Re: What To Do With All These Numbers and Faces

Jon Dale — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 09:50:53 -0000

Sam, this beautiful. Thank you. Like you I’ve been struck by how this is impacting people.

Yesterday I made a trip to the grocery store and found myself in tears when I saw a young man with a dog with a vest that said “PTSD Dog”. He was wearing a beanie, dark glasses and headphones. I’m not exactly sure why that was the moment, but I was suddenly struck by the stress everyone is experiencing. Some combination of three weeks of pent up grief, God’s heart for the world right now, and my soul picking up on the collective fear and it spilled over in my own face right there on the soda isle.

I’ve mostly been impressed by how the people I know are seizing this opportunity to be the body of Christ right now. Thanks for the reminder that often the best way to do that is to simply offer a smile to another human who is scared.

This is one of the best articles I’ve read since subscribing to WIRED when the magazine was launched. A beautiful dance between heart and science. I’ve not wept this much reading a magazine in...well...ever.

Thank you.

I love you Allan. You’re a good man. I hope our family’s paths cross this year.

Yes, still loving YNAB and debt free for almost a year.

Have you checked out YNAB? We've been using it for years now and it's changed our financial lives. The one difference is no need for cash envelopes. And as of May of this year we're debt free except our house thanks to YNAB.

Re: YouTube rolls out sponsorships monetization feature to gamers

Jon Dale — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 00:04:50 -0000

We're really excited about this becoming available for other categories. We're a family vlog and think that we might have a lot of people interested in becoming sponsors, especially if it means their chats and comments are highlighted. This reminds me a lot of patreon which seems to be working really well for a lot of creators.

It would be awesome if YouTube also provided a way for us to provide unique content just for sponsors.

When we go live on YouTube the flow of comments is so fast that there's no way we can even begin to read them. Super Chat is great because it allows fans to make sure that their comments are seen.

Re: Tags and Locations! Now available on Social Blade

Jon Dale — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 23:30:10 -0000

I was looking to authenticate our YouTube account to add tags and the permissions asked for are basically full management of our channel. There's no way we'll allow that. Do you have a lower way to authenticate?

Such a good point about school teaching kids not to bother with extra. Good stuff.

Hey Jason, thanks for sharing the SB story. We're huge fans of socialblade. The only site we look at more frequently is YouTube. Thanks for doing what you do.

Thats really good Steve. Measurable.

Re: DexCom: Why They Are So Reluctant to Replace a Bad Transmitter

Jon Dale — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 21:17:02 -0000

I'm on hold with Dexcom right now. We had a G5 transmitter that's given us a signal loss message about half the time for the last few months. We finally got so frustrated we just switched to a new transmitter early and voila everything is working fine. Initially they said they couldn't replace the bad transmitter because we didn't troubleshoot with them before replacing it.

They just came back on the line and said they'd been able to confirm the signal loss that we'd described and they would be sending us a new one. So all is well that ends well and it's definitely worth calling them if you have an issue.

They're very friendly.

Re: Allan's Ten Year Goals From 2003

Jon Dale — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:47:04 -0000

I love this so much! It's amazing how much just putting pen to paper does. We had a similar experience finding some written goals from when Amy and I first got married.

Re: Learning How To Sail...Allan's advice.

Jon Dale — Sat, 24 Dec 2016 11:13:14 -0000

I learned to sail as a kid in England at a sailing school. Loved it. Sailed competitively all the way through high school. That's one of my few regrets about living in Colorado. I don't get to teach my kids how to sail.

Thanks for the post!

Man, you're so right. If I had a dollar for every time I wished I was on my XR rather than a GS during the sections of the trip in the backcountry. But the BMWs were really nice on the open road, completely capable off-road and I couldn't fit gear for a 1000 miles on my XR.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the trailer and comment.

Hi there. My name is Jon Dale and I'm one of the producers and cast for this film.

First, thanks for taking the time to watch the trailer. While I don't expect to change your opinion of us in a comment exchange I can assure you that unless this film succeeds in far passing all our wildest hopes in theaters we won't come close to breaking even on this project. We are very fortunate to have a couple of organizations that really believe in this project that provided the funds needed for the production. We also had the generous support of many of the companies whose gear you see in the film who provided the equipment we needed. Our original plan was not to release in theaters but instead to release the film online and on dvd only. However as we got into the post production phase we realized that this is footage best viewed on a really big screen and that's when we approached Fathom Events about a one night event in theaters.

Again, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I hope we get a chance to meet, grab a drink and even go for a ride some day. I've found that when I'm on two wheels next to someone else on two wheels very few of our differences of opinion matter.

Hi Brent. My name is Jon Dale and I'm one of the producers of the film and a member of the cast. We're working towards making the film available online on Amazon and iTunes after the one day event in Theaters.

Thanks for checking out the trailer.

Hi TJ,

My name is Jon Dale and I'm one of the producers of the film and a member of the cast. Five of us are actually from Colorado. Dan, the older gentleman, is from Seattle. We live in these mountains and have really enjoyed discovering a new way to get around in them. Hollywood hasn't been involved in this film. If they had they might have helped us pay for it which would have been nice :).

Like I mentioned in another comment, I've never been accused of being a hipster before. But since I'm a dad of four kids I'll take it as a compliment.

The three younger guys in the film...I can see calling them hipsters, they're definitely way more hip than I am. However, most of the ADV riding community here in Colorado that I ride with is just excited to see younger riders getting into the sport.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the trailer. I hope you'll give the full film a chance. I think you'll find a lot of really rings true as to why we all ride.

Hi there. My name is Jon and I'm one of the producers of the film and s member of the cast.

I've never been accused of being a hipster before. But I'll take it as a compliment :). The three younger guys, I can see why you might use that label. But then again, most of the guys I ride with are just excited to see younger guys getting into the sport.

I think if you give the full film a chance you'll really enjoy it and find a lot that rings true to your experience as a rider.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the trailer.

Beautiful Sam. This is such a good reminder. I think I'll start running with my phone as well. And find a prettier place to run (I've been doing a route on sidewalks, I think I need to hit trails instead).

This is a killer post. It would be nice if Buffer would automatically give us a report like this.

We use RJ Metrics and I'm wondering if we can tie in to your API to get the data we need for this. We already suck all the google analytics data into our account.

Jay,

I think you'll love YNAB. We're pretty much a YNAB office now :).
