Doin’ it for the publicity

June 30, 2009

I hate bush leaguers. I abhor those who exploit people who can’t defend themselves. I hate more when people use the negative rumors of others to promote themselves. Len Gutman of Valley PR Blog has proven himself one of these people. It’s one thing to talk of or even trash the dead, but trashing those [...]

It’s time to be more honest

June 30, 2009

Every day we hear people complain about others. One day it’s auto-DMs, the next it’s poor service and then it’s terrible grammar and spelling in an email. Why aren’t you calling these people out? Why aren’t you holding people responsible for their actions? Think of it the next time someone is yapping loudly on a [...]

HUGE announcement

June 30, 2009

As of today I will no longer be blogging, I will be lifestreaming. Expect to see rants, videos I think are funny and inspirational messages that I deem important. I will switch back to blogging when the mainstream media deems it popular again. Or the alt weeklies. Or the internet gossip sites. Thank you for [...]

Welcome to the obvious

June 29, 2009

I love most of the people at Mindspace, but articles like this kill me. I mean, duh. Who is their audience? Is this worthy of telling their readers? Seems like journalism 101 to me. This reads like a college or high school news item. Let’s go Mindspace, you’re better than that.

Caricatures on the streets of DC

June 29, 2009

This guy is way, way too good to be doing street art, but he’s pretty damn happy, so who am I to argue? Great lesson in not discounting someone just because of the environment you meet them in. Genius is everywhere. Check him out at youtube.com/hulksmaash

Make it easy to get around

June 28, 2009

Too often businesses don’t do the little things right. They make websites that are hard to navigate, menus that are hard to read and price sheets that need to be explained. I love it when businesses get it. Far too often it’s damn hard to find a restroom in anything but a fast food restaurant. [...]

Who did you talk to today?

June 28, 2009

Too often we spend all of our time with people just like us. No one ever gets a little uncomfortable talking to someone that might make us think, make us feel a little weird or downright scare us. This guy won’t be a comedian, but his name is Thomas. Now you know someone new.

Who doesn’t love a street performer playing some steel drums on a summer day?

Narcissism is killing us

June 28, 2009

The first web boom was about money. Thousands of people made tons of money (on paper) making apps they thought the world would want forever. Everything grew too big too fast and died a quick, painful death, taking all the money with it. Looking back, we’ll remember the time for huge offices, rich youngsters and [...]

Focus on the content

June 27, 2009

Focus on the message, not the medium. Focus on the quality of your work, not the environment you do it in. It’s simple. Stop worrying about how your blog looks. Stop worrying about where to post. Don’t fret about using a variety of file types. Forget about what kind of desk you have. Just create [...]
