We walked down Hollywood Boulevard past the Chinese Theatre and Jimmy Kimmel, and I spent most of the night doing what I do best: filming the back of people’s heads.

Summary

Rachel and I sat down at the Junkyard to talk about something that’s been on my mind—joining the All the Freakin’ Things livestream on Friday night.

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I’m going to be honest with you—I’m not great at vlogging. I know it. You probably know it.

Summary

This week has been pretty intense, honestly. The Sandy Fire started on May 18th in my hometown of Simi Valley, and it’s been a roller coaster watching it unfold.

She Beats Me to the Comments Every Single Time. She Changed How I See Everything.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I used to be one of those people who would scroll past YouTube comments without a second thought. Not because I didn’t appreciate them, but because I just didn’t fully see their value. That all changed one weekend when Rachel and I found ourselves in a crowd of strangers, all there for the same reason. Standing among those faces, I realized that the comments I’d been ignoring were so much more than just words on a screen. When I got home and opened up the comment section on my latest video, the names didn’t look the same anymore. Shashona had beaten me to the first comment, as she always does, and I found myself amused by her consistency. But as I dug deeper, I started to see the comments in a whole new light. These weren’t just random thoughts - they were connections, relationships, a community that I had been missing out on. I’ve always valued my online audience, but now I truly understand the power of engaging with them and letting them into my world. This experience has changed how I approach not just my channel, but my entire perspective on content creation and the people who make it all possible.

I Covered Local Politics for Years. What I Found in the Comments I've Never Told Anyone

Summary

I’ve lived in Simi Valley my whole life, and for a while, I knew everything about it - the things that made it worth staying, the things that made it worth defending. But then something happened that changed all of that, and I’ve never talked about it publicly. Until now. For years, I was deeply involved in local politics, covering the city council meetings and the debates over issues like development and taxes. I thought I had a good handle on the pulse of the community. But when I started reading the comments on my articles, that’s when things took a turn. I saw a side of Simi Valley that I had never known - a darker, more divisive side that I couldn’t reconcile with the place I thought I knew. It was a wake-up call. I realized that the Simi Valley I had grown up with, the one I had poured my heart and soul into, was not the same as the one that existed in the minds of so many of my neighbors. And that realization led me to step away from local politics altogether. This is the story of what I found in those comment sections, and why I’ve never shared it with anyone until now.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, I was a young web developer who loved tuning into The Screen Savers on TechTV every day. My friend and I had built one of the first Atari emulator websites on the internet, called Atariland, so you can imagine my excitement when I noticed the show’s producer, Megan Morrone, wearing an Atari logo shirt on the air one day.

Perusing the Simi Valley Town Center Mall and Dreaming About Our Own Business

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, my wife Rachel and I took a stroll through the Simi Valley Town Center Mall, a place that holds a lot of memories for us. When this mall first opened back in 2005, it was a bustling hub of activity - we were even there for the grand opening celebration! But over the years, we’ve watched the mall struggle to maintain its popularity and foot traffic. Many of the once-thriving stores have closed up shop, leaving vacant storefronts in their wake. As we wandered through the empty common areas and passed by the abandoned anchor stores, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia and disappointment. This mall used to be the center of our community, a place where families would come to shop, dine, and be entertained. Now, it’s a shadow of its former self. But I’m hopeful that with the news of a new owner taking over, there might be a chance to breathe new life into this place. My wife and I have been tossing around ideas for opening our own business here, something that could appeal to the younger generation and bring more energy to the mall. We think there’s an opportunity to create a space that caters to the interests and needs of today’s teenagers, who are often overlooked when it comes to entertainment options in our town. It’s an exciting prospect, and we’re eager to explore the possibilities further.

Summary

I’ve always been fascinated by the Salesforce community, but it wasn’t until I attended Dreamforce that I truly fell in love with the ‘Ohana’ concept.

Why This Developer Stays at Salesforce (Even If Ohana Isn't Real) #shorts

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

As a developer at Salesforce, I’ve often heard the buzzword ‘Ohana’ thrown around, but to be honest, I wasn’t always sure if it was just corporate jargon or something more meaningful. That is, until I really immersed myself in the Salesforce community and saw the power of what true connection and collaboration can bring. Beyond the surface-level perks and benefits, the real value of working at Salesforce lies in the passionate people who make up this ‘Ohana.’ It’s about the developers, admins, and enthusiasts who come together to share knowledge, solve problems, and uplift one another. This is where the true magic happens - not in the shiny offices or the free snacks, but in the genuine relationships and sense of belonging that are cultivated. Sure, the Ohana may not be a perfect representation of a real, biological family. But for me, it’s so much more than just a catchy term. It’s about the people who believe in the same mission, who challenge and support each other, and who truly make this community feel like a home away from home.

As a Salesforce developer, I’ve discovered that my passion for this career goes far beyond the technology itself. While I do genuinely enjoy the work and the technical challenges it presents, what truly motivates me are the incredible people I get to work with in the Salesforce community. The concept of the ‘Salesforce Ohana’ - a sense of family and community - is often debated, but for me, it’s the real deal.

Everything, Everywhere All At Once Filming Locations and the Simi Valley Town Center Mall

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I headed to the Simi Valley Town Center to show you around, with a call to action for fellow vloggers: if you started vlogging because of someone like Adam, get invested in your city and show people where you live. This mall is a real point of frustration for me. It’s a beautiful property and a frequent filming location, and much of Everything Everywhere All at Once, one of my favorite movies, was shot in Simi Valley and in and around the mall. The Japanese restaurant scene was filmed where Cork and Batter is now, and a nearby building, now an Amazon building, was the IRS building, made to look much taller with a matte painting. It also appeared in Sneakers, and I believe the parking lot showed up in Men in Black.

The Unexpected Joy of Star Wars Fan Content #shorts

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

It takes a lot of guts to start a YouTube channel covering Star Wars today, when the common narrative is that Disney Star Wars is bad and any opinion that goes against it can draw negative comments. That’s why I’m happy to subscribe to a creator who represents my tribe and my subculture. My takeaway is that there’s no single unified outlook on Star Wars: it’s art, and appreciation of art is subjective. So find your tribe, and tell me in the comments if you have.

Star Wars has been around for close to 50 years, which means multiple generations with different entry points and different things they care about. Plenty of original trilogy fans don’t care for the prequels, while anyone who grew up on them thinks that’s crazy. YouTube reflects this perfectly, because creators gravitate toward what they like and what their audience responds to, so I take a quick tour of a few channels I follow.

There's No Such Thing as ONE Star Wars Fandom - Introducing the Gen X Star Wars Fandom

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

There’s a common narrative that the Star Wars fandom is toxic or divided, but I think it’s more accurate to say it’s diversified. Star Wars has been around for close to 50 years, so there are multiple generations with different perspectives, and YouTube shows this perfectly. I take a tour of a few channels I follow. Star Wars Explained, run by Alex and Molly, is my favorite: the “all of it” crowd who cover canon, legends, comics, shows and films with mostly positive energy and measured critique. Star Wars Theory is the biggest channel in the space and gives voice to fans who feel something was lost in the Disney era. Star Wars Meg is the news desk, covering what’s happening right now.

A Stranger Gave Me Tickets to Adam the Woo's Celebration of Life

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

About ten days ago there was no way I was getting into the Adam the Woo celebration of life. The tickets were sold out and I was shut out. Today I have two tickets in my hand and I’m going. I didn’t know Adam when he was alive. I only saw a handful of his movie location videos by accident and never subscribed. I discovered him after he passed, a couple of days before Christmas, when another vlogger had an emotional outpouring about the news. I’ve been binging his content ever since, and it’s what keeps me dedicated to recording and publishing on this channel after years of false starts.

KROQ 106.7 on 9/11 with Ralph and Doc #kroq #kevinandbean #losangelesradio

Summary

When the 9/11 attacks happened, the whole world came to a grinding halt. Traffic was nowhere and the freeways were empty. I decided to drive into work around 8 or 9 in the morning, turned on KROQ, and had no idea what I was going to hear, knowing Kevin and Bean weren’t there. Doc on the Rock had come in to do the news, and Ralph Garman was there for his showbiz beat. The two of them grabbed the microphones and just began talking.

Summary

With all the ugly things going on right now, it can really shake your faith in humanity. I found that stepping away from that and following people who aren’t talking about it, people who are just being creative, having fun and enjoying life, refocused me a little.

Key Points

Some of what’s happening right now can really shake my faith in humanity.
Watching creators on YouTube and TikTok who are being creative and enjoying life restored it.
The people I follow love their audiences and love to entertain and educate.
There’s a lot wrong with the world, but there’s also a lot that’s good.
