Xbox Live/Microsoft fail
Just upgraded to a Xbox Live Gold membership today. I’ve had nothing but a ridiculous amount of trouble.
The latest and seemingly impenetrable issue I’ve run into is:
Continue reading Xbox Live/Microsoft failI’ve been thinking a lot about my use of social media and my bookmarks. There are so many articles, videos, quotes, etc that I want a record of that’s in an organized fashion. For a while, I’ve been using this blog as a way to store my favorite internetty things. I have a few IFTTT recipes that automatically post favorite videos from youtube and vimeo, and favorite tweets from twitter.
I think I’m going to take that concept to the next level and save groups of information about a certain topic to categories.. or maybe a tag. I’m not sure yet. This way I can keep track of the things that are influential to me for topics like the Affordable Care Act, or issues around gun control, etc.
Like most of the content on this site, this probably doesn’t interest you, but it’s going to be a great resource and reference for me as I parse issues and want to discuss them with others.
And hey, maybe you’ll find something here that you can bookmark/tweet/share/talk about, etc.

Wilson Miner – When We Build

“When We Build” a brilliant talk by @wilsonminer for designers, developers, and creators.

“I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that we’re tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.”

“And that’s what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”

Are you a stylist or a designer?
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Noah Stokes | Es Bueno: Thirty Five
Much like last years popular Thirty Four, here are thirty five things I’ve learned in thirty five years.
- You may think the lead guitarist is the bad-ass in the band, but you’d be wrong. It’s the bass player.
- If you were to drop off the face of the earth tomorrow, the people who call looking…
