@MyDawgSkip – Yes My Dog Skip is Tweeting Now
This weekend I’m back in South Carolina visiting the family and Skip is still back in Boston spending the weekend with friend and co-worker Dan Dunn. Dan is fairly active on Twitter, I’m fairly active on twitter (ok so maybe that is an understatement) and Dan has already been twitpic’in some pictures of their weekend adventure so it just seemed to follow standard logic that Skip needed to be on Twitter, too… right!? So maybe Skip isn’t exactly the most excited Person (er… Dog) to ever get dragged into tweeting, but this should be a lot of fun. Skip already has a profile on Facebook, Pictures on Flickr and YouTube videos featuring his adventures so now we just have a new way to tie all this excitement together. So join in a...
The 1K Party and a Special Hammer Sighting
Wow what a wild last week at HubSpot. Long work days into the night, but that’s more of the norm now than the exception. I’m not complaining, “it simply is what it is”. Between these two events on Thursday and Friday it became obvious a blog post was in order. HubSpot 1K Customer Party That’s right HubSpot crossed the 1,000 customer plateau and that meant time to have a celebration with the customer base. I’m really not sure of the exact turnout but I was on Photographer duty and brought Rock Band for some good time at work including this “EPIC” performance by Ben Smith. Enjoy these photos from the event. MC Hammer makes an appearance on HubSpot TV So some of the guys got on Twitter and asked @MCHammer to stop by...
It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… SuperBrontoMan! #SM-wars
DJ Waldow and the guys (and girls) at Bronto are an awesome group of individuals. I began working with them way back in 2006 (wow was it that long ago?) at Wofford and of recent times a nice little content sparing match has started up between Bronto and HubSpot. One that I have self titled “#SM-wars“. I don’t know if it’s war, but a social media battle back in forth in fun is a really interesting content creation strategy. The one thing I do know is that I, SuperBrontoMan, will keep a viligant eye on the situation. It is my duty to see this content creation episode to it’s end and watch it where it might go. Will I be a part of the creation… well DUH! (actually you could consider this telling a creation of...

Introducing the Memristor
Move over resistors, inductors, and capacitors a fourth circuit component has finally been introduced. The memristor has been theorized since UC Berkeley Leon Chua brainstormed the idea back in 1971, but until recently it’s only been theory. Hewlett-Packard has finally built one and the future of electronics will be unquestionably changed by this discovery. So what is a memristor? A memristor is a circuit that remembers how much current has passed through it. Why is this important, well let me tell you. A memristor can save its electronic state even when there is no current flowing through it, aka it’s turned off. It can also remember a current flow so it’s a little bit more than just a binary one or zero which in electronics is denoted by on or...
