If you’re a football fan who has been pining for NFL Sunday Ticket but can’t because you’re unable or unwilling to switch to DirecTV, you might be in luck — if you’re able to part with $350. The…
Possibly The Best Review Of Wendy’s, Or Anything, Ever.

August, 5, 2010 - Denver - Twelve blocks away from the conference, I sit, as Aretha blows the lid off a man who done her wrong, and drink. I’m 5280 feet above sea level in a bar fashioned after the Queen Mary’s. Last night, my breathing was labored. This morning, I drank hotel room…
I am so bummed I couldn’t make it out to see SeoulBrother while he was out here. Perhaps I’ll get another chance the next time I’m in Seattle. Which may be sooner than I thought.
This is so reminiscent of what the music labels did in the early part of the decade. They hemmed and hawed and demanded crazy things from software developers trying to help them sell their own stuff. They had grand plans to have their own music stores online where they could make your life as a consumer suck. The TV/Movie studios are headed down the same path with the mantra that they won’t let what happened to the music labels happen to them.
And what happened to the music labels? They lost control to Apple, yes. But Apple also saved their asses. CD sales were plummeting and people could easily download music for free rather than pay the extortion fees secretly agreed on by the major labels. Apple came in with a simple idea: all songs just 99 cents. And look what happened.
Media companies, especially movie and television, hate consumers. They hate you. They have no intention of doing anything at all that you might enjoy. They only want to reach in and take every cent you have. Apple made a music store that consumers love and the music labels have been bitching ever since.
Surprised he didn’t add the city, county, state, country, Earth and God to the list.
Fun and easy to use, the DeviantArt Muro online drawing tool (created entirely in HTML5) is a sight to behold.
I’m curious how much of this interactivity can be attributed to Javascript. Could something be similarly built in HTML 4? Or are they specifically using the canvas feature in HTML5?
Anyone? Bueller?
I am so content with closed systems.
Hell hath no fury like a HPOA scorned.
A simple Safari 5 extension I wrote that removes virtually everything from YouTube’s player pages except the actual video.
This is fantastic!
Terrible white-whine ad.
My new favorite term is “white-whine ad.” I see them everywhere and they make me sick. Wait…did I just white whine?
TwelveSouth unveils its latest product and, just like the rest, it is a thing of beauty.
The DODOcase turned out to be a dud of a product and I realized that I didn’t want my iPad in it a second longer. So I went to the Apple Store last night and decided to buy the Sena ZipBook. While I was looking around at cases I kept seeing this metal object on the top shelf. It was so intriguing that it just kind of lingered in my mind. So when I was waiting to checkout, I went over and grabbed one. I decided I’d choose between the Compass and the Zipbook after using them both and return the one that didn’t work. Now I have both and I think they are fantastic products of the highest quality. I don’t want to return either of them.
This is just about the saddest thing I’ve read in a while.

It takes a special kind of narcissism to celebrate ignorance by comparing one’s self to genius.
