I'm not sure I understand the danger in URL shorteners from what has been states in this post. If you would mind would you go intonmore detail. Thank you!

The top photo of you (mager) blogging has to be one of my most favorite photos to date!! I love it! As silly as this may sound it embodies exactly what I love about the internet. Call me a net fanatic, net addict whatever--and watch out I might bow graciously in response to such titles. lol

Peace!

"What you need to do is understand who you are and execute against it." What did he mean by this?

Re: Pedal (Blog): building a team

MacDavid — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:48:33 -0000

ok. i know nothing, nada, zippo about screenings and all that stuff (setting them up and what not). but i'll ask around where i go to school (Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale) from the digital film staff. that's as much as i can say. i don't like making promises so this is as far as i can come 'til i learn more. and i'll get back to you.

i guess, i'll tell them about your project and float the idea of a screening and see what happens..??? i don't know... mike let me know what's helpful to you. i'm busy as hell, but i'll try what i can at least. i'm not a film person.

in response to bvp663...i have no ulterior motive. i genuinely want to help...within reason and my time constraints.

Hey Mike and Amanda. Don't know if you guys are subscribers to Arin Crumley's tumblr blog, but I just read this in his recent email. He basically stated that he keeps a spreadsheet listing of theaters across the nation for places to potentially have film screenings.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet: http://www.editgrid.com/user/diy/Digital_Cinema...

And here is the link to Arin's tumbler blog: http://arincrumley.tumblr.com/post/88319693/dig...

Hope this helps.

Re: Twitter.com drops half of it's user friends/followers

MacDavid — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:22:06 -0000

If by any chance or miracle Twitter gets it's act together and stays consistent, I highly recommend it, especially in light of your HUGE blog following. P.S. I subscribed to two of your comments threads to stay up-to-date and regretted it. Are you aware that people comment on your blog by at least one person every hour on the hour around the clock. ...or at least for the previous two or three blog posts?

I really need to get on top of completing my videos for this month. Have some ideas and just haven't quite gotten around to them.

You're welcome Mike. And thank you for the kind word for my uncle. So far there are no major complications of any kind. Probably just a need for a change of lifestyle. He works in heavy labor on a regular basis, so I guess he'll be making adjustments soon.

Really you had never gone to that particular Apple Store?

Thank you both for your kind comments. I'll be posting a new video tomorrow morning. Watch for it. :). I think I will be good. *fingers crossed*

Oops typo! I meant to say that I think IT will be good.

Re: Rejected to Buy iPhone 3G at Apple Store

MacDavid — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:13:58 -0000

I can understand how that could have happened to him. I arrived to an extremely long line in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the Galleria Mall at 6:50am. I was told--thankfully--while in line that because I'm on a family plan, I would have to go to an AT&T store for my iPhone. Apple stores were not being permitted to handle special cases like that...dude said something of that nature. I wonder what happened to the poor guy in the video that he'd be rejected. Family plan?

Re: Google Reader = Zero!

MacDavid — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:00:40 -0000

I will never be able to do that because I have sooo many things that I have subscribed to. I always feel overwhelmed by my Google Reader, but at the same time I feel the need to have a wealthy supply of distraction when I need it via laptop or iPhone. ^_^

Re: Wishing Photos on Blogs were Optional

MacDavid — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:19:24 -0000

I don't mind a pic in every blog post so long as it's tastefully done in a non-obstructive manner. The one's you have above where the photo is floating to the right or the left with the text wrapping around it is a sin in my book--I absolutely hate that style. It's a very newspaper-like layout to me and well, the web is not a newspaper, therefore blogs shouldn't resemble them.

That's just my two and half cents on the matter. ^_^

Re: Wishing Photos on Blogs were Optional

MacDavid — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:23:18 -0000

Oh, in regards to daringfireball.net, I have been subscribed to him for a while, but what keeps me from reading it is the dark background (hard on my eyes), and endless lines of texts, so much, that the posts appear to run together. It's a one part aesthetic and one part visual handicap issue for me--primarily the latter. Dark sites hurt my eyes!

Re: Strategy. Focus. Simple. Delivery. Planning

MacDavid — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:38:41 -0000

Great advice Adam. And the reason I say it's great advice and trust it is because I've done it three times within the past year. I've "re-branded" myself once and so far it's paying off slowly, but it is a lot of work and takes a lot of my time. So sometimes I'll give prior notice and announce that I am taking an iBreak or Blogatical (think sabbatical). Curious, did Ben take your advice?

Re: Taking full advantage of the things you already own

MacDavid — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 01:19:08 -0000

I just started utilizing what I've got three weeks ago and it's made a big difference. Granted I did splurge on an expensive video camera...but I didn't own one at the time. I've been borrowing a pretty low quality one. Anyway, I'm utilizing my digital camera (Samsung S85; 8.2 megapixels) more and finally started tapping into the ISO settings, 16:9 vs 4:3, white balancing, metering, quality settings, etc. I still however do not bother with the effects because I think it's limiting later on. For example if I have a photo that I add a tint to via the cameras built in video effects, I will be unable to reverse it in photoshop if I feel the need to change it. So effects are a "NO, NO" to me. Great post.

Thanks Colin!

Re: 10 Social Media Tips (Finally)

MacDavid — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:43:37 -0000

Awesome post! Eye opening. I am not a person with a brand, startup or what not, but I'm just intrigued by the industry you speak of and how it's developing. Although, I must say that I still fail to see what people are getting from attending all these conferences. Some of the conferences I see peolpe tweet about are mashups of the same thing again and again. Or are these folks just networking?

Don't mean to betray myself by displaying my ignorance when it comes to this stuff, but I kind of don't get it.

Thanks and adding your blog to my Google Reader.

Re: What Are A Million Social-Media Followers, Friends Or Subscribers Worth?

MacDavid — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:39:47 -0000

Twitter can indirectly lead to some revenue for any given company or freelancer that obtains great twitter followers as clients. But as was pointed out, Twitter itself doesn't garner any user revenue outright, and I think that's okay. I still think Twitter is a valuable tool for learning about what people are saying about your brand/company/product or what have you. I find that the real time feedback that Twitter allows to any user is extremely valuable information. It's not a purely effective survey tool because the bias lies in the fact that you one mostly likely has followers because they like what's being offered.

So yeah, that's my 2 cents on the matter.
