Way to Go Bad Veins!

2010-02-27T12:57:00.002-05:00

A local band is making waves. Not long ago I worked with a guy named Sebastian Schultz who was in a band called Bad Veins. Some time later he left the company to pursue music full-time. They have now signed with indie label Dangerbird Records.Well, today, music from their new album was played on Good Morning America. You can see it on YouTube.Congrats guys!Buy the album:Amazon or iTunes

Rerun Free: The First Three Days

2010-02-21T20:59:00.002-05:00

I'm currently involved in a personal experiment. I started it on Ash Wednesday, but I'm not really thinking about it as a spiritual exercise. I've decided that during Lent I would live without reruns. That means I'm not allowed to watch any television shows or movies that I've seen before. Now this sounds pretty simple but for me it's not. I watch a lot of television and I watch a bunch of

Awesome!

I'm sitting here listening to Buzz Out Loud and all of the sudden they start talking about Topps 3D baseball cards. That's one of our projects. While we did not create the technology we (WonderGroup) created ToppsTown.com, the site where you activate these cards. So cool, to have your favorite podcast give props to a project you're working on. So awesome!

Who's Driving?

A dead, barren tree stands by the road.No time to think of the implicationWe must drive and talk and go.And that's our life; no meaning to grasp.Only task after task after task.

I'm amazed when I watch someone try desperately to use a piece of software, whether online or offline, that is just a piece of crap. When I see an application with bad UI, overly complex, unstable and inconsistent features, I scream, I complain and if possible I refuse to use it. However, as I watch people use things like Powerpoint and Word, I realized, they have been duped. MS has convinced

Election Day Political Post

2008-11-04T17:30:00.002-05:00

I've been avoiding posting a political opinion during this election cycle. I figure, when everyone's screaming why add another voice to the cacophony? But something occurred to me that I have to blog.It all started when I heard sequential audio clips from Barrack Obama and John McCain about the economy. The bottom line; Obama believes in bubble up economics, meaning if you give a tax break to the

A Visit to Michigan and Madison Square Church

2008-10-27T08:42:00.003-04:00

I guess the main reason I post to this blog so rarely is because I feel like it needs to be be more than a glorified twitter feed. Does anyone really want to know what I had for dinner, what I'm thinking or whether my stomach is upset. The answer is obviously a resounding no.So as I struggle to think of something profound or meaningful, I often find, there's nothing that is worthy of the

Ironic Mistake

2008-10-09T10:09:00.002-04:00

Erica and I recently wrote an article for a British publication presenting our latest thinking on social media and it's impact on young consumers. A few minutes ago the editor sent an email to the publisher with my email address. I had neglected to include it in the contact info. I found that very ironic. It serves to illustrate how, even us who work in the medium every day can easily forget

As if, another iPhone post is what the internet needs. The new phone only has two features that is better than a 1st Gen phone with 2.0 software update.1. Faster2. GPSThat's not that compelling. I will get one but I'm not in a hurry.

Craziness on the Air Waves

2006-07-21T09:57:00.000-04:00

Two things I've heard on the radio today amazed me. First, Barney Frank (D-Ma) said the reason the Federal Gov't (BTW, don't forget that Federal Gov't is code for YOU) should give even more money to Boston for the "Big Dig" is because that's what it means to be part of a Federal Government. He said if New Orleans can have money after Katrina then we should have some too. Let me see if I

Just a quick thought...

2006-07-20T20:14:00.000-04:00

It's easy to tell is a politician, who's giving a speech, is lying. Just check to see if their lips are moving. It's a little trickier to judge political ads.However, I have come up with a way to judge if a political ad is attempting to deceive me. If they show their opponent in a grainy, distorted, unflattering video, they must be lying. If your confident in your position you don't have to
