The title of my blog isn’t editorially “catchy.” But it’s not meant to be cute, it’s meant to be truth! Yes, because while life can get rather complicated at points, there’s always a simple fact that exists; if you know how to do something that 98% of the rest of the world does not know [...]

Portal 2 in Two Minutes

Corey Hartford — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:16:26 +0000

I have little to no attention for video games. First, I’m just not a very competitive individual, so I’m never really motivated to score the theoretical winning touchdown or “kill” the theoretical opposition. Second, I’m not a fan of loud noises, bright flashes of light, or spinning around in circles, so the concept of living [...]

I’d Rather Not Read all About it…

Corey Hartford — Mon, 30 May 2011 03:34:11 +0000

So here’s the deal about me and “The News” … I hate it. I mean, I truly do not enjoy watching, reading or listening to the news in any capacity or form whatsoever. Perhaps if I lived in a world where things literally were sugar-coated in order to make them go down easier, or maybe [...]

8-Bit Music Videos & You

Corey Hartford — Thu, 26 May 2011 21:38:45 +0000

You just gotta love 8-bit music videos. In a society where these forms of visual art have come to include explosions, month-long production setups, A-list stars and more, there’s something refreshing about making something entertaining in a still-pixilated format. Enter “Goldfish,” a band I just heard about through their likely-to-become-viral hit “We Come Together.” The [...]

Weddings – Vegas Style!

Vegas, baby! This past weekend I got to share in the joy of my brother-in-law’s wedding, Vegas style. I’ve never been to a Vegas wedding before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Were the rumors of thirty-second ceremonies and Elvis officiants true? Would ten dollars in chips really be bestowed upon the happy [...]

I’m pretty stoked about some of the big changes going down over at Mahalo.com. In a nutshell, we’re trying to be your one-stop destination on the web to “Learn Anything”.

Second Place = Steak Knives

If you’ve ever seen Glengarry Glen Ross before, you’re probably well-aware that it’s one of Alec Baldwin’s greatest performances. One scene, in particular, stands out to many business/sales/entrepreneur types – the concept that there is no “second” place. First place … a Cadillac Eldorado. Second place … a set of steak knives. Third place … [...]

Mahalo Answers: 4.0 Style

Corey Hartford — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 01:48:31 +0000

Epic. That describes the past seven days. Wake up at 6am to prepare for product launch, fast forward to 2:30am product launch, stay until 5am to check for bugs – sleep until 7am, wake up and repeat. Well, don’t repeat the launch part, obviously. Mahalo 4.0 is slick, sexy and full of some pretty tricked [...]

San Dee-ah-go: Pictures

Corey Hartford — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:12:24 +0000

The lovely city of San Diego lies just two hours south of my Santa Monica abode (or 6.5 hours south if you hit the 405 anytime between 4am and 9pm). About a fortnight back I made a jaunt to the ol’ SD in order to crash my brother’s family vacation, bringing the trusty Nikon along [...]
