This morning I was watching a video about an application for the digital version of Wired magazine for tablet computers. This app is the result of a partnership between Wired and Adobe to make a compelling counterpart to traditional print magazines. Read the rest of this entry »
The SEA office flew down to Sacramento before the holidays to meet in person as a group, plan the next year, and have fun together over 4 days. My shoulder was (and is) out of commission (bike accident) so I missed this years ski trip to Tahoe; it sounded like everyone got along fine without me though.

The new Kanye West album is getting a lot of air play at the Sacto BKWLD studio. I think it’s appropriate everyone revisit this alternate version of the Can’t Tell Me Nothing video.
The beauty of this video is that the majority of Kanye West aficionados may not be aware that the video’s supporting actor (yes, the creepy bald guy with the mustache) is one of the most respected song writers of the last fifteen years. To those of us who have danced our first dances as man and wife, birthed our children into the world, and paid last respects to friends leaving it to his music, this video is quite surreal.
