My name is John T. Meyer and I love connecting with people. This blog contains my thoughts and opinions on Ideas and Collaboration. But I really want to hear yours, so feel free to leave a comment.
I was honored to be the featured guest on Silicon Prairie’s PrairieCast episode 19 with hosts Geoff Wood and Andy Brudtkuhl last week.
We had a great time talking about 9 Clouds, launching products, sharing ideas, and more. Feel free to click the link and take a listen. My part of the interview starts at the 23:28 mark. Enjoy!
Also, please check out Yellow Sandbox and let me know what you think and how we can make it better.
Every blogger has their own toolbox that they use. Some bloggers love Tumblr others love Blogger. For me it’s nothing other than Wordpress. That’s why I’m really pumped with the big release of Wordpress 3.0.
Wordpress is always making additions and upgrades, but 3.0 is a big move and there are some great changes. I’ve just scratched the service by playing with the beta version of Wordpress 3.0, but I’m excited to get my hands dirty now in the full version.
To learn more about the new Wordpress check out this video.
This week’s Friday Night Lights goes out to a big group of people. A nation that came together to put on the biggest global event. Props to South Africa, they deserve it.
My brief rant on the lack of technology being used in today’s voting process. If you want to increase voter turnout I suggest technology.
Wednesday night I had the opportunity to become a “printern” and sit in on a Harlequin Studio print session. I must admit I didn’t really work, but instead brought beer to enjoy while watching talented artists create elaborate screen prints. The second installment of Friday Night Lights here on johntmeyer.com goes out to the boys of Harlequin Studio.
Harlequin Studio is built up of three dudes, Andrew Osborn, Andrew Brynjulson, and Don Johnson, with an affinity to screen printing and the work ethic to do whatever it takes to be able to screen print. They struck up a deal to clean up an old warehouse building in exchange for a place to print day and night.
My Friday Night Lights goes to these boys because I love the drive and passion they have for screen printing and growing the local arts community. They’ll open their doors every evening to teach someone new how to screen print. They simply want people to appreciate this awesome art and the intricacies that go into screen printing.
I recommend reaching out to any of these fellas on Twitter if you’re interested in witnessing the Harlequin magic. Feel free to check out my photos from the evening.
Yesterday, I tweeted the following message…
This tweet seemed to garner a lot of chatter. Many people decided to tweet out loud their accomplishments for the month of June. This is exactly what I was hoping for, so I decided I better follow suit. Here is what I’m going to accomplish for the month of June.
I’ve shared some iPad thoughts on the 9 Clouds, Inc. blog when it was first released, but now that I have one in my own hands I’ll say how I really feel.
Leave a comment on how you feel about the iPad, do you own one, or will you ever own one?

I’m starting a new segment called Friday Night Lights. Basically, a weekly opportunity to give mad props to people, businesses, and organizations doing great work. People deserve some limelight!
This week’s FNL goes to the people behind Big Omaha. Take a look.
