In case you were wondering, there’s a few things going on that I’d like to chat with you about. Below are the notes from each of the items. I hope you’re interested

Where’d the videos go?

If you hadn’t noticed, the videos for Thursday and Friday are not here. They weren’t posted & they weren’t recorded. In short, my camera didn’t fail, but I did. I had some issues with my computer loading up videos and just decided to skip out on the videos – with plans to shoot weekend videos to make up for it. As you can see now, there are no weekend videos either. Sorry for that. This week we’ll pick up right where we left off though… which brings me to my next piece of news

I’m going to be video blogging about MMA

The great guys over at MMA Mafia and I are talking right now about doing an MMA Mafia TV for their site. A weekly round up video of what’s been happening in MMA. I think it’s an awesome idea and as one of the owners and I were talking about, I think that video blogging will be the future of MMA blogging – we’re just getting a jump start on it.

The video’s won’t be posted here, but I will make sure there’s a section in the sidebar of this site that you can click to check them out. I’d love to have readers from here check out the videos there as well. We’re still in the process of setting everything up, but I’m hoping to have the first episode done and live within the next week or so. It’s going to be fun

The third tie-in

So, in semi-related news, I’m working right now on a manifesto. A manifesto for a group (or Tribe) that I am looking to start networking with. The group is already out there – my goal is to just bring them together. If you’ve been following me on twitter, you should have seen this quote (it’s also in my twitter background design now too):

We are not the leaders of the future, we are the leaders of today

It’s part of the manifesto I am writing and it kind of embodies what I’m looking to do here. There’s not too many details yet, but I hope to collect the members of this already hidden tribe and help shine some light on it. Keep your eyes open to the site and subscribe to make sure you don’t miss future updates. I’ll be doing a video blog about it this week as well.

The textures you might have missed

I’ve been putting textures up on my flickr account now for a while and figured I’d showcase some of them here so you can see them and check them out. Below are screenshots of various textures I’ve got live. If there are any you’d like to see a full 20-30 texture set of, just let me know. *a quick note, these pictures are all from sets of 5-10 textures – so make sure you check out the entire flickr stream to see the rest.

So yeah, that’s the news for now. I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend.

This website will also serve as a blog where I can showcase my thoughts & ideas on business, marketing and freelancing. It will also be a place where I can showcase great website designs from around the world as well as give away freebies (textures, photoshop brushes, website templates, ect). Another great feature I will be working on with this site is GreenStar TV. GreenStar TV will be a twice-weekly video blog where I discuss marketing, business & freelancing. I am also working on a monthly podcast where I interview other freelancers and get other people to join in. It’s a movement, and I want you to be a part of it.

We’re currently working on kicking all the dust off the site and getting everything set up and functioning properly, so please bare with us as we get everything launched. Thank you for checking out the site and I hope to see you around here in the future as well
