For all you USC haters out there

October 13, 2007

I’ve got a bunch of words for all of the sports writers, flip-floppers, and folks that have jumped off the bandwagon and completely abandoned the Trojans this season. But I’ll start with a very couth and sophisticated two: blow me. I’m really tired of hearing, “What’s up with your team?”, or “How does it feel [...]

Album Reviews: Wilco and Akon

October 7, 2007

You could very easily jump over to my profile at Last.fm to find out exactly what I’m listening to, up to the minute. But I think at times those dynamic utilities, at times can be disingenuous to what I’m really feeling. You know, there’s music I throw on when I’m reading a script or writing [...]

OpenID and mobile apps? Anyone? Bueller?

September 19, 2007

I first found out about OpenID through Basecamp as it accepts this relatively new authentication method, as do all of 37signals other properties (Backpack, Highrise, Campfire, etc.).

Introducing the newest Huntoon

I’d like to introduce you all to my new daughter: Zurhi Tolani Azizat Pelumi Emmanuella Alake Omolade Huntoon.

September 6, 2007

As my life is getting more and more hectic with a brand new baby girl, a new wife, and a new job, I’m finding that my free time is becoming more and more precious (as expected, really). My personal time online happens on the go, a majority of the time. My Motorola Q, except for [...]

I partnered up with the boys over at Krop.com to provide my readers with any creative job search help that I might provide. Of course, you could just go straight over to Krop.com, but what fun would that be? Isn’t it more fun to support affiliates? var krop_affiliate_id = “j6dd”;

Public services: use your spent tax dollars

July 29, 2007

If you fancy yourself a loyal citizen – and mind you, I’m not getting righteous and spilling yellow ribbons from my orifices – I hope that you take advantage of the services your tax dollars pay for in your town and country. There are a ton of great services that are sitting right under your [...]

Conversation with a client

July 27, 2007

I have decided that I’m going to start writing about some of my client communications here on this site. I’m under the impression that I need to speak my mind with my clients (within reason, of course) and give them my advice when it comes to the projects that they’ve hired me for. If I [...]

July 24, 2007

Folake, Sidney and I just returned from a 6-day vacation to see Mark and Francesca get married in Padernello which is west of Treviso and north of Venice, Italy.
