Being 19 with a Career Sucks
Posted on
So I'm 19 years old in case you didn't know. When I was 18, I moved across the country from Louisville, KY to Oklahoma City, OK for a sweet job. That was pretty crazy. I love my job at LifeChurch.tv on the Digerati Team. While I've been here I worked on some pretty amazing projects like the LifeChurch.tv website, One Prayer, and the YouVersion Bible App for the iPhone.
So along the way some pretty crappy stuff happened to me that I won't go into. If you remember, my tweets were real depressing for a bit around July. Anyway, life is good. I know there is some way better stuff for me in Oklahoma than what I have worked on so far.
The only thing is that I'm 19. Everyone I work with is way older than me and most of them are married with kids. Who does a 19 year old with a career hang out? I don't know any college kids because I don't go to college. Pretty frustrating right now.

So I bought a new domain. It was super expensive, but it saves typing 3 more characters. I need to start switching all of my email and such now. Any old links, will still work and redirect.
I also put up a new song called Something I Wish I Had on the podcast feed. Check it out if you get a minute.
Twitter from Quicksilver

So I am a huge Quicksilver fan! I use it constantly. You can do so much with it. Since I love keyboard shortcuts so much, so it's probably one of my favorite apps. It is the first thing I download and install when I get a new Mac.
Anyway, there is this thing called Twitter that is pretty cool. I use it a lot. I was thinking about something and remembered seeing a little action someone had written to twitter from Quicksilver. I thought I'd download it and try it out.
I must say, it's pretty cool. I still enjoy using my favorite client, TweetDeck more, but for posting something quick, it's kinda cool to use Quicksilver. I found this script that enables Tweet as an action in Quicksilver. I thought It would be neat to add Growl support to it (as it takes several seconds for it to actually work).
Music Podcast and Years
Posted on
So @aadom on Twitter said it would be a good idea to podcast all of my music for The Experiment. I thought that sounded like a good plan, so I did. You can check out the podcast feed or the music area to subscribe.
I also put up a new song I've been working on for years up tonight called Years. This is the song that I play when I pick up a random guitar in a guitar store or I'm just bored sitting around my apartment picking away mindlessly. I think it's turning out nicely so far. I'm digging the piano a lot. Give it a listen.
Update: I no longer maintain this podcast. You still see all of the music on SoundCloud though.
Five instead of Four

So someone just called me at 1:30am and woke me up. They were trying to order pizza from Pizza Shuttle in Norman, OK about 40 minutes from my apartment.
I get this all of the time. Whenever I get a call from a 405 number that I don't know I just assume they are trying to order pizza. I usually tell people you meant to dial 354-4440 instead of 365-4440 (my number). It's pretty annoying to say the least.
I've tried to mess with people and take orders before, but it never really works out. One time I tried it the girl said the driver locked her out of her house and she needed the phone number of his girlfriend or something like that. I just hung up.
