Apps for Apps
“We should open a restaurant. We make great sandwiches,” I said to @twelch12. He replied, looking at my pork tenderloin slices topped with cheeses and jalapenos, “And apps. We should have apps for apps.”
He’s referring to iPhone applications for appetizers - that would be fun. I can sense some rolling of eyes, and I realize the idea of inserting a digital system to...

Skinned Knees and Cool Scars No More
When I was younger, getting hurt usually coincided with a cool scar anxiously exaggerated about during recess(I miss recess). Whether it included something little on your hand or a skinned knee from falling off your bike(post-training wheels, I hope.), there was usually a good story to accompany the band-aid.
During elementary school at a summer camp, I was playing an aggressive pickup cabin...

shoutsandmumbles:
I hate staring at a blank word doc. There’s too much blankness. Too much to chose from before I even get a word on the page. What font? Italics? Bold? Light? Color?
I just think about everything else besides what I actually have to write (in this case a post for the Moment blog) and…

Cool study. Interesting to ponder, probably not to force in to action.

Hm. Apparently being sleepy and drunk are great for being creative.

johnschroepfer:
Growth doesn’t come from pure motivation to be the best. It doesn’t come from going through the motions at work or in life. It most certainly doesn’t come from “knowing” the right people in the right places. It doesn’t come from luck.
All of these independent scenarios may help shape both…

If I were a QR code
If I were a QR code, I’d take you to a page that was a direct image of intense crossword-resembling square. From there, the different block clusters would have some sort of correlation or color, suggesting different topics where you’d click, tap or simply drag the mouse over. Upon this action, neatly crafted boxes would pop up, including email, blog mini feed, recent tweet history,...

The Music Business & Technology →
johnschroepfer:
I like love Spotify.
It actually scares me a bit because there is a certain hoarding or collecting element when it comes to being obsessed with music. I love music and collecting it. Part of the fun of music centers on spending hours at record stores looking for that one album or finding…

Does anyone memorize phone numbers anymore or has the proportion of email to voice calling tipped in a way email addresses have become the default in our mental Rolodex? I assume since the vast majority of my calling and text originates from my mobile, I rely heavily on my address book to provide the 10-digit terminal for said communication. Anyway, I just found it interesting that I could rattle...

You may laugh, but this is a pretty interesting 10 minutes on crows. Don’t underestimate them, especially if you own one of those little show dogs that fit in a purse.

Don't immediately get Google+? Cool. Welcome to...
I do not see why the digital webs surge with “I don’t know how to use Google+.” The first time you sat on a bicycle, did you compete in the Tour de Lance? Were you flip turning the very first time you jumped in a pool? Did you bake the perfect brownies the very first time you used an over?
I failed at all those, repeatedly. I’m serious. In high school, we had a score...

#Google+ review: a week.5 later
After a week and a half(week.5) of #GooglePlus, I have one comment that I will confidently stand by when discussing success of new players in the digital social scene. Invites are key to getting word of mouth and demand marketing, but if you aren’t sending the invites to pre-established friends, people of interest and people you would want to use the site with, then you’re diluting...

Digging it at first, but I’m afraid I’ll over hype it like Google Wave. #Circles has potential to be useful.

Leaving work at the office, fair?
I have been thinking more and more about the concept of “leave work at the office.” My job provides for my lifestyle and well-being, but do I treat it as such? I ignore it on Friday afternoon, until Monday morning, but that’s not really fair. A job(of whatever sort) underlines the necessity to perform and accomplish something, right? Sure, I accomplish my tasks and then some at...
