We’ve been doing a lot of work since our last post about the new office space. This time around, you won’t find very many big changes to the walls, desks or space itself. The most notable additions are the full size mannequins that just so happened to grace us with their presence overnight a couple [...]
This past Tuesday, I turned 21. Woohoo! But, this blog post isn’t my plea for more birthday wishes. I can assure you that my slew of loving Facebook friends took care of that. The real meat here is how Facebook is starting to change the dynamic of birthday wishes. It even feels odd typing that, [...]
These past few years I have, sadly, been very out of touch with video games because adult responsibilities have occupied my time; but that hasn’t stopped me from occasionally reading about them. Recently, I viewed an article on MSNBC about games that integrate sex into their game play. Mass Effect, BioWare’s latest role-playing game, is [...]

There is the ongoing debate whether print media is being phased out or if it is just as strong as it was 10 years ago. Even the top dogs in our industry and leading analysts seem to be split right down the middle, which makes me wonder what is really determining their opinions. In my [...]
Everyone has heard of Netflix in some way or another by now. The ads are everywhere and the service has rapidly become a household staple for many. I finally took the plunge myself and purchased a membership. Like me, most people used to drive to Blockbuster only to find that the movie they wanted to [...]
xiik Interactive Marketing goes international! Yep, just recently I had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to represent the xiik geeks at my 4th SIGGRAPH conference ever and my second in Asia (last year I visited Singapore for the first ever SIGGRAPH Asia). This year the conference was held in Yokohama, Japan — an absolutely wonderful [...]
