Had a blast at the Israel Festival on Sunday. So many awesome attractions all over the great green park.
We had a nice photo backdrop set up by the entrance, but the bastard wind managed to make something so beautiful (the backdrop) into a hanging banner of pain, as the wind mercilessly tugged at the backdrop from all directions.
Cyrus and Omri worked so hard stealing sandbags to weigh the...

Big thanks to actor/artist Alan Cumming!
Last night, Alan Cumming, known primarily for starring in the films X2, Spy Kids, and Goldeneye, held an exhibit for his art at a lovely hotel in the heart of Los Angeles. Alan, being the good guy he is, invited team capsule to come on by and set up TV Mode for him. We happily obliged.

“The announcement follows reports that potential employers have pushed for access to applicants accounts — either asking applicants for their usernames and passwords or asking them to log into their accounts during an interview.

Capsule for college group projects
You are sitting in your cultural anthropology class. The professor is lecturing just as she would on any other day. And then, as if it were of no significance, she tells you to get into groups for a month long group project. This is the beginning of a long and potentially awkward road.
Once you have decided upon who you will be in a group with, the first inner-group question is usually, “how...

Don't let your party get shot up! Use Capsule.
“The party-goer told police someone posted on Facebook that a party was taking place at the address, and the next thing he knew, a lot of people showed up that the host didn’t know.”
You throw a party for your circle of friends. You post the address on your buddy’s wall. A group of local thugs see the event and decide to attend. Long story short, one of them ends up shooting...

Capsule for surprise parties
It is your favorite person’s birthday next week, and a surprise party is in order. You’d like to make a Facebook event, but it is far too risky. There are simply too many risks holding a Facebook event, and you don’t want your friend to have even the slightest idea a surprise party is about to go down.
“No need to risk it,” you think to yourself. “I’ll just start a capsule: private invites and a...

What happens in Vegas goes on Facebook?
As the saying goes, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” But now, with the massive rise in social media sites, the saying has faced a major alteration, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… until it is on Facebook.”
If Las Vegas were to adopt Capsule as the city’s main social media outlet, Vegas would regain that private exclusion that made their slogan so infamous. Of course, people...

Capsule Launch Party = Success!
Last night was the Capsule launch party and it was all documented using CapsuleCam, our mobile app for iPhone and Android. It was a huge hit!
For a typical event, some may wake up dreading the fact that someone uploaded embarrassing photos of them and tagged them on Facebook. But this was a Capsule event, so the first thing last night’s all stars had to say was, “Thank God it was in capsule.”...
