Take your haircut for a walk

Take your haircut for a walk

I decided to get an iced coffee and thought… hmmm… will it be worth carrying a camera?

Yes.

American Apparel

My business partner Ryan was just saying that he liked the American Apparel aesthetic, yet couldn’t see himself wearing the clothes. After seeing this video I now think he can totally rock it. Go ahead Ryan… just start with some wristbands.

Kevin Federline is role model

KFED

It is a fact that Family Courts are stacked against men. Yes, I know that there is the issue of “Deadbeat-Dads” and the biological pre-programming that makes women more nurturing than the their testosterone-laden counterparts. But the courts have traditionally felt that barring alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, and/or extreme mental instability—children should always stay with their mother. How many fathers in custody fights have argued that—the issue is not whether “she” is a bad parent—but who is the better parent? Let’s be positive… what if the mother is a good mom, but the father is slightly better? Where do the courts stand on that situation? They probably would ask if the mother is a crack addicted prostitute—if no—mom gets the kids.

So in comes Kevin Federline. This marginal character in pop-culture… the guy that everyone thought would be “history” and a nobody (again) once Britney came to her senses. And what does he do? He wins custody of his kids. Unbelievable. Is Kevin Federline a role model for all men embroiled in custody battles? Or is Britney Speares a meth-addicted prostitute? Hmmmmm.

Flash babysitter

Ryan recently saw this post on an unnamed messageboard:

I have a customer whose son needs a Macromedia Flash tutor. The child is 9 and already on his way to developing games in Flash! They are willing to come to the tutor and pay an hourly rate. They live in Woodbury.

The Fame Game

Who We Are?

Even the best of them do it. But jesus… there’s got to be another way to name a nav item that directs people to the answer to the question… “who exactly are they?”

“Who we are” sounds declarative… as if it’s tied to beliefs or something… but it sounds quite pompous. I’m more a fan of the old “About Us” I’d even be open to a “We be”… ya know… keepin’ it real and all. I’m not a sticklar for grammar… but “Who we are” makes no sense at all.

Yes, those are my shoulder boards… Ryan and I (Charles) suited up and took control of a Citation. Went to PA and did a shoot for the new website.
