It happened AGAIN!?
Remember the story about the girl who took advantage of my kindness by fooling me into believing she was interested in more than just me finishing her web portfolio and web coding final? Well this foreign women tried pulling the same shit on me at a coffee shop trying to get me to design her a website for her final assignment for a class of hers.
Here’s the design I did, you can download it...

AppleCare is a big fucking joke.
I am not satisfied with the service I received from Secant Technologies’s apple repair staff.
Although so far it seems that they’ve repaired my mouse and keyboard issue, the topcase that they claim to be “brand new” is in worse physical condition then my previous topcase.
Area’s of the topcase are bowing around the top right keys and bottom left wrist area. There...
I'm going crazy.
My Macbook pro has officially been gone for a week. I’m seeing color’s and demons are calling my name.
Macbook Pro in for repair.
Here are the problems I’ve been having with my macbook pro:
Keyboard + Mouse randomly stop working
DVD/CD Drive will not burn anything
DVD/CD Drive will not read cd’s.
Dead pixels in the monitor.
Bowing of the screen.
Battery already dead… already.
Power cord exposing wires (covered in electrical tape)
Other than that it works.
Special thanks to the guys at Secant...

Birthday Wishes to my Brother
Everyone who is alive should wish my brother Derek Harkins a very happy birthday he’s getting pretty old, but you’ll have to ask him how old he is. :P
Meeting with Elina today!
This entire month I’ve been struggling to run their adwords campaign and facebook ad as well with my own money. After completely shattering my wallet I’m going to be reporting to Elina the numerous opportunities she has with Google Adwords and facebook. Also got Elina’s Twitter over 400 natural followers and over, and over 200 fans on Elina’s Facebook Page.
Some things we...

5 Reasons to Use Twitter
IronShirtMedia asked me for 5 reasons why businesses should use Twitter.
Here are my 5 reasons:
Reported January 26, 2010 Twitter has over 75 million users.
The ability to search through all of them on a personal level.
Conversate with multiple people at once using hash tags.
Widgets allow you to show all sorts of tweets everywhere.
You can tweet anything, anywhere at anytime.
The real...
gate9productions reminder!
Just to remind everyone the existence of gate9productions. Be prepared to see our latest music video for Derek Harkins remix of V-SO Hott’s song: Good Time. Should be coming out by the end of this month, (APRIL). You’ll be able to see it uploaded on our gate9productions youtube.
djdtm has a dilemma!
There is this girl that I liked, I dont feel I need to get into the definition of what liking means because I’m sure all of you already know. Because I will only be talking about her she will remain nameless.
This girl originally approached me wanting my help with her portfolio website. Foolishly googly eyed I helped develop her site and host it on my webhost for free. After not hearing...
djdtm likes Transmit (FTP Client)
So it’s been a couple weeks since I bought Transmit and so far my experience with it has been amazing. Just like how I used Cyberduck there are only a few main functions that I use most which are drag and drop uploads, FTP book marks and editing files right off the server, all of which I have experienced to be smooth buttery goodness. The only hangups I’ve experienced with Transmit...

KalamazooChoppers.com (LIVE)
My newest client and coolest by far, has a new website now. I’m completely managing their internet presence, and will continue to push their business as far into the internet as I possibly imagine. You should scope out their website as well as join them on facebook.
Easy wordpress local content swapping. My...
On my local host I have multiple sites I need to build all the way out before I can launch them. I create seperate databases for all of them and then I make a backup of the fresh version of wp-config.php by renaming it. I make sure there exists no wp-config.php so I can install into any new databases that I create. Then after each website install and the next version of wp-config.php I rename as...
What is the Internet?
If you’ve never asked yourself this question, chances are you’re using the Internet the wrong way. The best way to describe the Internet is one GIANT FUCKING COMMERCIAL. Jesus CHRIST. Everyone on here is just trying to make money. What the hell, I’m getting pissed off seeing advertisements EVERYWHERE. I think I’m gonna go back to watching TV.
PS. I know there are ads on my...
My experience with Smack serial.
Smack serial is deliciousness from the gods. Its the perfect level of crunchiness and sugary sweet. I believe the reason they called it smack serial is cause it feels like the most satisfying smack to the taste buds you will ever feel.
Quite possibly the best thing about smack serial is the fact that it stays crunchy all the way through the consumption process. Even to the last kernel you can...

My experience using Cyberduck.
Cyberduck. The dream FTP client, free and easy to use with a lot of useful features. The most common functions I found myself using after a little over a year of use started to progressively slow down and pooped on almost everything I am now currently working on.
These functions were, ftp bookmarking with keychain, drag and drop uploads and downloads, preview file without downloading and my...

Met this girl, Meg, last night and had a good chat about music and the local scene. Check out her blog even if you’re not from around the 269 // Kalamazoo area.

Our Green Internet (Help Me Google!)
So my friend Brett told me about Google testing out some fiber optics and that they are looking to start in a nominated community.
This is my chance to tell the world to help me build a Greener Internet.
This is the core of what I submitted:
Name: Daniel Kenneth Harkins
Organization: Our Green Internet Description: My dream is to inspire everyone with Internet access to begin using it...

Now you can see how I schedule my life! Awesome right?
Pretty much I am sharing my main google calendar to show the world who I’m meeting with and when and details of each.
Tumblr aggravating me...
This is the 2nd time tumblr has reset my website theme to an older version. Yes, I’m going to make this public for the world to see before I tell tumblr support.
I had made modifications to this theme with a new background new colors and some new layout code. But for some reason, it reset again, not only the theme but the name of my tumblr as well as my description.
It also removed my...

I helped design the song art for Derek but it was mostly him. :)
More vsohott in the works.
Vsohott sent me the stems for the track Future Love, and I got them right on to my brother Derek to remix. As soon as we get the track done I’m gonna be designing a graphic on it and going to throw it up on youtube as a video response to vsohotts original track.
Keep on the look because an exclusive preview will appear on Derek’s soundcloud first.
In the mean time I’ve been...

To fathom the purpose of the entire internet is difficult, I would know, I’m still doing it. What’s even more difficult is fathoming how your life plays within the purpose of the internet…
My experience defragging my Macbook Pro (OSX).
The irony of a mac not being able to defrag, is that macs are mostly used, AND MARKTED for editing media of larger files for the creative individual. This is a problem for people who come from having a knowledgable Windows OS background that have converted to mac for this reason, (take time away from PC gaming to focus on my creative work).
Unfortunately for people like that, me included, you...
srsly, daft punk and tron. →
I can’t seem to stop watching this trailer over and over again discovering an even better trailer because I remember that Daft Punk is doing the sound track.
Facebook Fan Page? →
So my internet presence is flourishing once again, now with social media on the rise I can truly fulfill my desire to entertain unlike before when there was no such thing and my website was my only outlet. LOL!
The internet, not so overwhelming.
In my perspective I see the internet as the least overwhelming place possible. Anyone with a computer connection can learn using the internet. Everything I know about the internet I learned on the internet. So pretty much I know the internet. LOL!
Anyways. I guess I’m just trying to say that I’m awesome.

Welcome to my tumblr!
Well, just like how I said in my blogger, I finally settled with having my content being posted on other websites and web hosts other than my own. I hope in the future to have everything of mine unified in one place, but its becoming more and more apparent that the most efficient way to get your stuff out there is by actually getting your stuff out there, and not keeping everything in your own...
