Just Hit the 10,000 Email Mark in Gmail
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010This is the kind of post only a true web/tech/entrepreneur geek could love.
Was just checking my “All Mail” in Gmail to see the last message I sent out when 1 of 10000 (messages that is) caught my eye. Keep in mind that I clean/filter my Gmail from garbage almost daily to keep it organized. That being said, just about all of those emails are legitimate client back and forth messages from the past couple of years, not to mention that many of those emails are actually conversations full of about 50-100 self-contained back and forth messages between clients (over 100 for sure) and myself.
Truly remarkable, a great marker in my career, and Google/Gmail has been the headquarters of almost all my business endeavors/communications from nearly the start. So, here’s to the next 10,000 emails in the next couple of years, I’ve come a long way, we’ll see how much more I can learn and accomplish by then.
Thanks, Bryan

A Scary Future of Technology Sooner Than You Think
Thursday, October 29th, 2009For just about as long as humans have existed we’ve used technology and innovation to create weapons, from sharpened rocks and spears to WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction). The question of whether violence, crime and war will remain in our future is probably certain as long as humans inhabit the Earth, but that isn’t what I’m talking about.
As popularized by Science Fiction films like the Matrix and Terminator, I am talking about the idea of technology advancing to the point where we give it too much control or lose control of it altogether. We already have a lot of dependencies on technology, not just in our social, domestic and working lives (internet, cell phones, washer and dryer, fridge, alarm clocks, vehicles), but for our very lives themselves.
Something I Want To Address / Client/Professional Issues / My Values
Saturday, August 15th, 2009A lot lately I’ve been noticing some increasing problems with the design industry. Mostly I would like to address the issues I’m seeing with clients (or potential clients) not wanting to sign on to projects in the standard/professional way, they are asking for work before pay and only paying if the work is satisfactory out of fear of risk.
craigslist - Category for People That Can’t Pay Freelancers
Friday, July 24th, 2009NEW Category: pro-bono / economy computer
It’s a very obvious and huge problem with the computer and creative services categories that people are asking for free, equity or very low-paying work from freelancers.
There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with this, some freelancers are willing to take this kind of work. However, there should be a new category created;
pro-bono / economy computer (or something along those lines)
to separate paying and non-paying gigs. So, basically if someone is asking for free help, a partnership or aren’t willing to pay $20+ an hour they would post in this category instead. Please help out fellow freelancers and hopefully we can make this happen.
Thanks, Bryan

Web 3.0
Saturday, June 27th, 2009The Beauty of sIFR
Friday, June 26th, 2009Notice anything unique about this text? You can highlight it, you can copy and paste it… but it looks like a special font and even looks sharper than text on webpages usually does. Look closer, right-click anywhere over the text, it’s Flash.
Start Using Firefox!
Friday, June 26th, 2009If you’re still using Internet Explorer (IE), consider yourself out-dated.
The number one reason for this; IE is not open source and Firefox is. What this means is that anyone can contribute to making Firefox better. Number two reason is that IE is not standards compliant and Firefox is. This might not mean much to the average end user, but this has a caused a world of hurt for us Web Designers, Developers and Programmers.
