I mentioned before that CurrentMarketing is an app making machine but just wanted to take a small blog post to update our progress. Since that post just two months ago, that 1 iPad app has inspired the same client to produce 3 or 4 more (I've lost count!). They aren't in the app store because [...]
Oh no! Not the death bell for Flash ... again. Adobe announced that it is going to stop pursuing and enhancing the Flash Player for mobile browsers. They'll concentrate on HTML5 authoring tools for mobile browsers (Webkit, Opera, etc). This has of course fired up the anti-Flash bandwagon ranting all over the web. Of course, [...]
We're an app making machine! In the past 8 weeks the Geek Suite, and of course CurrentMarketing as a whole, has produced 2 mobile sites, 2 iPhone / Android apps, and 1 iPad app for a single client. Start to finish, concept to execution, in 8 weeks. How's that for productivity? They've been a joy [...]
Is it ok to go HTML 5 crazy? The internet darling band OK Go did with their recent interactive music video. We've seen these before, but this is just one more step to bringing HTML 5 into the mainstream. I could go on about HTML 5, what it means to the Geek Suite here at [...]
I just signed up for Google+ and I'm not particularly impressed yet. I already barely use my Facebook. I mostly use Twitter, but probably not in the same way most of my co-workers do.

Depending on what you're talking about, that's either a huge number or a small one. It is a huge number of marbles to scatter in front of a parade, causing all sorts of hijinks.* It is a small number of pennies to try and buy stuff with, especially in this economy. But for number of [...]
The walled garden is coming around the corner, and I think many of us saw it a long ways off. One of the things that propelled Twitter into popularity was it's robust API and the ability for 3rd party developers to use their code to build great interfaces. I don't know a single person who [...]
2011 will be the Year of the Cloud for CurrentMarketing. Now that I'm staffed the way I want (for now!), I can get back to concentrating on my laundry list of top level projects. First and foremost I want to move out of our traditional server setup and into the mysterious cloud everyone is talking [...]
It's almost Super Bowl time, which means it is almost our third annual Hyperbole Super Bowl commercial round up. But I'm more interested in the planning, testing and excitement behind the commercials. Not the cameras or directing, but the full campaigns. More and more recently advertisers have had to go well beyond the flatness of [...]
This week I have a new puppy at work with me. She is a present for my wife's birthday and is an American Mastiff. I present to you, Beefaroni Bouvier, aka Beefy: Pros: 1) CurrentMarketing is cool enough to let me bring Beefy in for potty training this first week of having her. That is [...]
