Blue Therapy
I was in knots as I walked out of the office. So much on my mind. So much to process. I looked up and saw a shade of blue sky that gave me an excuse. So for the next twenty minutes I walked around and thought only about blue. It was calming, for the time...
The promising, the inspirational and the dumb@$$
The promising NPR.com is undergoing a redesign. A very clean design with simple navigation, lots of white space and tons of information without the need to scroll or click through. Plus customization like picking your local station helps to really create a “home” for the user. Plus the demo video itself is very well put...

Goodbye ABQ, on the road again
Well I stayed longer than I thought I would (but I’m not complaining), but now it’s time to move on. My ABQ chapter is officially in the books. Whenever I go somewhere new, I always end up taking lots of pictures, noticing tons of things and writing a ton… I’ve been stepping aside, pulling over...

Hello ladies, apparently me have something in common
Today is March 8th and apparently the ladies, or lay-dies as I prefer, and I have something in common. No, it’s not that we both cry at weddings, like Audrey Hepburn movies or secretly wonder if we’d be able to stop ourselves from throwing ourselves at George Clooney and screaming like a school girl in...

Organizing photos goes all Philip K. Dick
I don’t write about technology often, I know, this coming from the guy that posts about video-hosting websites, new cameras, RAW processing and Microsoft’s table computer thing, but honest I don’t do it often, check! Anywho I was looking at the Natchway speech from the TED awards again, and I saw this other video on...

Newspaper’s biggest failure and for some reason we continue to ignore it
The biggest failure of the newspaper industry has been failing to change and adapt with its audience. We all say that readership is down and that newspapers are dying (a moment of silence for our brothers and sisters at the Dallas Morning News) and frankly subscribers are dying (old age) and we aren’t getting new...

Has America lost its mind?
In the span of the last week we’ve had: The taser kid, Andrew Meyer starts asking too many questions and annoyingly disrupts a political forum with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. Kerry claims later not to have seen a thing and that it happened in another room. Pretty spine-less senator, the video shows the truth. You...

Postcards from the road to ABQ
While I was driving over to ABQ, as I tend to do, I jotted a few my thoughts on the scraps of paper within arms reach. Here’s a few of the sights and sounds I noticed on the road to Albuquerque… -The way it worked out, to cross over to Arizona I had to cross...

Less pin-up, more set-up
I’ve never had cable TV before, but at my new place I’ve been watching it a bit and I’ve noticed there are a lot of advertisements with scantily clad women and commercials of models having their picture taken. My roommate also buys a bunch of tuner magazines and these always have scantily clad women all...

Save the earth+ Burning man… something doesn’t add up
Here’s my random thought of the day… Burning man is coming up quick and out of curiosity I thought I’d look into how to get there. I found the usual tour bus stuff, trains to Reno and a couple of posts on Craigslist from folks looking to split the gas, but a few that caught...

Day one in New York City
On Tuesday I got into New York City, it’s my first time here and my first thought is, “wow, it’s hot here, I should have packed my T-shirts.” My next thought is, “wow, this place is amazing.” I can see why people love this place. I hopped on a bus and rode out to Harlem....

Cake and software and multimedia and random thoughts
There should be a software application called “Cake” and then you’re slogan could be “and you can eat it to”… and you can make T-Shirts that say “eat it!” And the program would be for letting us create Hollywood style special effects in our multimedia pieces. (Hey I said the thoughts were random, I just...
