If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

It’s been one of our core values at iThemes. We all do greater work together than any of us could do alone.

So because of this motto, he wanted me to make a poster for our office that said “Go far together.” When we had some new offices put it at iThemes (by new offices, we mean new walls that make offices out of the old warehouse space we’re in), we created a new long empty wall. We decided it could be much cooler to paint this idea 7 feet tall on the wall, instead of just printing a poster. So Kristen, Elise and I got to work painting last week, and we think it looks pretty awesome.

Kristen and her husband helped put together this time lapse of us painting it.

Here’s a clearer version of the design. I was particularly excited about the modified arrow forms along the bottom of “far.”

Although after seeing this article, maybe I should have asked Cory for stock, instead of salary: http://dcurt.is/artist-will-make-200-million-in-facebook-ipo

This past Saturday night, December 17, 2011, I asked the love of my life to marry me. Go to brad.sherree.us for the temporary site I made for the story. I’ll update with a full story soon.

Here’s another video from Nathan Poppe about local music made in Norman. I’ve been watching this video take shape every couple days when Nathan would show me what he changed, and I’m so excited that it’s finally out in the wild. Check out the video, and get the whole Fowler VW/Blackwatch Christmas album for free here.

One of the most beautiful and encouraging videos I’ve ever seen. I come back to it often. Narrated by Carl Sagan.

Watch it full screen. In HD. In the dark.

RIP Steve Jobs. 1955–2011

Sherree Chamberlain is about to start on her second album!

So if you’re not yet familiar with Sherree’s music, go to ye old iTunes and check out her first album. But even more importantly, go to Kickstarter and help her make (and get your own copy of) her next album. I personally bloguarantee that you will love it.

Go support Sherree’s album now. →

Disclaimer: My roommate made this video. That’s my fireplace.
Also, I am madly in love with this woman.

This song can make any stressed out week calm down. The Golden Age by Beck has been calming me down since sophomore year of college working at the newspaper.

Finally got around to putting up some a couple prints and letters in my home office. Desk and chair from IKEA. Chalkboard is from a garage sale and is 90 years old. Letters are from an antique dealer in OKC. I also have an L, but you can’t see it in this picture. Sorry the photo is so crappy. Still getting used to the 360 panorama app.

My roommate, Nathan Poppe, is an incredibly talented videographer. Check out his latest creation — a video recap of last weekend’s Dustbowl Arts Market in Norman, OK. One of the best I’ve seen from Nathan yet.

Check out his tumblr and twitter. Also, this music project he’s involved with called the VDub Sessions is one of the coolest things in Oklahoma.
