“Skwerls are the people who make the internet useful.” -Joel Stein, TIME Magazine (9/7/08)
I don’t think any of my favorite memories of John are appropriate for public display. Suffice to say that everything noteworthy discovered between the ages of 15 and 18, I discovered with John. From the third Led Zeppelin album, to casual substance abuse, to Girls.
Which, like Led Zeppelin, must be capitalized.
Hey there everyone. So at the beginning of 2008, I had about seven guitars and five bands. Now it’s 2009, and I’ve got zero bands and a kid on the way. So it’s time to sell a few of my toys to make room for diapers and playpens and various other things for her to drool & poop on. Just wanted to set up a single page with all the details.

I work with a bunch of graphic designers. You can tell which ones have the ability to go far in the field by gauging the activeness of their interest in it. Many just like to play with Photoshop. But some show genuine interest and excitement when others push the envelope and come up with new ideas. They shout, “motherfuckers!!” when they see something new and awesome, jealous that they didn’t think of it first. When interviewing, I care less about a potential co-worker’s skill level, and more about how many curse words come out of their mouth when they see something awesome.
One kid that I’ve got high hopes for sent me this link yesterday. We talked about it for 20 minutes, both equally impressed and pissed. We’re all so burnt out on marketing- it’s the same thing, over and over. The same ideas. The same transparent desperation to “go viral” despite being a completely manufactured antithesis of all truly viral phenomena.
But this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. And the execution is flawless. Click, and watch the trailer for the new Wario Land game. I promise you, you’ll have to watch it two or three more times. Which makes it more than just cool- it’s extremely effective. By the time you move on, you will most definitely be very aware of the product being sold, with a clear understanding of what it is and why you should buy it.
Hi there assholes and assholettes. Sorry I had to take the site down so abruptly, but it had a lot of personal information about me and several people close to me. It didn’t matter when it was only my friends and ex-friends stalking me, but then I got famous.
So what’s best for everyone now, especially me of course, is to come back on the scene sans emo journal, and focus on my resumé and creative output; More than just what I’ve done, but how I did it and what cool shit other people are beating me to doing. I guess I’ll be embracing the blog format a little more than I ever have before, but hopefully that’ll make this site more interesting to more than just my Mom.
