I was researching the 13″ MacBook Pro, and the inexpensive iPad model. I concluded that the iPad would require me to spend heavily for applications to do what I can already do with the MacBook which was the main deterrent. I can also use this new MacBook pro for DJ’ing with Serato.

We managed to end up in the front row of the bleachers in Fenway Park; just near the opponent bullpen. I also managed to obtain the History Channel badge after the game when running around Faneuil Hall.

I learned about maps, location relationship, weather, and trees.   I always had a dream of working at a mapping-software company, like MapQuest.  I have always been a supporter of location applications like Loopt, Whrrl, and Foursquare.

A small group of friends and I just launched www.4squarebadges.com this weekend. This application breaks down the FourSquare application, its badges, and feeds of people using it.  We have list breaking down each of the badges, a list of all swarm badges, and other tricks to winning at the game of Foursquare.

I am documenting the marketing aspects of this site over here on http://www.4squarebadges.com/testing-inbound-marketing-blog/.  You will see that our organic search has been very successful for many Foursquare badge terms.

Now, every single DJ has the same music, that even the nightclub lists sound like top-40 radio stations. Since it is apparent that all DJ’s share their music, I have just about all of the music that I could ever need.

So what is on my iPod?

  • Wild 949 Podcast
  • DJ Tiesto Weekly Podcast
  • Revision 3-DiggNation + TRS
  • Mashup and Electro Mixtapes from Beezo.net

I prefer to listen to mixed content on my iPod, as I don’t have to rely on the shuffle feature to make sure that I have great music playing at all times. I prefer to just turn on a 60 minute mixtape, and let it play than playing through 20 songs in a playlist.

I scored a Skullebrities shirt in the mail today. Skullebrities brand is a t-shirt company that has a very interesting niche. Each of their shirts has a famous dead celebrity on it, with a skull face.  The shirt even came in a cool tombstone box that you can see in my pictures.
