Down Time

Finally I’ve gotten around to posting another mix. This summer has been the busiest I’ve had in a long time between work, freelance, down time, and wanting to be outside enjoying the weather (and…

A work break for music.

I was getting some work done the other day, and thought I’d take a quick break to mix up some tunes. I felt like listening to some Dilla production. Then I thought, might as well take it one step further and film it w/my iPhone.

It’s normal that I’m bouncing around this much, if not more, when I’m recording mixing for my Press Record site. So, I guess, this is sort of a behind the scenes video.

Online campaigns matter. People online BUY things. (via)

Not surprised at all. They certainly got my business.

Second Act: Jay Shafer

Ten years ago, Jay Shafer downsized to an 89-square-foot house and reinvented both his lifestyle and career in the process.

Alexis and I struggle with the size of our house almost daily. Our modest house seems so overwhelming at times. We’re out and about in our city (walking, biking, shopping, etc) and don’t spend a whole lot of time actually in the house. There have been more than a few days where moving into a 89-square foot house seemed like a wonderful idea.

Check out Jay’s other house designs at his company’s website, Tumbleweed Houses.

I don’t know if I could downsize like this, but it’s pretty sweet.

The HTC 1, a personal project from designer Andrew Kim. Very nice work. I’d buy it.

P.S. Someone needs to hire him right now.

For every designer who’s had to “whip up a quick flyer” for some one in the office, please enjoy this brilliant exchange between designer David Thorne and the office secretary.

The Evening Commute:

One month goes by fast when you’re not recording mixes. So this is sort of a part two to the original Commute mix I did a few months back. This one weighs in at just over an hour, and pretty…

“We have to let go of the mentality that we can get better in huge chunks. When we think like that we often end up frustrating ourselves because we attempt to cram everything into one shot. Although it can be frustrating trying to improve in little chunks the results will show over time.”

Now that my daily commute is a bit longer (ranging from 35min. - 1hr), I think of very random things. This video is the result of a random idea I had when this song (Jamiroquai’s Dynamite) came on, so I started recording random video on my drive home.

I also wanted to play with the video recording on the iPhone 4.

I wish I would have recorded more, but I have a feeling this won’t be the last video.

Can’t. Wait.

Considering this. Not joking.
