Love: it really is a social thing →
One of the great (and frankly overlooked) aspects of social media is its ability to bring unrelated things together … in this case a fast food chain and a car manufacturer. Both brands faced quite an obstacle this week, with their Twitter accounts having been hacked. With both brands back to normal, Burger King reached out to Jeep in a simple, yet powerful showing of support.
Would we have...

Trying to master the master
I’m really trying to take this DJ thing to the next level. It’s risky, but no reward to anybody has ever come without a risk associated with it. Right now, I keep running into a wall of jibber jabber, concepts and procedures that is audio mastering. And let me tell you, it is one tough thing to master.

Now I’m laughing at myself because I’m actually writing a blog post about this. What am I? A teenage girl?

Designing CONAN →

An article I wrote a while ago about the launch of the TBS show.
In March of 2010, it was announced that Conan O’Brien would be embarking on a three month national stand-up comedy tour. I was lucky enough to be assigned Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog’s segment. I worked on the pieces at home, communicating with Robert Smigel (the man behind Triumph), and head writer Mike Sweeney...
