Nick Huhn — a digital strategist that uses technology and creativity to connect ideas and people

What keeps me up at night

February 1, 2009

These sorts of questions are circling around my head these days:

2008 wrap-up

January 3, 2009

I’m certain this won’t be the case, but I’m hoping 2009 will not be all that eventful. A lot of fairly momentous things happened to me in 2008:
