Really Johnny, all over the place…

Category: Web 2.0, brandon roy, flash, microsite, oden vs durant, substance, twitter | 1 Comment

This post is all over the place, so much I’m redoing this first sentence, bear with me as I have brain diarrhea in the next couple of paragraphs… I’ll work on being more succinct later.

Things are moving at a fast pace at the Portland Trail Blazers. Brandon won Rookie of the Year, we win the lottery, we launch a microsite, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant come into town this week. Hectic.

I’ve heard about Twitter for some time, but the guys at Substance who did the microsite suggested we use Twitter in the microsite as a way to push the info about the draft process and the inside look of what is going on. It’s been awesome. I can’t say enough cool things about Twitter. If you haven’t checked it out… do so today. We’re updating as frequently as possible and encouraging fans to sign-up for mobile alerts. When we update the feed, if you’ve subscribed via mobile, you’ll get a text message with our latest updated. My feed is here and the Portland Trail Blazers is here.

Also, we’re hiring at the Trail Blazers… I’m on the lookout for someone who I can off-load some of the production work that I get to, but don’t have enough time to really really push the design and interactive envelope. I’m looking for someone who understands where the web is tomorrow, not today. I really need someone with solid Flash skills and CSS background. I know, a tall order… BUT I’m hopeful. I am looking for an Interactive Specialist.

One person’s blog I found off of Twitter was iJustine at Tasty Blog Snacks. I have to say I’m impressed with the content…

It’s been a long long time… my bad.

Category: jack, portland trail blazers, rookie of the year | Leave a Comment

Sorry about the complete slacking in blog posts. Wow. I’m one of those guys who didn’t keep their blog up to date. Here are the excuses… please indulge me.

  1. Had a baby (I’ve been concentrated on his blog | Jack Lives Here)
  2. Brandon Roy won Rookie of the Year. Yes, Brandon did all the work on the court, and off for that matter, but we had to get the word out.
  3. Transferred blog over to Word Press. Glad I did, but like anything, it is a process…
  4. I went to Hawaii with the family (in-laws included)… more on that trip in a latter post.
  5. We win the NBA Draft Lottery. (Holy Crap we weren’t expecting this!) Talk about excitement. This made the off-season that much more crazy.
  6. Oden or Durant
    Launched new micro-site for Oden or Durant debate. Courtesy of a lot of “kick-assery” from the guys at Substance, we were able to concept, design, develop and launch this puppy in 3 weeks. No joke.
  7. iPhone is being launched soon. This has sucked a lot of time away from my casual internet browsing. June 29th!
  8. I discovered Nip Tuck on DVD. A good time-suck.
  9. Tried to watch everything else on TV… bad time suck.

I am now making more of a commitment to blog. Seriously. In fact will work on one later today.
