

My staff at UNC Greensboro is doing more and more with social media to support our various distance education and extension programs. Our programs are very divergent and attract a variety of folks from all demographics-- we have programs for folks as young as 6 to 18 (we run some summer kids camps and we offer college classes to high schoolers), we offer online degree programs for working adults

A short while ago, Ryan Robbins found a cute turtle on the side of the road and proclaimed that it must have been a pet that had been set free by its owner. I was skeptical, but I let her convince me. She claimed that selling turtles as pets in the state of North Carolina was not legal and that "Hugo has to be a domesticated turtle that was either set free or escaped." Well, after a few weeks

Two teams formed at Startup Weekend Holden Beach this weekend: BoomClickaBoom and PayToPerfect. The BoomClickaBoom company actually worked on two projects-- PracticePlanr (a soccer-related app) and TweedleDM (a Web service for searching Twitter direct messages). The PayToPerfect team put together a Web-based service designed to crowdsource the writing of blogs to improve content in the

Josh Holden and I ordered pizza for the StartupHB group today and hosted lunch right on the beach! So, if you were wondering just what makes our event unique compared to other Startup Weekends, wonder no more!! :-) As you might guess, I recorded some video footage of our pizza luncheon on the beach, and I've included the video in the latest podcast (see below). Btw, if you are in NC or close by

In this video, Josh Holden and I reflect on the pitching session from the first night of Startup Weekend Holden Beach. Eleven ideas were pitched and then narrowed down to three: TweetleDM (a service that sorts Twitter direct messages), PracticePlanr (a sports-related iPhone app), and a yet-to-be titled service that connects the blogosphere with more robust content via crowdsourcing.

I'm at Holden Beach for the 2nd weekend in a row working with Josh Holden to finalize plans for Startup Weekend Holden Beach. We're also working on our new company TapTrend. Hehe... I know you're thinking, "Hell, Scott, how many companies can you be involved with?" I guess I sometimes spread myself too thin, but eventually one of my endeavors will rise to the top... and I'll then know that's

April was a crazy month for me in terms of traveling, and May looks like it's going to be just as busy! I guess that's the price I pay for being involved in so many things, so I can't complain. One of the highlights of this month will be a visit from my mom (she arrives this Thursday). I must admit that I'm kinda bummed that she's visiting over a weekend when I was invited to two parties;

A good friend of mine, Josh Holden, and I are coordinating our own Startup Weekend for what the SW folks are calling Startup Weekend World. The goal is for cities around the world to host their own SW events the first weekend in June of this year. We're hosting our SW event at Holden Beach, NC, at two beach houses, and we are pscyhed! Because of space limitations, our event will be invite only;

If you have kept up with my last few blog posts and/or video podcasts, you are aware that I was away at yet another Startup Weekend recently--this time in Kansas City. In my latest video podcast, I feature team members from my new startup, Rare Brew, discussing the concept of Rare Brew--a tea lover's community.
