there have been previous post with the same title over the years. the first one dealt with why i go by kenn instead of ken or even kenneth – my given name – and the name most people know me by  the second talked about online identity, or handle. how i changed from ‘heyitskenn’, a […]

We’ve all been there… the in between jobs, the in between chapters in our lives. This entire year has felt like an in between. I did a lot. I worked to make the ESPN iOS app very accessible, I pushed for better. To the point that a lot people thought I was doing great. That […]

It’s been over 2 months since I moved from Hartford. Last time I went through a job search I documented it, mainly because it was a large employment gap and to somewhat show the under belly of the iceberg of success. This time around there wasn’t a large gap (to my own surprise) but I […]

It’s been ten years since I moved back to LA. I remember packing up what was my life at the time and moving to a new place that used to be home. To a school I had only seen in pictures and not knowing a single soul. For the next decades as would half heartedly […]

A few years ago I wrote about Why I go by Kenn, particularly Kenn R, instead of Ken and my rarely used last name. The gist of it, 1. Kenn is less formal, and more casual than my given name of Kenneth. 2. I’m no longer the person Kenneth was, a star soccer player that […]

While I’m still trying to catch up from my break from the internet during June and most of July, I came across a TechCrunch article by MG Siegler, Playing Devil’s Advocate. The answer, it seems, is that most of those people were likely too close to the projects to see what was right in front […]
