Beyond Information

Happy February - I am trying something new: a collection of recent hits from Youtube. I am just sharing to expand my niche in cultural information.

100 Day Moonshot

Feeling like the world is getting so big? Too complicated, need a break? Is it so multi dimensions that you feel like you need a new set of glasses just to see across the horizon? I think so too. What ever happened when the world kicked off it’s collective initial...

The complicated business of sports streaming (NHL)

@NHL - there was a time when you had your own app. It wasn’t great, but what we have now is even worse. I’m not going to get into the business semantics of media black outs, but I will say, other leagues and platforms have graced fans with experiences that gloss over...

The first of the Apple Vision Pros

I'm not sure I've seen 100% of the embargoed Vision Pro content that has hit the web in the last 24 hours, but I have seen and heard a load of criticism that just doesn’t provide the flattering light I would like to see lit against what is in the same breath billed as...

Search Engine Optimization is snake oil

Today we’re talking about search engine optimization. Do not be confused, good SEO is snake oil. That said, analytics, and data driven search engine optimization is like driving into the open road with a map in your glovebox. If you lose your cell phone, and get lost,...

Repository Immegration

SASS repository vendors typically have a hard limit on the size of each and every commit you make. This script gets around that, by committing every folder recursively, one by one. This script allows you to add every folder as a single commit, so that we can get...

High Efficiency Compression & Automation

I started wondering about file compression during my start as a filmmaker. I would play around and evaluate how much footage or “time” I had left on my drive to edit video.. I’m not getting into estimation math much or at all in...
