After many months of being pushed back due to moving, project launches, 30th Birthdays, and much else, I’m really excited to launch the new Dannyprose. She has been an unwieldy beast for years, but I finally feel like I nailed it this time around. At least for now. We have some really cool stuff planned for later this year.
I 100% could not have done this without the help of Alec Hipshear, Eric Kanagy, Eric Meyer, and Cassie Greer. Thanks you guys.
We’re also taking feedback through a Google doc which anyone can edit. So if you run into bugs, or have any love/hate, please add it!
Did you know that the new Dannyprose is in Beta?
We’d love your feedback our on Google doc before we launch it.

To a co-worker wanting to rush something into production:
We must make haste, young Casey. For a kingdom may be your namesake, but at the banquetting hall of The Mighty Internet, tis he who claims the mutton first who rules! True, in days of yore we practiced our merry arts without thought or regard for time. Why should we not? T’was but half a dozen among the realm who did competeth with us. Diddle daddle did we when concocting our practice and no foul came of it. But now, dear Casey, beau to Adelaide, ruler of Pepper, our challengers have swelled in number. An idea tis only yours until another dreams the same, after all. I would be loathe to extract quality from the equation for the sake of speed, but can the two not live as one? Doth not the greatest champion of the joust not ride quick and true? Doth not His Majesty’s archers unleash torrents of arrows from their bows in a matter of minutes, striking down all enemies in their way? Doth not the women I visit at houses of ill repute in Northeast Portland not claim to be satisfied even when’th I have spilled seed in a matter of seconds? No, Casey, quality and speed do not need to exist as two pillars holding aloft two separate roofs, but may instead be two pillars supporting the mighty weight of our ambition! ONWARD!
If someone asked me what kind of work I want to be creating right now, my answer would be: something closer to this.
- Housekeeping Note
NOTES@ is going to acting a little weird, and looking probably weirder, as we transfer it over to the style of the new Dannyprose.
And Tumblr development is a pain in a half - so apologies if things don’t work/look great as we move the style over and work out the bugs.
My todo list for the Dannyprose redesign makes me think I won’t be leaving the house until 2013. (Taken with instagram)

Written by me to a coworker today, after the orange icon in my chat program has indicated he’d be writing a message to be for about 5 days:
“Lo, every generation of those of us mired in the comings-and-goings of human utterance and verbal discourse come upon the tragedy of works left unfinished, treatises left unsung, hampered and swallowed whole by our own mental custodians, or the cruel rush of our own brief tenure. How long, sweet Casey, must we wait before you impart - like Jefferson before you - your encyclopedic knowledge of our byzantine world, and our own disparate nature? We stand as patient angels, but your ochre pencil remains still for days upon days.
“In the least, as the bitterest reward our world has yet produced, you will, deep in the leagues of my own mind, be writing to me forever.”
My friend and former colleague Eric A. Meyer wrote a novel, with pictures, words, and lame introduction videos, and beautiful uses of HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. He’s getting ready to release the whole novel as an online experience.
Here’s a demo of the first three chapters.
If you love to support innovative uses of storytelling and technology (and seeing where the two intersect), and want more user-supported media, please contribute “Into the Green Green Mud” on RocketHub. Eric is close to his goal of $5,000.
The money goes to building out the rest of the novel, and recording the backing music for it.
I cannot wait to see what they do with 5k.
I realized that back in December, when we launched Cassie’s redesigned site, I never posted a link.
So while adding her agent and booking page today (and lamenting over my way overdone versioning method - I mean 1.1.8 Danny? Really?), I thought I should post something.
Head on over to Cassie’s site and see some of my wife’s incredible acting and commercial work.

Hat tip to Thomas Reynolds of Instrument fame. Cassie’s site is built with his awesome Middleman project, which brings all sorts of Rails goodies to building static sites.JD Hooge. A great talk that I unfortunately couldn’t attend.
Our ECD, JD Hooge, presented one week ago at CreativeMornings. This is a video of his entire talk shot by Paul Searle. Thanks Paul and CreativeMornings for getting this up so fast!

The next time you get frustrated trying to perfect something on the first try, take a look at this very early version of Twitter.
5 years ago, Cassie and I bought dannyandcassie.com as our wedding web site. Since then it’s really only displayed Flickr photos that anyone who was at the wedding can add to our group on Flickr.
Cassie and I decided to make the site a little more current. (Sorry other Danny and Cassie’s getting married out there: it’s ours.) Check it out to learn everything you have wanted to about Danny and Cassie. Wedding nostalgia (from back when Movable Type was en vogue) is forever right here.
Dodge is talking Obsessively Human: We love our screens, but they’re not real. We crave real, physical, connected experiences.
I worked with Eric Kanagy at RedPost to come up with Obsessively Human. Dodge has our idea spot on.
“Satire is a weapon, use it.” A great post from my friend Kevin on media, the internet, memes, politics and the intersection of everything in between.
I’ve seen several reactions to the meme suggesting that it trivializes the events at UC Davis. This is partly true, but I think it misses the point of the meme, and of internet memes in general.
Instagram is all about death. The 70s filters our parents used, artifacts of cameras we’ve never held. Nostalgia is the negation of death, it proves we are still living even without an identifiable future. Instagram is a machine for producing instant nostalgia, a ward against death.

These fine people stopped to get beer and let me talk to them about Freak Bike Fall.
I did a video interview to support Intel’s new Innovators Program. Clicked the link this morning and laughed out loud when I saw the advertising positioned above.
I have a lot of respect for CollegeHumor, but much more for Ricky Van Veen.
