Beer Review: Light Beer + Exercise = Still Fat
I’m getting fat. That’s a factual statement… not a hyper-sensitive, metro-sexual complaint. If I didn’t spend half my life in gyms and weight rooms, this probably wouldn’t bother me so much. But, alas, it does. Recently, with Spring here and vacation plans looming, I’ve attempted to make the move to light beer in an attempt to prepare myself for a bathing...

West Coast Road Trips - No Thank You
As the Phillies limped their way from Arizona to San Francisco last night it dawned on me… West Coast road trips blow! I mean, I’ll find a way to watch the Phillies in a Vietnamese death camp with bamboo reeds sticking out of my fingers… but it doesn’t make the experience pleasant. Never mind who wins or loses… the God damned game doesn’t start until...

Reporting from Clearwater... It's Too Cold to be...
This was my first year going down to Clearwater for Spring Training. The stadium was packed, my kid was sick and I forgot to bring my camera to the ballpark… twice. So all those memorable moments watching the game with my dad… they were left in a hotel room 10 minutes from the ballpark.
But all in all, the “game experience” was pretty sweet. There is something incredibly...

Sure Saint Patrick was a Saint... but Man Could He...
I love Saint Patrick’s Day. It’s a terrible excuse for people to throw on the only green thing they own, drink way too much Guinness and end up face down in a pile of emerald trinkets. I’m a little Irish - which basically means nothing - so I take a little pride in rolling out for every March 17th hell raising. Shit… I used to take off from work every year for the...

It’s no secret that mobile browsing and smartphone platforms like the iPhone and Google’s Nexus One are having a significant impact on how we access the internet. As new browser technologies and platforms pop up frequently, we as strategists and developers are constantly challenged to adopt new approaches and development practices. Of course, as these new technologies become available, we also...

Pitchers and Catchers: Hope Springs Eternal
So I kind of stole that title from the Sports Illustrated article I just read about small market teams getting ready to make good on their promise to “wait ‘til next year”. What can I say… it’s been a busy week… and if you’re reading this, that means I most likely know you… and you know better ways to spend your time than to sue my overly inflated...

Touché
Me: This project was a total pain in the ass. I thought it was only going to take me a couple hours... it took me eight.
Wife: I feel like that's how all your projects are.

Beer Review: Franziskaner Dark Wheat... Like...
You will never have sex with Halle Berry… and neither will I. You will only have a roughly vague day-dream of an idea of what it might possibly be like. Only it’ll be the same foggy day-dream of winning the lottery or possibly the World Series. You will be sitting next to Derek Jeter as his carriage moves through the Canyon of Heroes… and inexplicably a unicorn will walk by.

When Jeff Buckley Saved My Life
So I’m watching this Hope for Haiti benefit… very on point… totally impressive. I just watched Justin Timberlake and some other guy I didn’t recognize rip up a righteous version of Hallelujah. It was moving. Of course this conjures up memories of Jeff Buckley and his (in my opinion) masterpiece, Grace. Too bad he died so young.
For me, it brings back the summer of...

Hiring Fail - The hard lessons learned hiring and... →
Wil Reynolds is my boy. Absolutely the most honest, curtious dude I’ve ever had the priviledge of working with. Oh… and he’s REALLY good at what he does… and he generally picks up beers when you’re out with him. But this is just one more reason to like him.
While we’re not an SEO company - we hire Wil and SEER Interactive for that - we have experienced much of...

Why Mark McGwire's Steroid Admission Totally...
First of all… how about that title! Seriously… I look forward to the day where I single-handedly forever unite the terms “Yuengling” and “McGwire” in a Google query. I mean hell… if he had only juiced up on the Lager, instead of those nasty roids, his path to the hall would have been lined with sweet amber-gold.
Okay… so Mark McGwire admitted to...

Welcome. If you are reading this you are most likely my mom or my dad or my wife… or I pay you in some capacity or another. Or maybe you’re a friend and a little curious about this… anyways… thanks for stopping by.
I have worked on this damn thing for 3 months. I chose Tumblr for a few reasons…
I’m busy, and this was really easy to set up… and I...

30 Artistic and Creative Resumes →
I get a million resumes every week… alright maybe not a million… we’ll say *several*. I always say I can tell more about the designer by the layout / design / creativity of the resume than the actual content. These are all pretty sweet ideas… not sure which one I like best.
