Customer Service from Best Buy

Here is the story:

I, like the brilliant guy that I am, dropped my iPhone headphones on the ground and rolled over one of the earbuds with my rolly-chair. This happened a few weeks ago, but I decided last week I wanted to replace them before I went to Atlanta. So the night before my flight, I went to Best Buy and bought myself a set of $40 Apple headphones for the iPhone. I get home and open the box, and out falls a GROSS pair of USED IPOD headphones. I checked the box again, and not only did it not say iPod, it didn’t say used either. According to the box, I should have received a NEW pair of IPHONE headphones. You can imagine my frustration.

Catalyst Atlanta 2009

I am really excited to have to opportunity to go to Catalyst Atlanta this year. I am going with work, and we have some pretty cool projects we will be working on while we are down there. One of my primary jobs while I am in Atlanta will be to keep our newest website up to date. CatalystCouch.com is an all in one resource center for conference goers, and also for those who wish they were at the conference.

Yeah, I am That Guy

A good friend of mine, Ted, let loose an awesome site a couple of weeks ago. We have all been “that guy” at one time or another, and Ted has now given us a place to rag on one another. YeahIAmThatGuy.Com is a genius place to go and complain about “that guy.” Go check it out, and submit to the good cause. You can also hash tag #YIATG on Twitter.

Social Networks

I was looking at my Analytics a little bit ago, and I was noticing how much of my traffic comes from my social networks. In the last few weeks, it has surpassed direct traffic. Pretty cool if you ask me. I resisted Twitter for the longest time, but now that I have embraced it, it has benefited me emmensely. In fact, hopefully some of you that are reading this came here from Twitter. I could go on and on about Twitter, but I will save that for another post.

Dakota Danner

I got a new puppy, and her name is Dakota. She is rediculously cute. Jessi and I are so happy to have her as part of our family. I just took a wide angle lens out in the yard with us the other day and took a few snap shots, so I thought I would share them. She’s pure American Pit Bull Terrier. What a great dog!!!!

iThemes Media

Yesterday I started my new job at iThemes Media. If you stop by my blog very often, you know who they are because I talk about them all the time. This is a really exciting opportunity for me. I by far have the weakest skill set in this office, and I love it. I am surrounded with people who are excellent at what they do, and I am absorbing everything I can.

James, the designer, is fantastic. When he comes in on time (I hope you are reading this James), I really enjoy seeing some of his step by step processes of making logos and site design. Besides being a great designer, he is also great if you ever need to be insulted or cut down. Thanks James!

Chris, the resident code ninja, sits next to me and expands what I know on a minute to minute basis. If it has a a keyboard, he can run it and tell you most things about it. When he gets in to words I have never heard, I just nod my head and hope I can remember it long enough to Google it after our conversation. Great guy too.

Then there is Mr. Cory Miller. Cory knows more stuff about more stuff that I probably ever will. He may not be an expert designer or an amazing coder, but he has great working knowledge of both. Put that on top of being a great people person, and you are spelling success. I want to be a part of anything this guy is doing.

Basically what I am trying to say is that I am really excited about starting work here. Now I guess I should stop writing and get back to work…
