In this edition of get::ting answers, Public Relations Manager Misty interviews Matt, a graphic designer and videographer, to get his answers on important questions such as the best iPhone application and where to find the best happy hour in Cleveland.
Misty: What is your favorite online source for design inspiration?
Designer Matt: For Web sites, I like The Favourite Website Awards or the “fwah,” as we call it. Each day they have a cool new Web site design. For video, I like to go to YouTube, where I search for interesting things I saw on TV and watch it more closely.
M: Speaking of video, where do you think video technology will be in the next two years and how will people be using it?
DM: Video will be everywhere. One of the big things will be that TV and set-top boxes will be more connected to the Internet. People will be watching Web video on their TVs and not just on their computers. Mobile technology will also continue to get better and better in terms of quality. Phones will get faster and there will be more that are video capable – enabling users to take video and upload directly to YouTube just like the new iPhone.
M: What is your favorite iPhone application right now?
DM: It might sound cliché, but its true…I really like using Facebook and Twitter applications. For Twitter, I’m still trying to find the best one and am using multiple applications. Tweet Deck just came out with a new app though and I’m beginning to like that.
M: At the thunder::tech holiday party, you won the award for being “Most Like the Mac Guy.” If you were offered a chance, would you be willing to be the new face of Apple?
DM: No….I like being behind the camera, not in front. Unless they paid me a million dollars or more…
M: What do you like to do in your spare time when you aren’t at your desk or on your phone?
DM: Right now I’m training for the Cleveland Triathlon in August. It’s my first one, and getting up early and running are the parts that scare me the most. It’s also really dorky, but since buying a house I’ve adopted the hobby of home automation technology so lighting, air conditioning and heat can all be controlled over the Internet.
M: Do you have a favorite Cleveland spot where you like to hang out?
DM: I don’t have just one. I really like Edgewater Beach and for dinner I like to go to Parallax in Tremont. Lava Lounge also has one of the best happy hours around. I suggest the burger, fries and martini, all for 10 bucks.
