Troll patrol
Check out this hilarious, rambling, email sent to me. (Believe it or not, while I do tend to get some hate, stuff this amusing this is pretty rare.) Pay attention to the way the specimen unravels as he goes, like he can’t even keep his thoughts together. Also note the great irony of this guy’s [...]
Oh, so that’s why Facebook Beacon is so evil
Logged into Facebook (yeah, I finally started an account a couple of months back to watch the Engadget stuff on there) and saw this. Kind of a duh moment because I followed the whole Beacon controversy and all, but I’ve never used Facebook enough to notice how much of a completely seamless, fantastically engineered, and [...]
Fake Steve caught on tape flipping out about Veronica
Remember where FSJ said he kind of threw a fit when Veronica walked in the room? He wasn’t kidding. Definitely a moment, glad someone got that on tape.
Top ten sexy geeks 2007 — so close!
Was named runner up in Violet Blue’s top ten sexy geeks 2007! “Unrelentingly sexy?” Shucks! Of course, most people will recognize the top slot on that list as my better and FAR hotter half, Veronica. I might jokingly remind her that I was one of Paper Magazine’s Beautiful People, 2006 — but let’s face it, [...]
I guess I’m a web celeb!
Wow, Forbes did me the great honor of ranking me among this year’s Web Celeb 25. Hard to imagine I’ll be able to pull this one off twice, but for now I’m definitely in good company, along with Om, FSJ, Mike, Kevin, and everyone else. Oh, bonus extra profile action here. I think I’m going [...]
W00t is word of the year
Fine, whatever, Merriam-Webster disappoints with the same kind of linkbaiting as Time Magazine naming YOU (read: us) as person of the year. But there’s only one take I want on “w00t” being word of the year: that of woot.com. Unfortunately, it’s a decidedly mute response.
Hard times for internet biggies
Man, it’s been a rough couple of weeks for Gawker, CNET, Facebook, etc. Editors disgruntled, editors leaving, editors being wrongfully and egregiously fired, readers / users up in arms at these and other offenses and disappointments (as they should be!). Let me tell you, there’s an unbelievable amount of pressure in the internet big leagues. [...]
RCRD LBL launches!
Not sure what more there is to say about RCRD LBL that I didn’t already say at Engadget, but I’m super proud and excited for Pete. Not even just because he’s one of my best friends and I’ve been watching this thing develop behind the scenes over the past few months, but because it’s actually [...]
Meeting Fake Steve Jobs
So last night Veronica, Niall and I went to the Fake Steve Jobs reading at Books, Inc. in the Castro. We show up, and, well, FSJ describes it best: “I recognized Veronica right away. I had to stop — for a moment I could not speak. If it weren’t for the nitroglycerin tablets that I [...]
Mahalo Daily trailer is up, show premiers November 5th!
After months of my dear sweet Veronica invading my office space working on her new show for Mahalo they’re finally ready to launch! The trailer is a high-larious take on internet video memes — I’ve been waiting to see it for weeks, and it doesn’t disappoint. Peep it here, and subscribe to it here.
I'm an editor and technology critic in the midst of founding a new web startup:
