I don't think I'll ever feel that kind of synchronicity or satisfaction from a collaboration again, given that I don't think we'll ever have the time or energy to devote to such a project from here on in. Give or take the shitty recording quality, still fun to listen and think back on, though.
I'm a fan. Legitimately. Can't wait to hear more of your work.
With the risk of being incredibly predictable, I would put Hubski at the top of my list. Like my music, it is a collaboration, but unlike my music I get to see people enjoying it and interpreting it in their own unique ways every single day. Also, I feel like I could have accomplished so much more over the years if I had found musicians that were as driven or committed to The New Green as I was. I have had other professional accomplishments and creations that could have had a big impact or been special but others in the organization didn't give them the support they needed. With Hubski, I can honestly say that mk is the hardest working person I've ever been on a project with and he is the only person whose dedication to an idea or vision trumps mine. There really is no one else that I would rather be collaborating with. -Dudes the bomb. I'm really proud of the albums I've made and I'll never stop making them but Hubski is a singular achievement for me, unlike anything else I've been a part of. I truly love it and I'm excited to see where it leads. It's been an unpredictable journey. I'm very proud of where we are and where we are headed. -To that end, thank you for being a part of it. This is, of course, assuming that saying "your kids" should be granted an obvious default choice. Because without a doubt, nothing tops that.
Guess that answer is self-evident. This is a really amazing undertaking- you guys clearly have a lot to be proud of. You've crafted a really wonderful community, one that provides fantastic social support and thoughtful discussion. I don't like invoking Reddit's name around here as a watermark, but ever since I found Hubski, I've abandoned Reddit without looking back. Hubski is just better. And yeah, as katakowsj illustrated, "kids" is the clearest answer for those of us with 'em.
I'm pretty proud of the twelve foot patchwork denim cactus I made. It, along with twenty smaller (6' and 3.5') denim cacti were featured at the grand opening of ESPRIT's flagship NYC store.
I like this for a number of reasons, not the least of which is your bad-ass jersey. I also like that cacti are usually portrayed in hot climates and yours looks very "cool". Dig it.
Thanks! That old jersey is beat to hell, got it years ago at my first concert, Dropkick Murphys.
This is awesome! You could also add metal studs to simulate the spines :)
If I ever made another, I'd consider it. This one took the better part of two days to cut and sew, I don't even wanna think about how long it would take to stick spines everywhere!
At the moment I have to say that I am very proud to be apart of The Advanced Apes animated YouTube channel. We only have one video but we are working hard on video 2 and I have high hopes for the future of the channel as whole. I am most proud of it because the two people I am working with are so professional and take the future of the product as seriously as I do.
http://mashable.com/2012/10/02/twitter-entertainment-weekly-.../ This one was pretty cool. I was in a supportive role (literally telling our super genius programmer that he can do it & bouncing ideas back and forth during the process) because I don't know all this jazz. My work bff Kole Slaw basically did the entire thing himself, from figuring out where to get the phones to breaking them and repackaging them and rerouting shit. We didn't realize Mashable would be so entertained that they would do a teardown, or else we would have locked the keypad. Honestly, getting something torn down by Mashable is probably one of the coolest things EVER, however the oldschool higher-ups at my company refuse to realize this. They think it's bad that they figured out and shared our slightly-ghetto, though incredibly inexpensive solution to what the client wanted. IMO, if you make something that interests people enough to tear the fucker down, you've made something good. http://mashable.com/2012/10/02/ew-has-smartphone-inside/ We're currently working on doing something else, in which I'm doing all the UI and design for. I'll share when it's not a secret.

I look forward to seeing it. That phone-hack was sweet. Nice work to all involved
Currently I've been working on getting my five year old son and three year old daughter to "use your words" when resolving conflicts with one another. It's a work in progress. My wife and I are making headway though. Our son has gone from consistently getting physical in conflicts with his sister to whining that he needs help with her, and actually, but rarely, stopping to tell her what she is doing that is bothering him and then asking her to do some other activity. Frustratingly slow, but extremely rewarding.
When you get right down to it, "raising kids" is probably the best answer to this question that there is. Most intense/rewarding collaborative experience in the world. We're thinking about making the jump from one to two. Is it way more intense?
Important work, seemingly never ending I would imagine. I have been working on "use your words" with my 2 year old. It's getting better, but a good long scream often surfaces in place of "Daddy, can I please have more "X". Throw another child in to the mix and now you're working on multiple fronts... -Sounds difficult but like you said it also sounds rewarding. Good luck.
I am proud of the music I compose on my own or with my friends. http://soundcloud.com/kinetics
Definitely Hand It! | The Web's Hand Gesture Manual which is a blog I started and have been running since late December. I mostly post about the gestures myself, but I have also gotten submissions from some friends (and a student in Estonia!). I've achieved some minor blips of little guy fame through different posts on reddit and some twitter shares. The coolest was when The Daft Club (daft punk fansite) linked to my recreation of daft punk album covers with their signature pyramid hand gesture and I saw a user make the gif their signature. It's important to relish even relatively minor success when you're doing these kinds of projects. I have a lot of fun developing it, working on it daily (like Seinfeld's productivity habit chain), noticing just how ubiquitous yet under-the-radar hand gestures are, learning about graphic design, web administration, content creation, headline writing, talking about it with friends and new people I meet. I would love to take the project to the next level, but alas I'm a near-broke college senior searching for real jobs so it'll have to remain my side project for the time being.
I sort of realized it contained too much personal information of various people, including myself. Shit. I was the senior editor of my high school yearbook; it was 500+ pages, full color, and won pretty much every national award there is. I worked on it at least 25 hours a week for an entire year. Extremely proud of it.
