Why Mom's Rock #MothersDay

May 12, 2013/ Don Martelli

Today we celebrate Moms. You know, the lovely ladies who take care of just about everything. There are moms who stay at home and take care of the kids, acting more as a shuttle bus driver at times (back and forth to soccer and other activities) than a mom. Then there are moms who put in 40+ hours a week and still get it done on the home front. Regardless of the type of mom, there are some cross over attributes as to why moms rock. Here are some.

The growing memorial in Boston's Copley Square is quite the sight to see. I took the family there today. We walked, shopped and dined on Boylston Street. It felt good to support the local economy and be part of the healing process for our great city and our community. Here are some of the images that caught my eye during our visit.

This is a note that I wrote to my kids about the events that happened this week. I'm not one to sugar coat things and as a result, this post is written in that manner. It includes strong language and is really a way for me to share my raw emotions from the past week.

We are #BostonStrong.

Facebook Actions in the Wild

March 29, 2013/ Don Martelli

Facebook's Graph Search will help us discover a slew of things based on the people we are connected to, their experiences, their likes, their relationships, etc. It's also using that data to push further into how we interact with the network beyond likes. Adjectives will be a big part of Facebook's future, the first of which I experienced today in terms of "reacting" to content.

My Thoughts on Daddy Bloggers

February 25, 2013/ Don Martelli

Daddy blogging isn't a new thing, even though the New York Times wants to pretend that it is.

My new post over at Every Other Thursday explores why daddy bloggers are just not only getting the street cred that we deserve.

Taylor Swift and a Screaming Goat

This is why the Internet is awesome. On a day when I really needed a laugh, Taylor Swift and a screaming goat came through.
