Due to a recent butt injury, I had to leave work a little early today. As I was heading home, I kept stopping to photograph the sunset, Sutro Tower, and Buddy the skateboarding dog.

Mark, the doggies owner, says he hasn’t tried to train Buddy to skate or anything. It’s just something he enjoys doing. Radical!

Been doing a bit of dating lately and getting my hearthole beat up a little in the process. So Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” has been stuck in my headhole for a bit. I love this Gabriel-esque video too.

Speaking of videos, I originally heard “Somebody…” via this fantastic video by Walk Off The Earth, which is everybit as good (if not better) than the original.

Perhaps the cutest video ever, this kid has swagger and stays on rhythm… can’t wait to see what happens when he learns some vocab.

The ever-delightful-Canadian-indie-rap-star known as Buck 65 has a great zombie themed music video for Zombie Delight, off of 20 Odd Years. I missed this video when it first came out, but I happened to be working on a zombie song myself when I noticed this video over on Z’s bloghole.

The tongue in check humor in Zombie Delight reminds me of Buck’s 15 year old indie-classic “Centaur“.

My chats with Peter S. Conrad are becoming the highlights of my yearly visit to the SF ZineFest. Each year Peter has a new comic book that plays around with the comic book format. Last year I blogged about his wonderfully detailed cassette-tape comic, and this year I had a chance to talk with him about the newest issue of his Attempted Not Known comic, which plays around with the idea of a lottery-ticket comic.

Here’s Peter showing off the denim-pen-case he bought from my table last year.

I did a thing! It’s great working with the Revision3 guys and I’m hoping we’ll have some more iPhone photography segments in the future!

This! This video of Baths performing live at Amoeba is SOOO fucking professional! Sorry to fan-boy out here, but I’m just so impressed. Such a great show, and it’s just an in-store!

Wow, things have been crazy busy for the last few weeks. I’ve been waiting for some free time with which to properly blog about it all, but that isn’t appearing… so today I’m testing out the 20 minute Getting Things Done Method, just to finally update my blog.

About a month ago I got a call from Matt Brezina asking if I was interested in joining Sincerely, Inc as a community manager. Though I loved working as a video game designer at Tribal Games, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with mobile phone photography full time.

Sincerely is a company that makes it easy to send real physical copies of photos through the mail. Many of you may already know I’ve been a HUGE fan of their Postagram app, which allows you to send postcard versions of Instagram photos. I’ve sent Postagrams to friends, strangers, and even as thank you cards to local restaurants, so I’m so stoked to get a chance to work with other people who love the product as much as I do.

My first day with Sincerely was on a Saturday. I had just finished my last day of work with Tribal and only had a few hours to pack somethings for a company “workation” to Puerto Vallarta. We worked from inside the pool, got attacked by dogs, played Settlers of Catan, and released the PopBooth app. Success! Then I flew back home for an appearance on the awesome App Judgement show with Mau and Anthony.

I’ve been learning a lot about community management… mostly I’ve learned how little I ACTUALLY knew about using social networks and working with communities. It’s way more challenging than I had originally thought. Did I mention I’m testing out better time management tools? Speaking of, only 4 minutes left to add some pictures and video links.

I’m loving the new job! I’ve had a bunch of cool gigs in my life (pro-yo-yoer, game designer, denim tailor, hair model), but this job has been one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to grow into it more. I’m loving our new downtown offices (lets do lunch!) and my co-workers are all freaking brilliant.

BTW, we are on the hunt for web devs and iOS devs. If you know of someone who may be interested, please get in touch with me ASAP at doc@sincerely.com. We have some cool new projects in the works and it’s a great time to have a big influence on the work we are doing.

This short film, filmed with two Nokia phones, is brilliant and fantastically well done. Found via the LaughingSquidhole.

I posted recently about the Sound Souvenirs project, who kindly asked me to pick my top ten favorite songs. They’ve recently posted a video of me talking more rather passionately about each of my choices. As a reminder, anyone can vote for their favorite songs on the list.
