Hacker. Human.
If you haven’t followed a few of my tweets in the last few days then this might be news – otherwise, continue on your journey internet traveler!
Last week we unveiled the final work of an epic retro gaming mural done by a local hip-hop artist Totem. We also shared images of our entire office as well.
It’s not completely done but it is to the point where we can host large gatherings and even a few parties now and again.
The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.

The internet allows too much room for interpretation and misunderstanding – as long as you become comfortable with that fact then you can continue to thrive and do just fine.
One of the best things that I get to do on occasion is meet up with people within my online circles that I have never met – this allows me to shake their hand, read their body language, and firm up my own mental picture of who they are with who they really are away from the keyboard.
I wish I could do this more but I simply cannot – I don’t have the time nor the energy so I’ll always be at a relative deficit and I’ll have to trust my gut and intuition about people as well as leveraging a bit of collective opinion from those that are the closest to me.
I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve been working on a “side project” and it’s finally time for the reveal!
Pressgram is something I’ve been working on for the last 6 months and earlier this week I finally came to the decision that it was time to give it a serious “kickstart” – as a result, I submitted a epic Kickstarter Campaign and waiting anxiously to know if it was going to go through.
I gave a quick text-based interview over at Snitchim that might interest you. Check it out here.
For those interested, I wrote a post about how I’m moving from Google Reader to Feedly.
This is quite a big deal and it’s my alternative of choice now.
Sad.
I recently tried @Mailbox app and I hated it. Yes, that’s a strong word, but I literally started sweating and could feel my face getting red as I started engaging with the application.
My wife, who was sitting next to me, asked me if I was ok. I had to remove my jacket I was getting so anxious. This is simply due to the fact that email is sacred ground and my process is as “locked in” as it’s going to get. It’s different on every single device, mobile and desktop, and I have an incredibly hard time changing it.
Why? Because my strategy/process/whatever works and I don’t see anything close as an alternative that would make it any better or more effective.
But I’ll give everything a shot, at least once.
This movie is unbelievable. It fundamentally shifted my thoughts around craftsmanship. You must watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
I’m still wrestling with a lot of it and I literally couldn’t finish it because I felt so ill watching it – the shift was too great to bear in one sitting. I finished it the following night.
Unbelievable.
I had dinner with two of the guys from Arrested Development and spent most of the evening discussing music, life, entrepreneurship and everything in between.
I love spending time with creative individuals and learning more about how they think, how they operate, and how they get their stuff done.
