San Antonio by VSCO

We just took a weekend getaway to see some family and the sights of San Antonio which gave me a good time to do a little testing out of the new VSCO Camera. All photo editing was done post-trip so as to try and be in-the-moment with the family as much as possible. Here are…

I walked to work.

I was skimming a magazine while at the house at lunch today. One of the things I read was about an entrepreneur who was giving three recommendations of things he likes and/or uses regularly. The list was boring and of little use to me other than a nugget that I pulled out about his tennis…

Week End; Recommend

We’ve been in super-hunker-down-and-deliver mode here at the office the last couple of weeks but thought I’d at least throw out a few things that have pulled our attention for a moment or two. How Far is it to Mars? – It’s a really long ways. Uuni – The Revolutionary (in home) Wood-Fired Pizza Oven…

L’Arby’s de Discotheque

I’ve got a dollar for anyone who can prove they get through this without cracking a smile. And for the record, they get their moves from their momma.

Holding it.

With a little one who just turned 3, it’s a constant theme around our place to make sure that he’s not too preoccupied with playing and help him to remember to swing by the potty every now and again. He’s definitely getting better and accidents are now fewer and further between, thankfully. Sadly, I see…

Fight the urge to smile

Jimmy Fallon wins the internet for at least the next couple of hours. See if you can make it through the first 30 seconds of this without cracking a smile. Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey, & The Roots – All I Want For Christmas

CreepySanta 2012

As much as it pained my office mate, I started the process of organizing the 2012 edition of CreepySanta in October. It’s not the be-all, end-all Christmas album but it should be a good mix for you to keep your Christmas party hoppin’ or help soundtrack your tree decorating festivities. This ain’t the first Christmas…

New work: Feed the Hungry with Project 7

Project 7 – Feed the Hungry I’m excited to be able to finally share a project that we’ve been working on for a bit here at eightninety headquarters. We were lucky to be able to partner with Project 7 to build a custom application to help launch/promote their newest goal – provide one million meals…

For Sale

I’m selling some things on Craigslist. I would be much appreciative if you would either buy them or tell somebody you know to buy them. I cannot confirm or deny full truth to any of the descriptions that go with the postings; I can however confirm that the pictures are real, I took them myself.…

The Heavy – How You Like Me Now?

Recently overheard conversations at Mavs headquarters…

If you’re not an NBA fan or follower of the Dallas Mavericks then you’ve recently missed out on a sports equivalent of Chernobyl as a vacation destination. The start of the NBA free agent signing period began on Monday and Dallas has quickly been informed that unless roofied or held at gun point, big time…

Jason Lee – 2012 Dad of the Year?

Dads, photographer Jason Lee is making us look bad. Not satisfied with only being able to take good photos, he decided to practice his craft – and his craftiness – with his two daughters to be able to keep his sick mother up to date with the girls and how they are doing. Great project,…

Live Lip Dup Proposal

Here’s a pretty decent way to start your Friday… Wonder how long it takes before The Office rips this one off?

Zander Olsen – Tree, Line

I’ve had these images bookmarked for probably six months and each time I look at it I become more fond of each. Now you can do the same. An explanation: …‚Äòwrapping‚Äô trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera‚Äôs viewpoint. View the…

Best thing on the Internet today

Granted, I’m slightly biased, but this is the best thing you’ll watch on the Internet today (SOPA news included). A video that my cousin just sent me of her son Daven with his teacher learning to walk again at school after dual knee replacement surgeries and full leg casts in December. At seven years of…

The Joy of Books

Sean and Lisa Ohlenkamp set out to see what happens in bookstores at night; with a crew of over 20 people, they spent several nights animating and documenting the happenings at TYPE Books in Toronto, CA. Good stuff. via Alister Coyne & Colossal

CreepySanta 2011

I’m a little late in getting this to you but you’ve still got a couple of weeks to hopefully enjoy it before you’re completely tired of Christmas music. If you’re new to these parts, feel free to dig back through the archives and find any/all of the previous tracks I’ve posted. Hopefully the links are…

2011 Collab-mas List

In lieu of giving you 20-30 products that I think are cool, this year I chose to go a different route and reach out to a few that I connect regularly with to have them help curate a list of potential gifts for us, you, or the ones you might be buying for. I gave…
