Win $25,000 for creating a single vlog post!

$25,000 for a single video. For many of the folks I know creating “internet TV shows” that’s a very significant amount of money.

What’s the one gift you can always get a photo-happy geek?

A new camera, of course! I’ll admit it. I’m spoiled rotten. I’ve only had my new camera for 2 days, and I’m completely ruined on other cameras! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back. My new toy is the Canon S3 IS, recommend by Jon, affirmed by the beautiful shots taken with [ READ MORE ]

Happy Australia Day from Clipmarks!

Adam is our resident Aussie here in the Clipmarks office, and he was awesome enough to bring in a few cans of Fosters in celebration of Australia Day!

Is it just me, or is there an abnormally large number of great folks in the new web communities that have sprung up in the past few years?

Linux vs Windows vs Mac

A few months back, I gave up linux after a 3.5 year love hate relationship, and went back to windows for a while. It wasn’t horrible, but there were lots of things I missed. I missed the fact that I had a solid unix system underneath. I missed having SSH, SFTP, and VNC built in [ READ MORE ]

Wisdom from the bathroom wall: Zombies! Know who’s a stand up dude in the event of a zombie crisis. Aim for the brain pan. Always save a bullet for yourself. Rules to live by. (PS – if you haven’t seen Shaun of the Dead yet, rent it now. Sara and I were skeptical, but it [ READ MORE ]
