Our New Shrines | Contents Magazine:
What is a publisher anymore, anyway? A blog is a magazine. A magazine a blog. A newspaper a WordPress install. A Twitter account a journalist. The physical and experiential boundaries that defined mediums have dissolved, continue to dissolve. Differences in types of content are now largely semantic. There was a time when “blog” was a word derided by journalists. There was a time when nytimes.com would not host a blog. Would not dare put bloggers beneath their banner. Not place them within their shrine. The Atlantic, too. Others, also. Now, many of their sections look like blogs. Feel like blogs. Are run atop blog software.

L.L. Bean Customer Satisfaction Survey

I had a great experience with LL Bean. My door mat is great, the L.L. Bean Customer Satisfaction Survey, not so much.

This is the first page, and you have to respond to each question.

How about an option to say LIKE or DISLIKE?

I've never seen a YouTube link that allows linking OUTSIDE YouTube!

Dee and Dave Reception - 8/12/12

Let There Be Light - Dee and Dave Wedding

There was a huge storm during the wedding reception. The power went out and the band had to stop. Then they wheeled a piano on to the dance floor and played and sang a song without power. Then the power came back on!



Feel The Vibration



Dancing - Shout, Jesse, Right Now.



How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

The power went out and the band sang acapella while Dee and Dave cut the cake. It was an amazing moment!

Dee and Dave Wedding - 8/12/12



My cousins Dee and Dave were married this weekend, and I had a lot of fun shooting video at the wedding.

Here's the first part of the day including the wedding ceremony.

Updated for Worse: Toast-R-Oven Classic™

This Toast-R-Oven design destroys the ease of use of prior designs.

In order to make toast, you need to turn the dial to your desired level of darkness.

In previous models, all you had to do was set the darkness level once, the press "Start Toast" to make your toast.

Don't make me think!
