This week’s vlog covers a lot of range. I really hope it doesn’t come off too ranty. I got some sweet footage of a bald eagle out at the Lexington Reservoir in Los Gatos. Pliny the Younger was just released, and I got the opportunity to try this year’s batch. I talk about taxes and …

Just got home from Austin and finished up the edit for this week. I riff a bit about meeting online friends IRL, my frustrations with California, and some of the clues we found around our Airbnb… I didn’t add it to the vlog, but all of us there from the Beaver Builder team filmed an …

This week, I did the San Jose Bike Party, fixed my internet, and played tourist in (almost) my own town with a photo/hyperlapse mission to Monterey, CA. Honorable mentions to State of Mind Public House & Pizzeria, Essential Spirits Alambic Distilleries, and The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Keeping Your Sh*t Together (grab your copy here). I …

Music by Scott Pemberton. The star of the show: our update post. This week, I dug into the story of what I do for work and why I love it! I tell the story about how Beaver Builder started and why I am passionate about free, open-source software and WordPress. One thing I didn’t explain well …
Thanks a ton @ Scott Pemberton for the tunes. Check out his channel, I guarantee you’ve never seen anyone play the guitar like this. Happy Valentine’s Day! This week, I had an idea all planned out and scrapped it a few days in and decided to go snowboarding instead. I dabbled with some stop motion …

I am back at home this week and doing my best to keep the vlog going. I filmed the lunar eclipse and, of course, had to feature Pink Floyd on the tunes for a spacey, psychedelic moon-inspired vlog… Also celebrated my Mom’s birthday at an almost-too-fancy restaurant. Good times!
Part 2 of my Denver travel vlog. I had so much fun editing this, but I realized all the things I could have done better when filming. Super fun stuff, though. More to come for sure! Music by: • Ripe• A random creative commons snow song • A dude jamming on the street
I started off 2018 with a couple of posts on the blog here, but I am also making an effort to start working more with video. I made a two-part vlog about my trip to Denver as an effort to learn about filming and editing. I just finished up the edit on part 2 and …

I love reading and learning. I am a voracious reader, but I very rarely read books. My reading material almost entirely consisted of web articles and blog posts. I was turned on to a book called Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion and I really wanted to read it. Although, this has happened several times before. I …

There is a really powerful commentary on social media making rounds recently. The rumblings go deeper than this one man and this one video. As an avid social media user, I think it’s important to realize and understand this idea of “dopamine driven feedback loops” and both their power and their danger. I might be …
