The Italians have a saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer and even though they have never won a war, nor mass produced a decent car, in this area, they are correct. =D

If you think about it, you are always reading about Iran in the daily news. Most of the time, it is about something that is completely hilarious. For example, the Iranian armed forces announced that they possessed a new, advanced missile system with extreme ranges and technology that had never been used in the history of the world before. However, no pictures or details of information were provided, other than the little press release. A few months later, a picture was leased that showed four missiles being launched in a simultaneous way. After further inspection of the pictures, it was discovered that the missile was actually two years old and that it had actually only been one launch, but someone had coped and pasted the one launch into four. A similar announcement occurred a few days later when Iran released a picture of a new, high technology fighter jet. It turned out to be a plastic toy made by Mattel with Iranian markings drawn on it. The first thing that must be understood with Iran is that they are a country of lies, and deception is in their DNA. Another important piece of information you must factor into your view of Iran is the seriousness of Iran as a potential enemy. About two years ago, along the Iraqi/Iran borders, five or six United States Marines were ambushed by 15 or 20-armed Iranian soldiers. The Iranian officer demanded that the United States Marines surrender, however, the brave Marines opened fire, killing eleven Iranians and chasing the rest across the boarder. There was zero American causality. This just goes to show you that the Iranians are tricky and that they are not really prepared to fight. By examining further records into situations similar to this, you will find that we have captured or killed enormous amounts of Iranian intelligence and military officers without any serious resistance.

It looks like ArisTech Media Corporation has finally finished version two of the design pipeline of its business cards. ArisTech Media Corporation represents many high-profile companies and through the business cards, ArisTech Media Corporation wants to convey a strong sense of professionalism while keeping the design edge that makes ArisTech Media Corporation great. With that said, what are you opinions, thoughts, feedback, comments, suggestions, etc. on these business cards. They are still under preliminary scrutiny through the board, however, I thought I would give you a first look to get your thoughts on the cards. I personally think they are pretty awesome. We are planning on submitting them to a few publishers. =D

Recently, Calvary Chapel decided that it would be prudent to redesign their homepage for www.CalvaryChapel.com. They hired a VERY expensive Newport Beach firm, Caliber Media Group, paying a very steep price for their services. After a few months of work, Caliber Media Group completed the site. However, to my disappoint, I was very unpleased with the site, especially since the work of Caliber Media Group is fairly professional. My expectations were also raised due to the price that was paid for the services. As I soon found out, a huge majority of people, both within Calvary Chapel and those who attend the congregation, extremely dislike the site also, stating that is doesn’t convey the mission and outlook of the organization and paints a very unwelcoming picture. I am interested in hearing your opinions regarding the site design and usability of www.CalvaryChapel.com. Make sure you don’t leave without leaving your comments below.

Something funny, and, in all honesty, quite unusual, just happened to me. One of my neighbors came over to my house, asking if I would be able to help her dig out some of her old plants and create some new holes for her new plants. Of course, I agreed. She then went on explaining her plants. She stated, “I have a blackberry, three of them actually, but they didn’t work, which is why I am thinking about disposing of them.” This is where the ironic part comes in. As she began explaining how her blackberries weren’t working, I was thinking all this time that she was talking about the BlackBerry phone. For about 40 whole seconds, I was awaiting the chance to offer my services in helping her fix her BlackBerries and, wishfully thinking, about how nice it would be of her to let poor little Seany have one. However, somewhere around the 41 second mark, it finally clicked in my mind that she was talking about her plants (obviously) and how her blackberry plants weren’t working out and thus required my assistance in disposing of them. All in all, it just goes to show you how the technology realm has brainwashed my mind to the limits of comprehending basic fruits. I can see it now, “Sean would you like an Apple?”

Well, I have been pretty much immersing myself into ArisTech Media (and my social life, but that is another story for another time). Recently, ArisTech Media has taken on a new client, soon-to-be Congress Woman (hopefully) Rosie Avila. ArisTech Media has been placed in charge of the entire management and direction of Rosie’s internet marketing and development and with the help of Sean C. Wing Productions, I am hoping to develop some pretty cool stuff that should really get Rosie’s internet presence snowballing, especially through the political spectrum. Besides the fact that I really think Rosie would be a great Congress Woman, especially since she is going up against Loretta Sanchez, this project should provide ArisTech Media a good amount of need PR and some more clients. Stay tuned to see what evolves!

Just a good poem that I found that actually does some good cross referencing with the whole idealogoy of Web 2.0. Nevertheless, a good poem called The Man Watching by Rainer Maria Rilke:
I can tell by the way the trees beat, after
so many dull days, on my worried windowpanes
that a storm is coming,
and I hear the far-off fields say things
I can’t bear without a friend,
I can’t love without a sister

Now I get asked alot, mostly from teenagers, on how to become successful. Obviously, their reasons for the questions is a quick buck. However, what about those who really want to become successful, innovative, create new revolutions, democratize, etc. It is on this note that I write this post. Now in my mind, I see three main components regarding creating a success, whether it be a product or service. The three points that I see our problems, ideas/passions, and solutions.

Something that I do before I tackle any project is research. Whether it be a new website, a school report, or just want to know about a particular subject, I always do research, which is why I am always eager to find new ways to improve upon my researching methods. When it comes to research, my first two tools are Google and LexisNexis. However, a new tool has been added to my belt: Powerset. Read the rest of this entry »

Now this is something is pretty cool. As I was reviewing Twitterfone in my last post, I came accross MAXroam which is a phone service that allows you to call people, wherever you are, at local rates. For someone like me who travels alot, especially internationally, this service will come in handy. What MAXroam does is it gives you a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), which is a removable smart card for mobile phones that use the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) mobile network. You are then issued a local number and, in short, whereever you are in the world, you will be calling at those local rates through your phone with the SIM and with calling credit that you purchase through MAXroam. So far what I have seen is pretty cool. Let me know what your thoughts are and if you have more info, let me know. =D
