A New Year

It’s 2012 officially. And so far, things are off to a good start. Of course, when you go vacationing to an awesome place with some of your best friends, you tend to have a good time. That has been the case for this New Year as well. Just like NYE 2011, Kelly and I spent...

New Years Resolutions

Its almost January 1st, so its time for me to make some resolutions for the coming year that I most likely won’t bother trying to achieve. Seeing the video above inspired me to come up with a list. Some of his resolutions actually mirror my own. Be less concerned about what people think I chortled...
My revelation about myself and being a hater

My revelation about myself and being a hater

Don’t hate them for trying I have started an experiment. I’d like to see how many days I can go without being a hater. Sounds weird, but too much of my daily routine centers around ripping stuff that other people do. I’ve really noticed this happening a lot recently, even before starting to listen to...
5 Reasons YouTube is Superior to Vimeo

5 Reasons YouTube is Superior to Vimeo

Here are 5 reasons why YouTube is a superior platform for creatives to post their video content than Vimeo. 1. Unlimited uploading: YouTube carries no restriction on the amount of video content you can upload. Too often, I found myself having to compromise on my videos due to Vimeo’s arbitrary upload limits.

I hate to love advertising

I hate to love advertising

Usually you’d say you love to hate something, but in actuality, at least in my case, i hate to love advertising. Even though i work in the marketing and advertising world, i still get really tired of ads. Not only just the viewing of ads pretty much everywhere i look, but the creation of them,...

Dr. Drew seems to think so.
So long, Twitter (thank you Howard Stern)

So long, Twitter (thank you Howard Stern)

Today I deactivated my Twitter account, and I partly have Howard Stern to thank for it. I started on Twitter back in 2007, after it was debuted at SXSW. Back then you had to really convince people why they should be on the site. It was common to hear people say, “ok that is just...
Charlie's social media meltdown

Charlie’s social media meltdown

We are witnessing what I think can only be described as the first social media meltdown of a celebrity. That might not be the most descriptive term to describe what Charlie Sheen is doing to himself, because truthfully Charlie was melting down before he ever signed up for Twitter or decided to stream his life...
Would it kill you to be negative once in a while?

Would it kill you to be negative once in a while?

I say it is alright to harbor a negative, or critical thought every once in a while. Some people do not, and I guess that is their right. But the truth is, if you never have a negative thing to say, or that you think EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is awesome, all the time, then something...
What should Howard Stern do?

What should Howard Stern do?

Howard Stern has a big decision to make. His contract is going to be up here in a few months, and while his soon to be “free agent status” will give him a lot of options, I am actually hoping that he will decide to not re-sign with Sirius. Why? Because I’d love to see...
The Oregon Coast

The Oregon Coast

This weekend we went to the Oregon coast for the first time since our move. It was a very nice time, capped off with some kite flying. I cant even remember the last time i flew a kite. We picked one up that had no breakable parts, as we totally expected we’d crash. It was...
New words to live by?

New words to live by?

Adam Carolla, during his last Stern show appearance, had a very interesting take on life that I could see myself (not easily) adopting. I am going to paraphrase a bit what he said because i don’t have the energy to scrub through the entire show to find the exact line. Adam more or less said...
