Blog Tune-up

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Kris in Work

The Wrench

Fine-tuned the blog this week: adjusted the colors, applied new theme elements, weeded out out-dated posts.

It’s a fun process. On the web, you have to constantly tend your digital garden. It’s a messy undertaking to think about; but once you get your hands in the pitch, you wonder why … Read the rest

Be Kind: Fast-Forward

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Kris in Work

We need to talk. It’s time to send your favorite laptop to a server-farm upstate. Its fan can run and run all the time up there- oh, no. Don’t cry, Little Timmy! It’ll like it, really…

I’ve breathed life back into a lot of hardware and helped it limp along … Read the rest

Shut Up and Take All My Money

Give you all my money

 

As I was walking down the stairs of the Seattle ferry this weekend, I noticed something new since the last time I was there. Some entrepreneurs tricked out their trikes with logos and were waiting for passengers to pay them for rides around downtown. My first thought was, “Neat-o!” – then, … Read the rest

Wheelin’ & Dealin’

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Kris in Play

So I got this guitar for around 100 smackers. Actually, it was an acoustic/electric guitar with amp, case, tuner and some other bits. I thought it was going to be really badly made for that price. But, what the heck, I’m just starting to learn and might get a better … Read the rest

Self-Fulfilling Anime

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Kris in Play

Kopimist Religion

There was this futuristic, feature-length, animated movie several years back called Akira (1988). I remember, aside from basically everything else in the film, being blown away by the concept of a cult that practices some form of technological mysticism. That seemed like something that would be a long way off … Read the rest

Countdown to Extinction

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Kris in Work

No, I’m not talking about the end of the world. I’m saving that post for next year. We’ll have our zombie apocalypse survival app ready by then I hope.

Instead, I’m talking about Internet Explorer’s attempted rise from the ashes like a blue, squiggly phoenix. Earlier this year, Microsoft launched … Read the rest

Alan Waldo and his dark overlord

I recently went into the cave where Alan Waldo has nested. He battles the Render Buckets there with much vigor and vim… vim? Anyway, he’s very busy and focused on his task, so I had to ambush him to get his back-story. It went something like this:

ME: Alan! Guerilla interview

We’ve Got an App for That!

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Kris in Work

We were asked by one of our clients if we could figure out a way to loop video in iPad’s out-of-the-box video utility – no dice. So we did an exhaustive search of the app store for something that would allow creation of organizable playlists that loop. Suffice it to … Read the rest

R.I.P. Physical Media (1978-2011)

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Kris in Play, Work

Hammer PartyIt seems that the fix is in for good, old petroleum-based media. I can see your face, tears welling up to intimate, “Say it ain’t so, Broseph!” Well, I’m not the one telegraphing it through some pretty ham-fisted gestures.

The problem is, the public has been fighting going completely digital … Read the rest
