When my time was up to leave, I asked Potts if I could stay another week. He said something about being fully booked, but I offered to pay more than his usual rate and said I’d plug Surfboard House on TechCrunch (consider that a disclosure). He had (and still has) no idea what TechCrunch is, but the dollars did the trick. Schedules were juggled, I stayed.

Apparently he thinks it's OK to use his blog to push other peoples' travel plans around. Not just OK, but something to brag about. What a douche move.
Ok, so he's not explicitly bragging about his blog; he's merely bragging about being able to throw money around and dick up other peoples' travel plans. That makes it so much better.
