Nature’s Majesty: Part 1 — Yosemite

Look how much fun I'm having! I've taken three trips to California this year. Two of them I took a car the whole way, and the most recent involved a quick flight and a not-so-quick drive. But more important than the destination is the journey, and on each of these trips I've hit a notable national park for the first time. First Crater Lake last June. Then Red Woods national park a few weeks back and today, Yosemite! I've been meaning to post all the pictures here, so I'm gonna work backwards and make it happen. I'm about to get all Ansel Adams on shit, but the fall colors on…

Thursdays at the Office: The Rejected Episode

Sarah Morrison came to visit a few months ago, and we were reminiscing fondly over time when we used to make content for fun, not just for others' enjoyment. From that came the idea for Thursdays at the Office, the hottest new series on Yobeat. The above episode was the first that we filmed, playing off an actual episode of The Office plot line, and making Sarah and I laugh hysterically. Unfortunately, the target audience of Yobeat not only doesn't pay close enough attention to TV to get the Office reference, but doesn't care about Sarah, or me, or anyone else in the episode. So it's being relegated to here…

My Famous Dad!

Basically all this site has become is a place for people who've gotten their instagram accounts blocked to find on google and leave comments that will effectively do nothing. I'm ok with that. Personal blogs are dead. (Follow me on instagram! @brookegeery) But anyway, my super famous dad* made the Weather Channel this morning and if that's not blog worthy, I don't know what is! *I must be adopted.

The Skatepark Map Lives!

We're in the process of bidding farewell to the office about the Vegan bakery. I'd make some baking puns about it being bittersweet, but actually I'm not that sad. I will not miss every person who stops by saying they could never work above a bakery because they wouldn't stop eating, etc. Plus we have about three times as much space overall and I have my own office now. Real pro like. We've been moving in between traveling the past couple weeks, and my office is pretty much done. Of course I spent a solid day (and some intern hours) on the most important part: ressurecting the skatepark map. It's…

How To Get Users Engaged on Facebook

I've really been embracing this social media business lately. I know that's my job and I've been running a website since the dawn of websites, but admittedly, I've only recently embraced the full potential of Facebook. I'm still not convinced it has any sort of staying power in the ever-changing social media landscape, but I have finally been seeing the usefulness -- Not just driving traffic, but also finding joy in posting something that gets "good engagement." So how does one get good engagement on Facebook, you may ask? Between Yobeat, and some freelance work I've been doing, I've finally got it figured out. It's not asking questions. It's not…

Amazing Internet Opportunities!

It's been awhile since I've done one of these posts putting people on blast, since I'm pretty busy these days running a website that is apparently quite successful. But along with the success of Yobeat has come an influx of incredible offers, opportunities and suggestions of ways for random start-ups and other bad ideas to involve themselves in the site. Without further adieu, I present some of my favorites from the last week. Subject:     Free Professional Writer for Yobeat Hope keeping well. I'm just getting in touch to ask if you're open to reviewing content from freelance writers at Yobeat - if so, I'd love to put together a…

Crazy Cat Lady For Life!

Now that the cat is out of the bag about my first tattoo (sorry mom and dad!) I figure it's a good excuse to post Suicide Girls-style pictures of myself on my blog! That's what people who have tattoos do, right? I mean, I'm new to this whole thing, so you tell me. Also, being a writer and there being a ridiculous back story, I guess I'll share that too. I didn't plan on getting a giant tattoo of Tyra on my bicep -- or really getting a tattoo at all two weeks ago -- but I had been casually tossing around the idea of getting a small cat tattoo…

Crazy Cat Lady For Life!

Now that the cat is out of the bag about my first tattoo (sorry mom and dad!) I figure it's a good excuse to post Suicide Girls-style pictures of myself on my blog! That's what people who have tattoos do, right? I mean, I'm new to this whole thing, so you tell me. Also, being a writer and there being a ridiculous back story, I guess I'll share that too. I didn't plan on getting a giant tattoo of Tyra on my bicep -- or really getting a tattoo at all two weeks ago -- but I had been casually tossing around the idea of getting a small cat tattoo…

Sponsor Me!

Thanks to all the people who give me stuff, my parents, my friends for filming and you for watching. But mostly thanks to Rebecca Black. "So awesome. Best sponsor me video I've watched in months." -- Ron Faverty, Marketing Director, Rome SDS "Sadly, I don't think [our] snowboard footage will look like a cute 12-year-old boy."

Nature’s Majesty: Part 1 — Yosemite

Look how much fun I'm having! I've taken three trips to California this year. Two of them I took a car the whole way, and the most recent involved a quick flight and a not-so-quick drive. But more important than the destination is the journey, and on each of these trips I've hit a notable national park for the first time. First Crater Lake last June. Then Red Woods national park a few weeks back and today, Yosemite! I've been meaning to post all the pictures here, so I'm gonna work backwards and make it happen. I'm about to get all Ansel Adams on shit, but the fall colors on…

Thursdays at the Office: The Rejected Episode

Sarah Morrison came to visit a few months ago, and we were reminiscing fondly over time when we used to make content for fun, not just for others' enjoyment. From that came the idea for Thursdays at the Office, the hottest new series on Yobeat. The above episode was the first that we filmed, playing off an actual episode of The Office plot line, and making Sarah and I laugh hysterically. Unfortunately, the target audience of Yobeat not only doesn't pay close enough attention to TV to get the Office reference, but doesn't care about Sarah, or me, or anyone else in the episode. So it's being relegated to here…

My Famous Dad!

Basically all this site has become is a place for people who've gotten their instagram accounts blocked to find on google and leave comments that will effectively do nothing. I'm ok with that. Personal blogs are dead. (Follow me on instagram! @brookegeery) But anyway, my super famous dad* made the Weather Channel this morning and if that's not blog worthy, I don't know what is! *I must be adopted.

The Skatepark Map Lives!

We're in the process of bidding farewell to the office about the Vegan bakery. I'd make some baking puns about it being bittersweet, but actually I'm not that sad. I will not miss every person who stops by saying they could never work above a bakery because they wouldn't stop eating, etc. Plus we have about three times as much space overall and I have my own office now. Real pro like. We've been moving in between traveling the past couple weeks, and my office is pretty much done. Of course I spent a solid day (and some intern hours) on the most important part: ressurecting the skatepark map. It's…

How To Get Users Engaged on Facebook

I've really been embracing this social media business lately. I know that's my job and I've been running a website since the dawn of websites, but admittedly, I've only recently embraced the full potential of Facebook. I'm still not convinced it has any sort of staying power in the ever-changing social media landscape, but I have finally been seeing the usefulness -- Not just driving traffic, but also finding joy in posting something that gets "good engagement." So how does one get good engagement on Facebook, you may ask? Between Yobeat, and some freelance work I've been doing, I've finally got it figured out. It's not asking questions. It's not…

Amazing Internet Opportunities!

It's been awhile since I've done one of these posts putting people on blast, since I'm pretty busy these days running a website that is apparently quite successful. But along with the success of Yobeat has come an influx of incredible offers, opportunities and suggestions of ways for random start-ups and other bad ideas to involve themselves in the site. Without further adieu, I present some of my favorites from the last week. Subject:     Free Professional Writer for Yobeat Hope keeping well. I'm just getting in touch to ask if you're open to reviewing content from freelance writers at Yobeat - if so, I'd love to put together a…
