I don’t know about anyone else here or around Cleveland but I am super psyched about Weapons of Mass Creation Fest ***June 8-10, 2012*** Now I’ve personally gone to this little shin dig that they called a fest last year with a massive amount of people that I guarantee no one thought would show up. That was its second year when in the community it got some cred. Now it’s another year and this one seems to already be 3x (also it third year(pun)) the size of effort, fun, people, creation, and all that amazingness rolled in to a festival. Besides inginuifty fest this seems to be the biggest thing happening as far as festivals around the Cleveland area. Both festivals offer bands and creation and design art fun, but nothing really sits more close to home than the WMCFest as it’s truly really all about the desigers > then the music > and the people. It’s our own little Mini Midwest SXSW. Especially since its in your back yard and tickets are on sale NOW, $50 early bird pricing expires April 30th. All access 3-Day Passes are Available NOW and are only $60. https://wmcfest.com/tickets/ Yes this is technically a design conference with flash, bang and awe for music and people coming together to share ideas and so on, but the lecuters and talks that many famouse and others not so are coming here to preform do. All together there’s 20 speakers, 20 designers showing off their arts and 30+ bands rocking out on two stages (outside and indoors.) Personally their’s a few people I definitely want to see as speakers. Probably not everyones first choices but besides the topics that Chuck Anderson, Julia Kuo, Matt Stevens are heading to WMCFest to discuss, I find myself really enjoying all their styles of work, however different they maybe. The cool thing about some of the designers heading to the show (besides me of course) is a few are personal friends of mine (Andy Hendricks, FIZZ Creative (Jasen Melnick and Katie Major), a couple coworkers, and hopefully a few new friends as well. Oh and don’t forget the bands whom also are being supported by local flavor (Andy Hendricks in Annabel and En Garde (my pal Ross)) and soo many OTHERS. THIS FESTIVAL IS GOING TO ROCK, man I’m pumped thinking about how much more awesome this year will be than last. Check it out yourselves. http://wmcfest.com/ PS. I don’t proof read, It’s for squares > These are fast flowing thoughts!)

My Moments along a “Path”

I’ve been using @Path a lot lately. The new up an coming 2012 app that redesigned their methods from a tough 2011 year and started fresh this past holiday season. 

Truly I know what you’re thinking, another social media network that I have to follow. Don’t judge too quickly. Path is different amongst all those personal and privacy mishaps that all the other networks keep refereeing to, this one actually fulfills its promis to staying private and most of all personal. 

Path’s app motto from their homepage states itself as “The smart journal that helps you share life with the ones you love.” I agree with this statement. The ability to personally share my own goings on, however mundane or goofy they maybe I’m reassured that with Path only my close personal friends are witnesses. As I’ve more often than not made a fool of my self on Twitter here I know no judgement will be passed as these people know me in real life.

Don’t get me wrong I love Twitter, and My letter to Google+ whole heartedly explains that (It’s posted before this.) It’s just that I’m now in a rut that I follow soo many informative tweeters it’s overwhelming. My account has also been locked for some time but I believe it’s quite okay to go ahead and unlock it now as I’m more and more tweeting companies my ideas and comments (My main pull to Twitter.) This will let my have the social aptitude to utilize Twitter as it’s meant to be and still keep a privet social network to myself and my friends.

Sadly I’ve lost all care for Facebook since I haven’t used it in ages. The only reason I’ll restart it is to rejoin my old high school chums for some “Hey how’s life?” I’d love to use more of Google+ but really how many social sites can I honestly focus on during my already hectic life scouring the internets. Websites, Social Networks, Checking In, Pinning, My own blog, My own website with and new projects, taking those projects and making sure their worthy enough of clients eyes, even this I ignore on and on but with Path I’ve found a nice collection of all the things that the top five apps have been doing and keeping me sane enough knowing my closets personal freinds know the deal.

This like many other forms will probably come to and end and something new will appear but I feel that with personal connections it’s a different measure of staying committed to showing and expressing yourself to the people whom know you best.

Good Luck Creating Moments

How I got on the right Path.

Dear Google+,
Don’t be alarmed that I don’t use you. It’s not really you per-say, kinda is but lets not say that. I’m sick of Facebook just as equally as I am of you (You’re still sexy though.) It’s just… Twitter and I sort of have a thing. It’s been rather steady and honestly, yes we both feel it’s going to the next level. You understand. Don’t worry though I’ll come by an say “Hi.” Just so you know I do not say hello to Facebook, we definitely just had a back break and it’s easer to not see each other, still too fresh you know.

Anyways, my lunch hour is up and, Oh there’s Twitter, we’re getting coffee.

Later,
Me

This was a letter I wrote some time ago about my feelings for Google+ and love of twitter.

Mighty Good SHOW!

#OCCUPYInspired by a friend of mine who seems to repeatedly release little typographic exercises at a minimum of once a week pace. Time to throw quater on the cabinet an get in line. ( Nostalgic Arcade Humor.) The second Inspiration easily arrived from the @OccupyWallSt shenanigans happening not only in NYC but right outside my office building. Either way this was something fun, simple and creative to do.

At Work Dreaming

It’s time for a meeting
Alone and no more wine
So far no moments fleeting
It’s obvious one shall shine
