Ever wanted to listen to music in real-time with a friend across the internet? Here's a quick demo of something I'm working to let any number of people tune into what you're listening to on Spotify.

I was lucky enough to be offered a free trip to Boulder's Startup Week to visit. I had never been there before, but I had a great time. Here's some clips.
The weather kind of sucked much of the time, though. Check out this hail: vimeo.com/24029150

Due to some technical difficulties my demo at Omaha's Cornstalks event wasn't recorded. I was asked to replicate it via video.
This one skips the slides and gives just a brief overview of how a connection takes place using the mobile app and how contact management is done within the Hollrback web app.

It's a little nerdy, but here's an example of using Hollrback's platform in a different way.
When you meet people tag them with something descriptive, and you can use that tag via the API to do other things with those people. In this example everyone tagged as "mailing list" gets added to a MailChimp mailing list that was created to keep in touch with those who had interest when you met them.
While everyone won't be making custom utilities to do things like this, it shows the power of using your Hollrback data in new ways.

From day one of project "Mysterious Dottie" we always knew we'd want a video explaining the product. We were going to do something slightly different than how people interacted with contact exchange in the past and felt we'd need an easy to consume explainer to help us along.
I contacted John Henry Muller of What Cheer in Omaha for an animator suggestion, and he pointed me to Tom Miller of Creative Ocean.
The process went extremely smoothly and we're really happy with how it came out.

The video "Got Skillz?" tells the story of the party inside the computer. The song says "Get off the floor, and get on the net. The dance you see there is unbelievable I bet." and the video shows it to be true.
It also mocks the world of rap music by itself being a rap song, but showing how the character of Real-ity doesn't belong in the ghetto with the homies and would probably just find the nearest computer and get online.
For a "behind the scenes" video from when I was working on this originally check out youtube.com/watch?v=jkzxeM9W81M (February 2007)

-History of the video-
In 2006 I was diligently working on my (still unreleased) new album "The Longest Post". With that I decided to create a couple music videos both as an experiment on if I could make something fun, and to have a visual way to distribute some songs.
A couple apartment moves later and the hard drives with the music videos were lost.
Until now. In October, 2010 I found the hard drives while cleaning out my music studio and decided it was time to show them to the world.
They weren't completely finished, however. But a couple nights of some polish and fixes made it so the first, "Got Skillz?" could be released. And here it is.
Some things of note:
You can tell it's from 2007. Old school web pages and apps. You see an old version of YouTube complete with a greasemonkey script changing the background color of it running within an old version of Firefox. I was running a lot more extensions then than I remember.
Also given the lack of resources as far as what video I had to work with I experimented with using the game/app/world of "Second Life" for some of the character stuff to emulate the "party in the computer" vibe.
