nickengvall I created my first website back in 1998 while I was in college. The term “blog” or “blogger” didn’t exist back then. Neither did WordPress, Tumblr, Twitter or Pinterest. In fact, the Internet has changed drastically in the way we create content and consume information but what I’ve come to realize, is that, contrary to … Read more
Although I spent today waking up at 5am for work like any other day, in a way, today is probably one of the most significant days of my life. 17 years ago I lost one of the most important people in my life, or rather, not in my life. Growing up my family had its … Read more
It’s been a while since I rambled about absolutely nothing relevant to any of the couple thousand of you that somehow end up here every week, so now is the time. The 49ers just lost the Super Bowl (or Superbowl for you creative SEO types) and I’m about as frustrated as a man can be. … Read more
As cynical as it sounds, I rarely find anything inspiring on the Internet nowadays. There is plenty of great content out there but in my life experiences, the truly moving and inspiring creations require either a big screen and buttery popcorn, a lot of black and orange, or in-person conversation that cannot be felt through … Read more
I’ve now been in New York for a little over a month. I’d like to say that the lack of blog posts is just me slacking and enjoying the city and new people I’ve been meeting but the reality is, I haven’t even met the people I intended to meet long before deciding to move here. … Read more
I’m the big asshole. I didn’t vote. You read that clearly. I did not vote. It wasn’t intentional, between moving from LA back to Sacramento and then across the country to start a new job, I just had more important things to me in my personal life. Between getting things situated for me to be removed … Read more
My life has been nothing short of f*cking amazing lately!!! With that amazing comes a lack of sleep and loads of stress, not to mention a lack of time and lack of blog updates. I pushed myself beyond my limit today and decided that I’d take some time to slow down and ramble a bit … Read more
Once again I have failed to be on the cutting edge of cool. I missed out on the Supreme SB Dunks and the opening of the new Dark Knight Rises. I came across this picture on Mashable last night and had to share it. Although, this morning’s news of the shooting in Colorado has put … Read more
Check your sources. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me say this at least 6 gajillion and two times. It’s relevant in every aspect of life but it’s even more important in today’s world, where a single retweet of less than 140 characters can be taken and turned into a matter of fact … Read more
If you’re into technology at all you may have heard of Marc Andreessen. Mosaic, Netscape, Loudcloud, and Ning are just a few of the technology companies that he’s founded, co-founded or been a part of. My Dad sent me this interview with Charlie Rose, who in my opinion is one of the best interviewers around … Read more
