Creator
listsofbests.com
(Privately Held; Myself Only; Online Media industry)
January 2003 — June 2005 (2 years 6 months)
I created Lists Of Bests as a simple service to track your consumption of many top 10/100 lists and critic lists of books, music, and film. The site was built with Perl connection to MySQL.
While I ran the site, it was featured in The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, and several other publications.
I sold the site to the Robot Co-op in late 2005, who then took over running the site (after a major redesign) in the middle of 2006.

I produced webcasts (webinars, whatever) that broadcast.com put online, some live and some pre-recorded. At times I managed all aspects of the webcasts, from client management, web development, audience reporting, and support. Some of my clients at the time include IBM, Dell, Cisco, Amway, and many other Fortune 500 companies.
