Month: September 2011

  • Cole World

    J. Cole.

    The buzz surrounding Cole’s first studio album following his deal with ROC Nation is growing by the minute. Having tantalized fans with a series of mixtapes (most notably, Friday Night Lights) which were easily on par with most commercial rap albums today, expectations are high.

    This is one of the hottest freestyles (whether his bars were memorized or not is immaterial) I’ve seen in a while.

  • High praise for Wufoo

    What can I say about Wufoo that hasn’t already been said?

    It’s an absolutely stellar product that has never failed me. In the redesign of my site that launched a few days ago, I was able to remove all friction from the process of engaging my services by integrating a payment gateway with my forms.

    So you can now hire and retain me.

    While I sleep.

    You’re invoiced immediately, and I get the details in my inbox at the same time. Groundbreaking? Absolutely not, but it doesn’t have to be. It just works.

  • J is for Junkie

    This is a wonderful film shot in Atlanta, GA (where I lived for three years) that follows the lives of crack heads. As comical as the description is, the film treats them with dignity and exposes some interesting insights into their grim reality.

    I was reminded of this film as I worked from Tea Lounge last week. It happened to be a night when Brooklyn Skillshare was putting on a free class about starting a documentary from scratch.

    Great documentary, great lounge, and great class.

  • Wafels & Dinges

    I happened upon this Waffle truck in NYC the other night when out with some friends. In addition to having waffles that are positively fabulous, the service was stellar and they’re doing all the right things online.

    Now if only they were open later…

  • Ishita and Alex

    I mentioned these guys yesterday, but I didn’t link to them.

    Ishita is Seth Godin’s Head of Hoopla, the main reason I’m in NYC right now (true story), and a versatile public relations professional. In short, she gets the word out.

    Alex is a freelance book designer, who makes art out of evertything he touches. Alex found his niche while working on The Domino Project, and I’m thrilled to promote his work whenever I can.

    Hire them.

  • Shout out

    My time working on The Domino Project altered the course of my life.

    It was a pleasure and an honor working alongside one of my heroes, who I’m now happy to call a friend. Additionally, I made six great friends who I hope to remain in regular contact with for the rest of my life.

    Following the end of our time with Domino (it was always a six month contract), I assisted with the launch of endmalariaday.com which gave me the opportunity to flex some of my server and performance optimization chops (the site did 35K+ pageviews on launch day).

    And today, Seth recognized Alex, Ishita, and me on the Domino blog…which actually inspired this redesign (smile). The design was originally created by my good friend Chase Reeves who is growing weary of my open praise and thanks, but I don’t care. Chase is the man.

    Just thought I’d dust off the old blog and share a bit of what’s going on.

    What’s new with you?
