I just got back from the best burning man ever. I did a few things differently this year, which I’ll continue to write about for a few posts unless I decide not to.
#1 is a project I called The Treatment.
As you may know, one of the core tenets of burning man (at least the burning […]

A lot of people (like me) are moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles, by which I mean from Silicon Valley to Hollywood, meaning from the Internet/Tech industry to the Entertainment industry.

They have the money, they benefit from exposure, they all have something to sell. My best theory so far is that their managers just don’t care about the internet, and/or prefer that information about their […]
January 15 marked the second anniversary of Rubyred’s official launch. Woohoo!
The original vision for the company was to do whatever we thought was fun, and that vision is still very much alive.
We also have a policy of implementing the dumbest ideas we could come up with. Here are a few examples:
