I was merely a spectator in this sad story, but even as such, find it nearly impossible to believe. My wife and I met Sam and Jason awhile ago. They were acquaintances from the Twitter and Instagram worlds first, but OMG we met IRL and became BFFs at a BYOB BBQ. (Yes, that was as horrid to [...]

Last week, a new platform was released for photographers, videographers, and artists. It’s called Koken. Being the perennial tinkerer that I am, I thought I’d give it a whirl. To be fair, I wouldn’t call myself a developer. Not even a quasi-developer. I’d categorize myself as knowledgeably dangerous and obviously unknowledgable. Ok, so I’m a [...]

I am an idiot. That's the best I can explain it. I say I'm an idiot because I have no idea what the hell is going on anymore. Granted, it's not like I was a genius previously, but Friday helped me realize that I have no idea how certain things happen.

Have you ever had to tell your wife that “Yes, in fact that outfit does look horrendous.”? That’s how I’ve felt the last few days, and I do not mean to say my wife needs a new wardrobe. Oddly, we’re one of the 3.3%* of Americans without a television. (Actually, we have one, but it’s [...]

In the last few weeks, I’ve come across two tools that I thought I’d share that are pertinent for those of you who are using WordPress, or if you are a brand. 1. TodayLaunch is a pretty neat social media monitoring platform. It allows you to monitor several Twitter streams, Facebook Pages, even WordPress sites for [...]

My wife posted a very moving and wonderful rendition of our newest family members birth. Unfortunately, that's not exactly how I remember it. Let's rewind a bit. When my wife let me know we were pregnant again, naturally I was very excited. My first thoughts of it however were very different than hers. She thought "Hey! I want a photographer there, so we can remember it forever!" To which I responded (in my head) "there are some images that will always haunt me, why on earth would I want an actual copy of it?"

Ok. Just a random thought/post. Not to belittle the whole Occupy movement, but I'm waiting for someone to come out with a "We are the 99¢" campaign to promote their latest dollar menu. I imagine some more creative folks than I could have some fun with this. Odd, I know. Usually I have verbose posts that have a point. This one, however, does not. #end

Originally posted at the day job: http://fndtn.com/2012/02/16/mountain-lions-first-meows/   Today, Apple announced that there would be a new version of the Mac operating system released in late summer of 2012. For some, the update has said to be yawn worthy. We disagree. That being said, no, it isn’t a gigantic jump like going from XP to Windows [...]

Well today was an interesting day. I tried to do my part, but there were several who did some really creative things. Wired, Google, Reddit, and The Oatmeal.  Several local local companies showed their frustrations on their sites, Twitter, or Facebook. ██████████████████████████████████ ███████████ sevnthsin.com █████████████#SOPAblackout — Sevnthsin (@sevnthsin) January 18, 2012   Thanks to SOPA, [...]
