Manson Valley

Today the idea got thrown out to go looking for the ranch where Charlie Manson and friends hung out. We never did find it, but we did turn around in Trent Reznor’s driveway, hike through a crazy valley and had a great time all around.
We played around with the idea of shooting a music video […]

Surprise LA Trip

As I write this, I’m sitting in my hotel room outside of Los Angelas. Crazy that yesterday morning I was in Boston and I’ll be back there tomorrow.
About a year ago, Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff’s wife sent a bunch of us an e-mail that she was planning a surprise birthday party for him and she’d love […]

Improved Water?

I’ve been on a kick lately of trying to be smarter about what I eat and drink. This means that during the day I chug down a lot of water. Hard to not do this when I have a water cooler about six feet from my desk. But, after a while this gets kind of […]

Life Moves Fast

That sure is the case around these parts right now.
Some of you that spent time with me at PodCamp Nashville know that I got an offer on our old house during it. That fell apart quickly and went no where. So when I got a similar call during SXSW I tried to keep thing in […]

Walking the Brain (and Roxie too..)

I’ve been cranking away today on some strategic client work, but was getting lost in the pile of windows, messages and everything else that can quickly fill up a screen at any given time. When I let Roxie out I realized how nice it was and figured it was the perfect time to practice what […]

Many of you know that our client Trivya has a Facebook application where you play trivia. But, if you don’tt have a Facebook account you couldn’t see what game play was like. Now you can with their widget.

To give it a try, click on a difficulty level and then pick a category to play a […]

Good Friday

That is what the calendar says and why my kids tell me they have the day off. I’m sure they think it is “good” for difference reasons then why they have it off. *grin*
These past few days I’ve been really energized. Lots going on and I’m buried under a sea of Microsoft Office applications all […]

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad’s birthday and this photo always makes me smile because I know how much he loves a good nap in the great outdoors. This was taken on our trip to the Boundary Waters and there are more pictures here if curious.

I hope you have a great day today Dad and find some […]

Riding the Whirlwind

Have you ever ridden a tornado? Surfed a tidal wave? I haven’t really done that, but these past few weeks have certainly felt that way. There is always multiple somethings going on. Between life and work I certainly am keeping busy. It is a good busy though. The Advance Guard has some new clients, new […]

Still Decompressing from Austin

I’ve been playing catch up all day on everything that I missed while I was at SXSW. I’m not ready to completely brain dump all my feelings from the week, but I will say that unlike every other conference I go to where there is one major vertical of interest represented, in Austin it was […]

Quick FYI About The Advance Guard

I’m getting a lot of questions today about The Advance Guard which is a cool thing. Not sure if it is coming from my interview on GeekBrief.TV or just from the conversations in the hallways of SXSW. Either way I’m not going to complain about it.
The quick FYI on The Advance Guard is that Steve […]
