Naveen & Diana Get Married

This past weekend my good friend Naveen Selvadurai, who in past life co-founded Foursquare got married to Diana Hardeman, another friend who is well-known for her MilkMade ice cream brand in Manhattan. Naveen and Diana asked me to officiate their wedding, a privilege and an honor. It was a blast! The wedding took me down to San Clemente in Orange County, California. It is a cute little place — perfect setting for a wedding. Wishing the newly weds all the best!

The OmShow w/ Wired-cofounder Louis Rossetto

I published my interview with Louis Rossetto earlier this month. Many of you asked for a podcast version of the conversation. Thanks to help from my friend Chris Albrecht, we turned this around and here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
