When it get's beyond 105 degrees in Portland,
I have to up my game a notch. Today, I wore
my extreme halfshirt with a custom slit for maximum air flow.
here's what I just saw in Niketown Hawaii...
Many people have asked me at one time or another,
"Why is your title Technical/Social Evangelist?"
I thought it would only be fair to answer those questions this day.
I decided to change my title to Technical/Social Evangelist
because I'm not as Technical as Derek DeMoro and I'm not as Social as Gia Lyons.
The pictures below pretty much sum up what I do.
1. "Social Evangelizing"

3. Lunar Jump
4. Lunar Barkchip
5. Lunar Code
There are few contests I enter or am allowed to enter but when my orthodontist decided to hold a "Dr. Lathrop T-shirt contest",
I asked for a child size "M". My competition includes a super-fit triathlete, tons of teenage kids who lack
fat, and other clients who decided to get t-shirts of the correct size. One thing I have going for me is the American Apparel
Community who encourages ultra-tight clothes, the half-shirt facebook group, and my girfriend who says I look good for being 40.
An independent study conducted by non-official Insight's contractors revealed
that most half-shirt owners are "green & yellow" by nature.
We are the middle children that lacked the hugs and attention during our formative
years. Half-shirts help relieve some of this lost love.
Currently, an Insight User Profile plugin is being developed and will be
released in the 3rd quarter.
Announcing BBQ Express. Using GaaS on the Cloud to Solve the BBQ Crisis
Posted by Ken Domen May 4, 2009As BBQ season approaches, we will all be faced with a serious problem.
How do you scale grills to meet the demands of hungry half-shirted guests in an ultra-tight economy?
GaaS on the Cloud is a solution that is currently not supported by Amazon or any logical vendor that I know of.
The idea came to me during a friday nap after I consumed way too much Mongolian beef.
Ironically, Jive Express launched a day after my blog went live.
I am pretty sure the two have nothing in common.
We all have a story to share and this might just be the forum to do so.
My story took place when an innocent "my back hurts so I'm just going to make myself more comfortable" situation turned into a deadly nightmare. My pair programmer at that time came back from what I would consider the world's longest break. He returned to see more than he bargained for. I was coding in an unorthodox fashion leaning over to finish off an amazing plugin. We spent the rest of the day discussing how I threw his groove off and how he couldn't code after that traumatic event.
I'm sure you have your stories too. I'd like to hear them.
Last week, I conducted an independent Gartner-like study on leading social software vendors and
retailers and the only other competitor that came close to Jive's visionary half-shirt
was Build-A-Bear's super-mini t-shirt built for teddy bears.
"Jive has a definite competitive advantage over both Telligent and Build-A-Bear when it comes to tight t-shirts." -- anonymous shopper at Buffalo Exchange
Jive understands that building a community not only includes good software but creating t-shirts that are both tight and short. In my next blog, I'll be talking about how Jive can transform their licensing model.
