Since78 Poppin’ Bangin’ Slangin’ Guest Mix

Once again Brian Gossett and Bryan Lee bring us a sweet new poppin’ mix. It’s a straight up booty shaker so if you aren’t up and dancing by the 3rd minute then you’re missing out. Check out more of Brian’s mixes on his website.

BKWLD vs ground(ctrl) softball game

Thanks Greg Patterson of ground(ctrl) for putting this together.  Game time in a couple hours!

Update:

BKWLD Wins!  It was a great day and a close game.  Ground(ctrl) led with an early lead that they kept through most of the innings but BKWLD gradually wore away at it, eking out a victory in the last inning thanks to Shelby.

Cold Wind Blowing in the Witching Hour




Brian Gossett’s
mixes are regularly being played over the speakers up here in the Seattle office for quite some time so I wanted to take this opportunity to post one. To introduce this mix let me just say that it is a fairly dour and chilly compilation intended to capture the essence of the months of November and December. The artwork—always nicely done—is a clear reflection of the music.

This mix was contributed to The Mixtape Club which invites artists, musicians, and all around music lovers to make 10 song mixes. The mixes live on their website for about a month so be sure to catch them.

Simple Connections

I have been playing around with a handful of social integration utilities for Wordpress and so far the Simple Twitter/Facebook Connect plugins from Otto are by far the easiest, most feature useful and stable that I have found.

You will see that this post was simply, and easily posted to our FB Fan Page – http://www.facebook.com/BKWLD and tweeted (http://twitter.com/BKWLD)

The plugins have some really fun features – like automagically grabbing any “@” handles and linking them back to twitter – @BKWLD

Do you guys have any other favorite Wordpress plugins or add ons you find endlessly useful?

Kicking It Up a Notch with Digital Magazines

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.

Photos from Sacramento summit

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.  Going up to Tahoe is sort of a BKWLD tradition at this point, I think this was the 4th or 5th time.   Of all the photos I took, these came out the least blurry, which is pretty sad.  If someone with more skills and a better camera has some shots, please replace mine in this post!

Happy New Year everyone, looking forward to an amazing 2010!

Augmented reality mobile game

Jeff passed this around earlier this month, showing a practical use of augmented reality that was handled very elegantly by AKQA.  This isn’t flash, but shows another huge leap for this emerging technology:

Your mom is on twitter

Seems every Tom, Dick and Harry these days is talking about and hawking their Twitter. I’m trying to figure out when I started Tweeting – searched my email and found a message from Eddie, dated March 11th, 2007 simply saying “http://twitter.com”.

I’m thinking then I’ve been tweeting for over two years, and to say the technology, support and people using it has changed drastically is an understatement, but I’ve been using it the exact same way from day one. Here’s an example of both of these concepts. I used the site http://myfirsttweet.com to find my very first tweet (there’s a friggin’ cottage industry of these kinds of site):
