As a practicing, devout Mormon, I’m not really one to condone cuss-tastic* shenanigans of any kind, especially what is purportedly depicted in the new Book of Mormon broadway musical. That isn’t to say this new production has no intrinsic value – I haven’t seen it, so who am I to judge? All I know is [...]
At work today I had a discussion with a colleague about a Facebook graph object we had embedded on a website some months ago, an object that was showing some peculiar statistical behavior. According to its ‘Like’ button count, the object in question had tallied about 2,000 “likes”. However, on the Facebook admin page for [...]
Here’s a slideshow I put together for a presentation I gave earlier tonight covering the fundamentals of social media. The video inside is a very popular clip produced by YouTube user Socialnomics, AKA author Erik Qualman.

And guess what, [...]
You know, I can groan and roll my eyes at guys like Steve Jobs, who, for all his corp-o-speak is at least pretty blatant in his desires to produce a controlled software ecosystem rife with hipster-friendly products wherein Apple makes a big killing… and I can pat the boys in Redmond on the proverbial digital [...]
Last Saturday, us LA Mormonites held our 11th annual SM3/LA1 church film festival. An acquaintance of mine by the name of Emily Card wrote and directed this gem of a fake trailer, “Jane Austen’s Fight Club“. It won the festival grand prize hands down, and deservedly so. I loved the piece so much that I [...]
