2012 Resolutions

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:50:00 -0500

2012 is going to be my first full year as a full-time business owner. So with that comes huge responsibility and a need to refresh my lifestyle. What’s a better way to do that then a list of cliche resolutions?

Without further ado, here is what I hope to accomplish in 2012 (in no particular order):

Run at least one mile and do 200 pushups daily.
Eat Organic foods for all meals.
Eat out only one night a week.
Drink at most two - three drinks per nightly outing, which will be limited to weekends only.
Focus on my blog more, with more organized content and post daily.
Write for other industry new sources and blogs.
Build my first commercial Tumblr and Wordpress Theme by July.
Volunteer at least 120 hours (10 hours a month) at a multitude of charities.
Pay off all outstanding debt by the end of the year.
Move Zer0day into its first office space (wherever in the world that wants to be).
Read at least one novel monthly.

iA Writer - Write with Focus

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:20:33 -0500

iA Writer - Write with Focus:

I just recently got back into blogging. Before, I would lean on the WYSIWYG’s or TinyMCE’s that blogging platforms like Wordpress and Tumblr provide. Occasionally, if I wanted to be overwhelmed, I would write in Microsoft Word for its editing features.

Then I had an epiphany. Writing is distracting. As you write, you are thinking; as you are thinking, you have things happening around you that can ultimately make you lose your train of focus.

This is where iA Writer comes in. Created/developed by the guys over at Information Architects, iA Writer’s premise is simple: bolster distraction free writing by removing the fluff of conventional writing tools. iA Writer out of the box is a plain text editor with very few visual bells and whistles. It helps you to focus on your one priority: writing.

iA Writer does this exceptionally well. It’s touted feature is Focus Mode, which fades out all lines of the body besides the line you are currently writing. It also features the quick and easy Markdown, a plain text formatting syntax, which makes for quick inline editing that is exportable to HTML.

They are set to release an iOS version of the app - I could see this being very beneficial if they build in Dropbox support (it already supports iCloud, so that could be used as well on iOS5 devices).

For writers looking for a tool that will help boost their productivity, iA Writer provides an exceptional alternative option to everyday word programs.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol:

I was able to see this movie last night, and I must say - it was pretty awesome. Tom Cruise looks old, but like other badass actors (Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Daniel Craig, Liam Neeson) he is getting better with age.

Some might say this movie is a paid advertisement for the city of Dubai and the new eco-friendly BMW i-Series, but outside of the obviously apparent ad placements, the movie kept you on your seat, was full of action, and set itself up for MI:5 (maybe).

Highly recommended.

Facebook to Show Ads in News Feed

Facebook to Show Ads in News Feed:

From Mashable:

…it seems as though the company, which is planning a $100 billion IPO next year, is satisfied with Sponsored Stories as an advertising solution and thus a primary method to monetize the 800 million-strong social network.

This is a move that is going to have the backlash from users we expect from Facebook changes. Ads already cover a large portion of the current Facebook News Feed view on the right sidebar, now disguising them as News Feed updates is an atrocity. Get prepared to be weirded out by their relevance!
