business, internet, commentary and more
I’m in a good mood and my brilliant mentor, noah, suggested I create a caption contest for the following picture:
Winner receives a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate. Leave your caption in the comments.
Winner: With my invisible knife, I stab at thee, foul editor.
PS: Photo taken with my new iPhone (on T-Mobile, ask me how!).
I will buy a burrito to anyone who helps me build “The Accident Tent.” Tow trucks and local and highway law enforcement will carry them in the trunk. As soon as they arrive at an accident and move it out of traffic they pop out this all-encompassing tent surrounding everything and everyone so that it [...]
This weekend was the third iteration of Community Next and it was focused on developing for platforms (in other words: how to make money off of Facebook). I’ve been tossing around some ideas myself and only needed to listen to one or two panels to determine following:
The “bubble” has decentralized. Instead of one big commotion [...]
Haunted libraries really exist? According to George Eberhart at the Britannica blogs, there are a number of haunted libraries throughout the country. I asked 9rules and am curious: why do you think libraries are often portrayed as haunted, and do people still visit libraries?
I didn’t wait in line for an iPhone today. Largely because I’m on a great MyFaves Family Plan at T-Mobile. Oh, and I love my Pearl. But, today I’ve started something I attempted to do back in January: a daily video blog. Why? a) I hate failing and b) my favorite guys at Viddler are [...]

I want each and every one of you to help me solve this one:
How the hell did Cars lose to Happy Feet?
Seriously, I’m curious as to what made it better.
I magically got a little sick (I never get sick). My throat hurts. It’s not good. Luckily I’m a guy and it’s okay for me to clear my throat profusely about a dozen times an hour. Additionally, we’re allowed to spit up anything we find back there. Gross? Sure. Sense of relief? Definitely. Anyway, one [...]
So, I got a little bit of free time and decided to make a quick song dedicated to the new version of WordPress. Colin had the brilliant idea of using Nelly’s song “Air Force Ones’. So, I did this a number of weeks ago thinking I’d have time to make a video. I don’t. So, [...]
My favorite question asked on Tuesday was ’so what did you do this weekend?’ because naturally my non-nonchalant response was ‘put on a 350-plus-person conference’. If you don’t know, Noah Kagan had planned a terrific conference and I had the pleasure of helping out along the way. If you want to know what everyone thought [...]
I’ve done some polling, a little bit of research and the evidence is overwhelming. The worst thing about Super Bowl XLI was:
All of it.
Bonus musing: Why do we allow car companies to create commercials?
