For those loyal readers who have been with Mobo Media and our blog since it’s inception, you might remember a post I wrote entitled “#3 Shot Burst #1: Top Reasons to Use Viddler” (check it out if you haven’t read it).  In the article, I discussed the premise of what was supposed to become a series of posts in a written in a “top 3″ format.  I was also fortunate enough to interview Viddler co-founder and President, Robert Sandie and he provided the basis for the first “3 Shot Burst” (rhyming was intentional).

Well after a brief hiatus, I’ve finally put together “3 Shot Burst #2: Top Rules for Life and Business” as given to me by my good friend, Fraternity brother (Pi Kappa Alpha), fellow Combat Veteran, one time Congressional candidate and Senior Marketing Specialist at FedEx: Jason Hernandez.  You should be applying these rules to both your personal and professional life.  If you’re not, you definitely need to click the jump to read Jason Hernandez’s “Top Rules for Life and Business”.

Just a quick walk through of the LG exhibit at CTIA 2009 in lovely Las Vegas. I’m going to have to give the LG display the infamous Mobo Media nod for having the most aesthetically pleasing booth at CTIA. It also gets the award for biggest booth by a major handset manufacturer (not sure of actual sq. ft.; just eye-balling).  I know Santa Ana, CA’s Powerwave had a much larger exhibit complete with one of only seven (I think I heard that correctly) full-motion, virtual reality Formula 1 simulators in the world but they’re in a different category altogether (Note: their booth was just as big last year and while the vast majority of CTIA exhibitors downsized, Powerwave maintained sq. ft. and location).

I took some pics of noteworthy features and posted them via Twitpic. I’ll get those up on the site soon. I think my ADD kicked in as I walked by the wall of new Xenon’s and I neglected to post a pic of those sexy handsets that occupied a large piece of LG property. Click here to read Nicole Lee’s review of the Xenon on CNET.

I’ll be posting a couple more vids of Michael Bay doing a promo for Transformers (LG was involved with Transformers 2) and the new LG “Transformers” Handset (looks weak).

Full Disclosure: I am half Korean but I assure you that my ethnicity in no way biased my write-up of LG or it’s display. Did I mention Samsung’s exhibit? I kid, I kid. I own two Fords and a Yamaha and have a Blackberry. There!

Note: please forgive the out-of-frame shots. I was using my new Flip MinoHD for the first time and am still getting used to framing my self.

Here we are with Chris Brogan after the So Cal Action Sports Network’s event at the Oakley Headquarters Thursday evening.

Hit the jump to see the interview with Chris Brogan and Bryan Elliott. Hint: You may need a translator for that one!

Hey folks, I’d like to introduce the first segment in a series that I’m calling “3 Shot Bursts.”  The name pays homage to my time in the Army and comes from a setting on the M4 and M16 rifles that only allows the weapon to fire three rounds at a time once the trigger is “depressed” (the lay person would say “pulled”).  Technically the name of the series should be “3 Round Burst” but that would just get confusing if you didn’t know what the name alluded too  . . . and now I’m off topic.  Okay, so anyway (ehem!) I’m a list guy and like to ask people their “Top 3’s” for food, movies, bands, you name it so the named seemd apropos.

Part two of our interview with Joaquim Dos Santos, 2009 ANNIE Director of the year.

In this part we talk to the award winning director about what inspires him, what other shows he’s worked on & the hardest part about his industry.

Part one of our interview with Joaquim Dos Santos, 2009 ANNIE Director of the year.

In this first part we talk to the award winning director about his start in the industry and where his drive to become an animator comes from. We also cover the shows he has worked for.

This interview was definitely a biggie for me as it gave a glimpse into the life of a Director of animation which was cool for 2 reasons:
a) I never knew what a Director really did for an animated T.V. series & b) That field has always amazed me at the amount of time, precision, and practice it takes not to mention repetition.

It was also great being able to interview Joaquim and to find out the steps that so fatefully gave him his break in the industry.

It was great to see a success story of a incredibly talented man with an even great amount of drive and dedication succeed and be RECOGNIZED by the industry for that success especially in such a competitive industry.

It will definitely be great to watch Joaquim as his career only gets stronger and to see what other great shows he directs and eventually produces.
