Vimeo is a steaming pile of shit
Civil enough Vimeo? For the second time, I have had my account summarily deleted from Vimeo’s web site – each for stupid reasons. Keep in mind, I was also a paying customer at the time. Also, keep in mind that paying for video hosting when YouTube is readily available, has a much MUCH larger community,...
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,...
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
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...
The iPad2 is announced
Thank goodness my bonus came in time from work, I can now afford to pick up the iPad 2 when it is released on March 11! Many people were disappointed about the new iPad, expecting some type of huge upgrade. I kind of figured that it was going to be more like an “iPhone 3GS”...
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 I want from the iPad 2
There have been many posts throughout the blogosphere and gadget sites about the unveiling of the iPad 2. At an Apple event on March 2nd, the world will get to see the sequel to one of the most exciting and revolutionizing consumer products, well, ever. As you can see, I clearly have a great affinity...
Oregon Waterfalls
Today I am going to announce (wow, so official) a little side project I’m going to undertake called Oregon Waterfalls. Basically, i really like visiting and taking photos of waterfalls. Back when I lived in Arizona there really wasn’t an opportunity to do the kinds of falls sight-seeing that there is here in Oregon. Over...
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...
What Apple doesn’t do well – iBooks
Despite being a huge Apple fanboy, even I have to admit that there are certain things that Apple doesn’t do well at. I’ve got serious questions about the quality of several products that Apple has launched, anything from the Apple TV to Mobile Me. Even have a few gripes about little things like the Apple...
Really bad blogger makes lots of money
Today was a historic day for fat blowhards. That’s right, Michael Arrington sold his blog Techcrunch to AOL. My immediate (and present) reaction to this news was that I really hope AOL spent less than a million to buy the site, because Techcrunch is (and always has been) a pretty mediocre site for news. My...
