If you want to develop apps, take your time and make something awesome. Make it fast. Make it beautiful. Make something you’re proud of. Don’t make 60 crappy apps: Make one really good one

I totally agree and that’s what I’m trying to do.

We packed over 124,000 meals for children around the world. We’d been planning the event for over a year and it was an amazing experience to finally see it being pulled off.

I created a short wrap up video of the event using my iPhone and iPad. Enjoy!

With that, I’ve decided to start blogging with WordPress again. I wanted a place to post content that I’m ultimately in control of. My own version of a “social network” if you will.

I don’t have a specific agenda, just want to begin putting my thoughts down in one place that’s all my own. The content might come in from twitter, facebook, instagram and others, but I can collect it all here.

I hope you enjoy what I write and continue to read. All 23 of you (according to my Feedburner stats).

 

Thanks.
