Quick Thoughts on deviantART ...
3 min read
A few really quick thoughts:
1) DA's reimagining, rebranding, updated logo, and overall story is fabulous. I will have more to say later, most likely in a longer journal post.
2) I am going to make a concerted effort to be more active in the community again.
3) Need to rebrand my own image here on DA. The current branding is a bit ... dated.
It almost feels like I'm coming home after being gone for years ...

jark.me - my new home on the internets
4 min read
Long time no see! It has been a super-busy few years. Last year especially so, with the huge 9.1 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. The March 11 event hat trick caused a huge amount of pain throughout Japan, touching and affecting the lives of millions.
As a result of the disaster relief efforts, I was crazy busy last year, especially the months immediately following the huge earthquake and its after-effects. I never really got time to think through a decent web strategy ... until now.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce my deviantART family and friends to jark.me.
What started out as a cool URL shortener for my personal use on twitter has been transformed into my new home on the internets. This is the one site where I will primarily share my thoughts on various topics and upload content - such as pictures - for sharing.
I hope all is well with everyone around here. Sorry I do not participate like I once did, but life has dramatically changed since those good ole days - days I will always remember with fond memories.
Take a look at jark.me when you have an opportunity and please let me know what, if anything, you think of the site. I always love to receive constructive criticism on my projects.
Speaking of which, before I run ...
A few close friends and I are working on a web-related project many deviants might find intriguing. Stay tuned for more information.
Cheers!

Have You Had Your Miso Soup Today?
4 min read
On January 1, 2009, Rich and I launched our tribute to technology evangelism and Miso Soup, hoping to one day be a valuable branch of the blogging tree as well as possibly build our very own Death Star. Imagine how cool a TechMiso Death Star would be, serving up fresh Miso Soup concoctions daily! Seriously though, TechMiso is written by a couple of passionate geeks who enjoy tech conversation, tech criticism, insightful tech commentary and acute analysis of the technology realm. Was the word "technology" used enough in that statement?TechMiso has written about a variety of topics since our launch, such as government, Google, Apple, Entertainment industry and assorted topics. Here are some sample articles:
HOWTO Use Wordpress to Create a Tumblr-like Tumblelog CIO's Say 'No' To iPhone - Call It Non-Business And Say Touchscreen Keyboard Is Impossible The Future of Music Is In The Clouds HTTPS Aloof On Gmail, Facebook And Other Major Websites Desktop Twitter Clients Are Pointless Why is Whitelisting Absent from Telephones?If you have some time to check out our little part of the world please stop by TechMiso for some good, old fashioned conversation and complimentary Miso soup.
TechMiso can be found on the web at techmiso.com/

deviantART Summit Never Before Seen Footage by jark, journal
deviantART Summit Never Before Seen Footage
I am quite disappointed that the administration opted to censor my film based on the fact that it contained "copyrighted music," and offered no further clarification other than to point me to the FAQ entry that lists some URL's to online spots for music that is considered acceptable. What makes no sense about the explanation is that all published music is copyrighted. The following is the entire note that I received from the site administration: "I had to remove your videos from the gallery this morning as they both contain copyrighted music and we can't allow that on the site. I really enjoyed both of them and would welcome you to repos...

deviantART Summit Unseen Footage
:thumb66702941:Check out the never before seen footage from the deviantART Summit, taken by yours truly when I attended the Summit in June 2005, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles CA.Slapping the very limited number of clips that I have together has been something I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Since I was playing around with iMovie '08, which comes with iLife '08, I finally decided to get off my lazy ass and put something together, no matter how unexciting the final product turned out.Admittedly there is not much footage here. I was too busy meeting deviants, talking to deviants and enjoying the festivities, however...
UFO Spotted Above Los Angeles by jark, journal
UFO Spotted Above Los Angeles
It is my understanding that a UFO has been spotted above Los Angeles, CA. Has anyone witnessed any random anal probings from the armada of aliens that are sure to attack ostensibly innocent bystanders? Although information about the UFO is spotty and unreliable, it has been overheard by fairly reliable sources that the current invasion is expected to last weeks.If anyone does manage to catch a glimpse of the surreptitious aliens that are sure to be probing the citizens of Los Angeles throughout the next few weeks then let me know, as I am cataloging all encounters and abductions.Interested in more information on this subject matter then f...
