[re: rich kids and computers]

For the record, my parents were thrifty and never spent much on anything… but we did have an Atari computer that could be plugged into a TV. They bought educational games for my brother and I. We also had subscriptions to kids science magazines that…
Yeah I had an Atari 800XL until high school. We certainly weren’t rich.

A demo of our new XBOX download ad unit. Also my debut as a narrator. I think I’m going to stick with my day job.
Yep, that’s my loud ass keyboard in the background there.

When I’m riding up in the elevator in the morning, if there are no other buttons lit up, I push “1” right before I exit.
Me too! Only I do so after the bell chimes for the 2nd floor.

dankantor:
A few days ago Mozilla announced that they submitted Firefox Home to the App Store. Firefox Home is a web browser for the iPhone. This would have been huge news had it been the first third party browser submitted to the App Store. But Opera stole that thunder a few months ago when they submitted (and got accepted) the Opera Mini Browser.
I think this move may be more...

I'm Comic Sans, Asshole

Read this at McSweeney’s.
You don’t like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don’t like that I’m all over your sister-in-law’s blog? You don’t like that I’m on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I’m pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fuck what, Picasso. We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass...

Thoughts on WebM and the future of online video
ericmortensen:
jaredklett:
It’s a bit of an understatement to say that the unveiling of the WebM project has caused a lot of chatter in the video world. Today I spent some idle cycles thinking about it and its impact after playing with the code and reading the documentation.
Looking five years down the road, I believe the majority of Internet video will not be watched within a web browser....
WatchGreat TED talk from Graham Hill founder of Treehugger on how he can’t fully commit to vegetarianism, and how he can still make a difference by being a weekday veg.

I'm not quitting Facebook.
