That was a nice 10-day break from blogging. I’m back after turning my attention to some projects that needed full-time attention.
Accordingly, I’m growing convinced that, unless one works late nights and weekends like a Bay Area startup, it’s difficult for an independent team of two or three to…

Losing, but not lost →
Of the few things I remember as a child, some of the most vivid memories are actually dreams. I remember jumping into the air and flying, with my own dogs viciously chasing me, and eating…

Mind blowing technology things that are easily affordable. Translucent wood. Temperature sensitive glass. Flexible LED tubes. Rubber glass. Yeah, insane.
Haiti shot on an iPhone →
jeremycowart:
My 2011 New Years resolution was “more personal work”. Little did I know it would be with an iPhone. I went on a volunteer trip with Hope International during the 1-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake. In between assignments for Hope I randomly started shooting with my iPhone and quickly became fascinated with the possibilities. Working at such low res was a welcome change of...

PORTLANDIA IS KING
Here I brag that I’ve seen the pilot and you haven’t because you’re not a Hollywood insider and you don’t make studio deals with Hollywood moguls at cocaine parties like I do. Cappuccino Mercedes Benz.
Portlandia is my favorite new show. 100% incredible.

And in the shadow of the valley of your family...
Getting older means reflection. Memories. Eventually you pass that half way point, where you have less life (on average, obviously any of us could die at any time) in front of you than behind you; and you inevitably wonder how useful, purposeful or important of it was. Not just that, but you analyze why you are who you are now, based on your fragmented memory (and in my case, as hazy a frosted...
The brilliance of well worded letter
Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for...

The little idea what wouldn't die
This may not be of any interest to anyone but me (you know, for the kids), but I thought I might talk about why I decided I wanted to create GatherMyFlock.com this relationship reminder. Most personal projects (should) come from a personal need — nothing more than attempting to make your own life easier (and perhaps that will also help others).
It’s not that I forget things here and there....
#32 - Beat Downs and the Prison Fist →
I’m not one to advocate for inducing the wrath of God upon your children, and your children’s children; but if you like 1) men in closets 2) vulgarity of language 3) the auditory evidence of men being consumed by madness and rage - then Walking The Room is the pièce de résistance of podcasting nightmares.
