it's cow. moo.: FUCK YOU, GAWKER. →
rosalindrobertson:
Gawker is crowdsourcing TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to pay off the drug dealers who have a video that allegedly shows the mayor of my city smoking crack.
And I think everyone in this city should ask - How DARE you?
Let me talk to you a second about drugs, criminality,…
There’s a lot of really good points about this being brought up. I highly recommend you...

You know those “share” buttons on sites like Amazon? Some times its really helpful to use those. Sure, no one cares that you bought the next Dan Brown book, BUT even if no one clicks on your “I bought Write with Lions” (*cough* Jim Markus) that little “share” buoys that book’s rankings in that service’s database which can be huge in getting the next...

MtGox gets caught slipping, US government clamps... →
Yesterday the Department of Homeland Security served the Dwolla mobile payment service with a court order requiring it to immediately cease all account activities with the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange….
Sigh… I was afraid of this. Apparently the head of Mt. Gox (which is based in Japan, but is run by an American) filed the papers for Mtgox’s incorporation improperly. As you can...

WatchMy stupid interpretation of the Zach Braff Kickstarter news (which I have linked to previously).
Audio levels suck, but it was made in about as much time as you took to watch it. You’re welcome.

Full details in the link, but I’m sure this is what a lot of people are doing right now:
And that’s fine, because I get why you’d be a little annoyed. I am too.
But, please. Take a deep breath and remember: Its a market place.
Yes, Kicstarters tend to be projects that you wouldn’t otherwise be seen or get the level of funding and attention. Other kickstarters are, for...

I wrote this over on my tech blog. If you care for such things, read on!

BlackBerry has just announced that its hugely popular BBM messaging service is going multi-platform: it will be released for Android and iOS as a free app this summer. BBM will support iOS hardware…

WriteMonkey is a 'zenware' text editor that you... →
This is possibly the best free piece of writing software available. The application launches and you’re off writing. No “create new” no “project” folders, just start f***ing writing.
A whole ton of features are at your disposal with a click of the right mouse button and you can configure WriteMonkey to look however you want (I prefer white text on a dark background,...

I’m very good at tricking myself sometimes. For example, just now I was catching up on the reviews for the Blackberry Q10 and I was thinking, “yes, that integrated conversation feature is just what I need.”
I don’t need any of that crap. I have a job but its not a JOB job.

This one’s just a bit of reality that I was going to post in a comment thread on another site. I found that the words I was putting down didn’t necessarily address the original post, but I wanted to get this out there into the world anyway.
just for clarity this is a different person. I have not been to an AA meeting and have no plans to.
The original post was to effect of:

Great profile of Reed Hastings by Ashlee Vance for Bloomberg Businessweek. Three standouts:
The master copies of all the shows and movies available to Netflix take up 3.14 petabytes of storage space. (In comparison, Facebook uses about 1.5 petabytes to store about 10 billion photos.) Hollywood studios used to send individual films and shows to Netflix on a disc or thumb drive; now...

mygifttohumanity:
I didn’t like how the embed was showing up so here’s the Storify link.
Basically, Penny Arcade is full of crap but I have suggestions on how to turn this situation around from people just being pissed that a couple of dudes are using it to generate money they don’t “need”.
Yes, its kind of petty. Its really none of my business but I think crowdfunding is cool...

“Sundance is a lost cause. But Kickstarter isn’t. Not if we put a stop to this...”
– By Ken Levine: I won’t give Zach Braff one dime
The guy makes a pretty convincing case for why “big fish” like Zach Braff and others should stay the hell away.
I worry that this kind of stuff is “stratifying” crowdfunding. But I also think it may just be an...
