The End of Wonder in the Age of Whatever →
This is an amazing talk. Yes, it’s an hour long. However, if you really want to be inspired, you need to watch this. It speaks to how our society, and influences like the internet, have changed our perception of the world.
The way I see the world very literally changed after watching this talk. Hopefully it does the same for you.

Some days change everything
There are some days, and some events, that you just know are going to change everything. 10 years ago was one of those days. There has been so, so much coverage and this has been one of the most picked apart events that has ever happened in history.

The Wilderness Downtown →
This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen done with HTML5 to date. All you need is an up to date copy of Google Chrome, and you can experience quite an interesting “film” (although it’s much more than that).
The concept is based on and set to the Arcade Fire track “We Used To Wait” off their latest album “The Suburbs”. I’ve talked...

Protesting for Protesting sake

It’s been going on for centuries, where if a large enough group of people doesn’t like...

A "Black Triangle" Moment →
Totally stealing this term. Great article about what it means to be a computer professional. There are moments when we accomplish large successes, even if there isn’t much to be had as a result.

The Darker Side
For every light side, there is a dark. The above images are some of the random scattering that I re-tweeted during the riots. I reflect on something my friend Duane said the other night.. Inside of all of us, we’re animals. We have fear.. we get caught up in the mob mentality.. sometimes we all just want to break free from the binds that are put on us by society..
But we...
