Re: Hey, What’s Happening Jakey?
Is that B.S. for bachelor of science or bullshit? ;)
— girl-detective
Yes. (It’s open to interpretation.)
My biggest gripe with Tumblr theme design was the requirement to support all seven content ‘types’. If you’re looking for a photography theme to beat, tumblr.com/theme/3… is the current king in my opinion.

Yeah, that...

Hey, What's Happening Jakey?
Glad you asked! Well, I am working for myself. Yes, me. I am taking one simple online college class to finish up this god damn web design B.S. degree. While taking only one class, that only takes up fifteen minutes of my time on Monday, I find that I spend the rest of the days working harder than I ever have before. I have launched three websites this year and I have been a guest on two...

The New Crazy Irrational
“I am about to unfriend you for promoting your work” is the new crazy irrational.— Jake Bilbrey (@ZicklePop) February 1, 2012
Because if I am passionate about something and your first response is to threaten me? As Calamity Jane would say, “be fucked!”— Jake Bilbrey (@ZicklePop) February 1, 2012
For the last couple of weeks I have been working very hard to work on things that might help me...

Original Old Movie Trailers and My Dropped Jaw
The other night Dad and I were watching Deadwood on the Apple TV and I saw that Psycho was featured on the movies section. To my amazement there was an option to watch the trailer. I feared that it was some new ad that the studios made. It was not! It was the original trailer for the movie Psycho. So I started watching the original trailers to other such classics like The Birds, Citizen Kane, and...

The Trouble with Shirley Maclaine
Julian Fellowes: You know who is a great actor?

Writer 2: O! M! G! You guys I was thinking the same thing.
Julian Fellowes: Well what the hell are you waiting for? Get Shirley Maclaine on the line.

Hey Look What I Did In 2011
Turned 21
January 19th — So I started the year off by performing the amazing feat of becoming 21 years old. I put a lot of effort into this. Lots of sitting around and breathing was involved.
Appeared On the Radio
February 1st — My friend who liked my work on my podcast The Gazebo on the Go invited me to be on his radio program to promote the podcast and make jokes. I think I made people...

This is the last week in my apartment on the top floor. Really tempted to buy a Kinect, twelve river dancers, and a girl in high heels stomping her heels in the ground to keep from falling over.

Path
Path originally came out last year right after Instagram and was, essentially, an awkward way to share photos with a few friends. The design felt stale and the concept seemed very “me too!”. I could never figure out what the application was supposed to be. The company who made Path came out with an application, not long after, called With. With was a application for sharing who you...

It is the holidays and with holidays comes family. One of the questions I get asked every year is, “what is your major?” Another question, when they hear i work with “computers” is how I keep up with technology. It appears to them that this is something that I am actively doing, but really it is more passive at this point. Used to I would watch TechTV, but now I subscribe...

At MaxFunCon 2011…
My lifeless body was in the arms of Davin Pavlas as he buried me in the ground and ripped my heart out. I magically came back to life to shovel shit for a living even though all I wanted to do with my life was, against my father’s wishes, to sell insurance. I also learned which pizza joint makes the best marijuana pizza.
And this was all in Jordan Morris’ beginner improv class! You...
