I'm John Gilbert

I am a creative that has focused on digital for the last 15 years. I started when Macromedia was new and Visual Basic 4 was hot. I taught myself the ropes, studied Computer Science in college (dropped out) and ended up getting a degree in design. Luckily, the internet came along, and my passion for the web was born. I have been combineing my interests in design and technology since day one of my career and I don't intend to do anything different in the future.

There are some people that have the gift of sales. There are some that can make code sing. There are some that can see it creatively happen before others. I’m constantly amazed by people and the perceptions they have about how they work. It comes down to how they think and how they act and how they feel they should be treated. Anyways… it is sometimes very cool to see the different personalities that exist inside a business and how they affect what we all do together. Having been in one company that was two different companies and is now one its cool to see the affect. Sorry to get deep.

10 Most Hated Jobs – funny (or not) that of the top 10 I do 6 of them on a weekly basis but don’t hate my job

30152657-media_httpmsnbcmediam_fdtap

I was just reading through CNBC.com and found an interesting article on the ten most hated jobs. As I was clicking through each job I found myself saying “Crap. I do 5 or 6 of these on a weekly basis but I don’t even remotely hate my job.” I think this article goes to show how hard/stressful being in the digital advertising industry can become. We have to be a lot of things for a lot of people. It also shows that if we do “it” right we have a lot to offer and lot to be thankful for. I guess each job on their own has its downside but what position doesn’t. We are in an industry that is redefining itself on a weekly basis. Just a simple thought from what was probably meant to be a traffic driving article for an big site.

Here is a link to the article from CNBC.com: http://bit.ly/p70xS6

We have just released the Red Robin Customizer iPhone app.

This project has been a labor of love. It wasn’t that easy to build or design but the crew did an exceptional job on this app. You can swipe ingredients by using touch, customize an entire meal, and see any sort of nutrition info you want. Hope everyone enjoys. Feel free to give it an outstanding review in the iTunes store.
