I had a great day today (other than a 4am barrage of crying from my baby) at the SF Food Bank. Gotta up the ante for next month! The real question is how far can it go? How infectious can doing good really be here in the real world? All I know is I’m believing […]

Let me paraphrase from wikipedia: A 400 pound cat with huge nasty teeth that likes to eat meaty things. In case you missed it, a tiger recently killed a boy and mauled two others at the SF Zoo. As a new father, I cannot possiby imagine the horror the family must be going through, and […]

I read a decent amount of tech blogs, and the topic of lifecasting comes up from time to time. Dave Winer, Robert Scoble, and Jeremiah Owyang are all fans of Twitter. Bijan Sabet is a Tumblr user (and investor), and my friend Brian Solis likes, well… everything. There are a few other services out there […]

Forbes put up its list of “Web Celebs” yesterday.  This list is utterly pointless and shows nothing but ignorance of the diversity of the Internet and the power of individualized content.  Sorry, it’s not completely pointless, as I’m sure 25 people feel pretty cool today, and I’m genuinely happy for them (especially for the ones […]

Saw on good ol TechMeme today that TIME mag put out 50 “Top 10” Lists.  Now I love me a Top 10 list as much as anyone.  I clicked through to check it out.  Normally I’d read each list.  Except there’s never a List, just individual entries!  Rather than having to browse through 50 pages, […]

Last night I wrote a letter to my Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, regarding my concerns over the newly introduced PRO IP act. This is one of those moments where I felt the issue was so important I wanted to make sure the awareness spread beyond the typical scope of my readership. As a result, I picked […]

I’ll put the Last of the Mohicans score (by Randy Edelman) down as one of my favorites of all time (some others include: LOTR, Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story, Schindler’s List, Raiders, Star Wars (duh), Jurassic Park, and Danny Elfman’s Batman). Saw this commercial while watching last week’s Steelers game: Awesome.

Saw this article today in which the Steelers’ Anthony Smith has supposedly guaranteed a win this week. Here’s the quote: “We’re going to win,” Smith said. “Yeah, I can guarantee a win. As long as we come out and do what we got to do. Both sides of the ball are rolling, and if our […]

NOTE: this is mostly spoiler-free, but if you want a really “clean” Heroes experience, just don’t read it. Last year, the marketing prior to the start of the show Heroes had me juiced up for it. I was ready, and when it hit, I took the chewy worm and swallowed it wholeheartedly. In fact, episodes […]
