Lacie Hard Drives Suck

mr.b — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:45:00 +0000

Almost 2 years ago I bought a 500GB Lacie external hard drive for the Peggy Sirota project I did in 07. I had tons of DVDs to rip and then convert to FLV and there was no time to do HD research or wait for FedEx to come without paying an arm and a leg [...]

I’ve been Tweeting, updating Facebook and emailing people for the past few months about our need to staff up at Grow but I haven’t had a lot of luck thus far. With all the hardship stories out there about budget cuts and agency layoffs I thought we were going to have our pick of the [...]

It’s not everyday that you win awards or get featured in magazines. This year however has been the exact opposite as Grow has humbly won several awards and been featured in several articles for our work on Thank You Begins With a T. The site is a way to say thanks to our clients as [...]

Free VA DMV Registration: How To

mr.b — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 02:36:17 +0000

I walked out to my truck yesterday afternoon and noticed something hanging off the rear of the truck. Mind you, I approached the vehicle from the side view, not seeing the back. At first I thought “what the heck is that hanging off my truck?” then “dang, someone tried to take my license frame off.” [...]

1 Year Later

Over the last month I’ve had a bit more time during the evenings to do some reading and catch up on things. One of those things is my personal “stuff” like my portfolio and this blog. I haven’t changed the portfolio (outside of project updates) in over 5 years and I realized this blog hasn’t [...]

George Richmond Launch

Yet another late post this week. Together with Knowawall in New York we just launched George Richmond’s new portfolio site. Noah Wall did a beautiful design on the UI which is almost 100% of the site. It’s simple and intuitive and offers both a next/prev type browsing method as well as a traditional navigation menu. The most difficult part [...]

Week in Nag’s Head

It’s a bit over due but last month my family and I took a few days off and drove down to the Outer Banks in N.C. for some much, much needed and much over due R&R. This is our first vacation with a decent camera and we got about 400 some random images over the [...]

Storm Damage

We just had some wicked thunderstorms roll through Virginia Beach today knocking out power, phone lines, snapping trees and more. Our street has tons of very old large trees and we lost 3 huge branches from some surrounding ones this afternoon. One landed right on my deck less than a few feet from our sliding [...]
