WatchI’m playing with Qik and I want to see how it works. The quality seems nicer than Ustream and works on iPhone (the viewing part).
“What developers see is that the App Store is a shaky foundation upon which to...”
– John Gruber (via marco)
I’d have to disagree. I’m not a developer so I don’t claim to know the exact atmosphere of iPhone development. My argument is this: The apps removed from the store were on shaky ground from the beginning, with the exception of a handful of apps like Google...

WatchOkay, so get this. My brother, Daniel… he makes music and he managed to put out an album. It’s 12 songs. It’s pretty not-terrible-at-all. It’s only $5.
You can listen to it completely for free on Bandcamp (or here) and you can buy the album RIGHT NOW. Head over to selectivehearing.bandcamp.com and do yourself a favor.
You can also follow him on Tumblr and Twitter.

Nexus One.
I’m still convinced I want to own a Nexus One alongside my iPhone.
Without bringing up my excessiveness or any other deeply-seeded personal issues, convince me this is a bad idea.

Thanks for that, MediaFire
So, Nine Inch Nails (or just NIN fans. I’m not sure, really. My money’s on the latter) release this awesome remix album featuring all of the top fan-made remixes (you see, Trent Reznor has made a bunch of songs [all of them, I think] available as “open source” tracks, readily available for legal remixing and sharing).
Great right? Almost.
Everything is awesome until you...
Great news everyone!
selectivehearing:
You no longer need a Paypal account to buy our album! Check it out!

WatchElevation 2010.
If you’re on an iPhone, you can head directly to Vimeo for a mobile version (here’s the link).
YouTube and Facebook editions coming later today.
UPDATED: As promised, I got this bad boy up on YouTube, Facebook, and it’s available for download in full HD as well as iPhone/iPod touch.
What do you think?

WatchThis is the intro video I did for this year’s Elevation 2010 event at Mount Ararat Baptist Church.
I’ll also be shooting the event, too, which is going to be awesome. I did it last year and the experience was overwhelming (in a good way). Get this. I shoot Thursday night, work my day job Friday morning/day, then shoot until midnight-ish on Friday, then shoot from 8am - midnight-ish on...

Productivity.
I programmed my computer to not let me on to these websites (or even allow anything from these domains) from 11pm - 5:30pm the following day and it’s done wonders for my productivity.

Windows Phone 7
Oh snap! Dare I say it, I think I have finally found a phone that looks more promising than the (current) iPhone.
Before I get into how awesome the Windows phone is, I want to point out that Microsoft dropped Flash support because of how horrible Flash is AND they use the similar multi-tasking setup that the iPhone uses (using notifications and only running the built-in apps simultaneously).

So, early today, an Apple employee was answering questions anonymously over on Reddit and had some fairly interesting stuff, taking in account that he worked for Apple, of course.
The company seems to be really excited about the iPad. I mean really excited. Also, he urged readers to read post-announcement hands-on reviews rather than random bloggers and I was surprised to read how much Engadget...

The Aquarium.
Pictures from the Baltimore National Aquarium are finally up on my Flickr.
Out of the hundreds I took, I only thought 31 were worth putting on Flickr and of those 31, I like 0 of them.
Par for the course, I suppose.
UPDATE: I’m really liking all the video footage I shot on my camera. Looking forward to finding some time to get that together and get it on Vimeo and a few clips on to...

Climate Change & Snow
I didn’t realize until just a few days ago, that conservatives don’t believe in climate change. It boggles my mind. Like why would you want to fight the notion that we aren’t taking care of our planet the best we could?
It’s not like “going green” is hurting anyone. In fact, from a capitalist standpoint, being pushed to buy an American-made, fuel-efficient car...

Blessed / Posessions
As I pack up my stuff for work in the morning and try and regain some order over my desk and home office setup, I realize I am very blessed to have the things that I do. And no, not just because I the items in my laptop bag and on my desk are truly technological wonders, but because they are all tools for the things I am passionate about.
My DSLR let’s me capture the world around me, the...
