  • What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say

    What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say

    Initiating a conversation online may cause severe writer’s block. One of the boons of meeting someone in person is that you’re forced to work through the awkwardness pretty quickly. But online? It’s so incredibly easy to stare at your screen (or their picture…) and freeze up. What do you say? I won’t give you three easy steps […]

  • World of Warcraft Movie Has One Chance to Deliver

    World of Warcraft Movie Has One Chance to Deliver

    We want the upcoming World of Warcraft film to be the bees’ knees. Actually, we want it to deliver more than the final Hobbit installment delivered. The problem, though, isn’t that the film should be great. The problem is that films adapted from video games are a tough sell. Remember Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? […]

  • Lunch at Local Foods Was the Right Call

    Lunch at Local Foods Was the Right Call

    1:30 P.M. cst The “Bahn Mi” at Local Foods was delicious. I’m quickly growing fond of Houston fare. So far, our last four meals were American, Mexican, Tex-Mex and Vietnamese. Why haven’t I been to Houston sooner?

    Day 3! Let’s Play a Game Called Drink the Coffee

    9:47 A.M. cst After back-to-back late nights, coffee is in high demand. I should probably add sugar to kickstart the morning, but Pat makes his coffee stronger than Kurt Russell’s performance in Tombstone. What’s up first on today’s list? More coding.  

  • Coding Done (For Now). Next Up, Strategy

    Coding Done (For Now). Next Up, Strategy

    10:42 P.M. cst We’ve coded. We’ve been social. We’ve eaten out three times in the last four meals. Now it’s time for some long term strategy. Can’t thank our members enough!

    This Coding Binge Brought To You By Karbach Brewing Co.

    Coding binges are like cleaning sprees. They hit when you don’t really expect it, and then you’re knee deep in code and don’t want to be disturbed. We summoned a Sympathy for the Lager to help the cause.

  • Lunch! Lupe Tortilla FTW

    Lunch! Lupe Tortilla FTW

    This was a grueling decision that took hours of debate. Finally we reached consensus. Casey, “I want Mexican food.” Pat, “Let’s go to Lupe Tortilla.” Casey, “Ok!”

  • We Need Breakfast. Stat.

    We Need Breakfast. Stat.

    9:35 A.M. cst After a long night of planning, social media fun and watching the NBA draft, I need some breakfast. Protein Bar it is. Probably followed by a yogurt cameo. Have to eat healthy at least for breakfast. Because at some point today nachos of some sort is coming into play.

  • Coffee This Late Only Means One Thing: The Live-Blogging Weekend Begins!

    Coffee This Late Only Means One Thing: The Live-Blogging Weekend Begins!

    9:48 P.M. cst After a not-too-long plane trip and good pizza at Luna Pizzeria, the weekend officially begins! Cups of water play Robin to black coffee’s Batman. Let the games (and blogging) commence. Round 1: discussing metrics and brainstorming site improvements!

    Live Blogging from Houston Starts Thursday, June 25!

    Starting tomorrow we’ll be live blogging from our Houston office. If you want to get a feel for what is about to go down, take a quick peek at the founders story. We’ve been up to tomfoolery and shenanigans for quite some time now, but this weekend, it’s going to be all business. Well, mostly […]
