Does anyone else love this commercial?
I’m cranking pages and totally jamming out to this song in my hotel room.
Did anyone watch Meet The Press this morning?
Man oh man. It was a tear jerker.
On Friday, when I first heard of Tim Russert’s death, I can’t say that it had much of an effect on me. One of my colleagues received a text message from her sister in Washington, passing along the news […]
I receive breaking news alerts from CNN, WSJ, NYT, various media-industry and bankruptcy-industry sources. I get a lot of emails. If the Fed cuts interest rates, my Inbox suddenly has 9 new messages letting me know what happened. I usually read one of them and archive the rest.
It amuses me to see […]
My friend and former classmate Alasdair Trotter recently sent me a link to a website called Issuu. The site allows users to upload and share PDF’s.
The first PDF that Alasdair uploaded was a paper that we wrote together last spring entitled NewTube, the Growth of Online Video. In it, we analyzed the strategy […]
My sister’s co-worker Dane Steele Green needs your vote. Genre Magazine, a gay men’s magazine, is running a competition for “Genre Man Of The Year.”
Dane Steele Green is currently in 6th place overall. He needs your vote.
Why should you vote for him? Here’s a few reasons:
Because my sister says he’s a cool guy.
Because […]
Greta and I are watching Season 3 of Lost. In the past, I have made multiple vows to never watch this show again, but I always come back.
I have to know the secret behind all of these mysteries.
A plane crashes on a deserted island. A mysterious black smoke attacks and kills people. […]
The new American Gladiators is a real disappointment. Are they that worried about steroids? Trust me: the American people are not that concerned about a level playing field in American Gladiator.
Old Gladiators:
New Gladiator:
I’m “on the beach.” In the elite world of management consulting, that means that I’m not staffed on a project. To most people, this sounds like paradise. I am getting paid to sit at home and watch television.
But it’s not as great as it sounds. After a couple of days of relaxing, I start […]
Herbietown is actually the best blog on the Internet, but Forksplit is a close second.
This chick writes truthful hilarious stuff about her life and it always makes me laugh. She inspires me.
This is the type of writing that did not have a place before the Internet. Anonymity was too difficult and the local audience […]
This is a funny video, but I tend to agree with this Techdirt writer’s post.

There have been some interesting comments on the last few posts. (Go figure….write something depressing and people will try to make you feel better! :) )
Some of the comments reside on my blog, while others reside in Facebook. I wish I could get them to automatically sync up, so that readers could continue to enjoy […]
My friend Alasdair just introduced me to Book Mooch, a website for trading books. Like all brilliant ideas, the concept is simple: you get 1 point for each book you give away, and you lose 1 point for each book you “buy.”
I just signed up for an account and added 10 paperbacks to my […]
This is the WSJ’s version of Barack Obama’s picture.
Does anyone else feel that it’s not the most flattering picture of him?
some WSJ coverage of him here
More on this later, when I have time…please feel free to post comments below. I’d like to look at the other candidates’ pictures, too.
Dean Hansen visited my Ethics class today for a discussion about copyright in the digital age (which is also the topic of my independent study). We discussed a progression of cases that worked through the courts and helped establish current law: from Cherry Auction to Napster to Grokster to YouTube.
The central issue we discussed was […]
I figured out why my independent study (on copyrights in the digital world) has been stressing me out so much: the issues raised are extremely difficult to reconcile for someone with a strong libertarian bent.
You see, I believe that free expression is the cornerstone of an ideal society….I’ve spent a healthy chunk of my time […]
Thanks again to Alasdair for sharing this video with me.
If you know me, then you know that I get REALLY excited about the Internet. Why? Because it is a vast open marketplace of ideas. And it’s finally starting to live up to its potential.
My friend Alasdair introduced me to Bloglines a couple months ago, and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. RSS feeds […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve been doing research for an independent study (on intellectual property rights in the internet era). There has been a flood of news related to this topic in the last 2 weeks, or maybe I’m just noticing it more. Either way, I can hardly keep up with it. I’m going […]
This has to be one of the most original websites I’ve seen.
I’m not going to say anything more just yet (i don’t want to ruin the surprise), but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you spend a couple of minutes checking it out.
This is an excellent video from Jib Jab.
Over the past year, I’ve become increasingly interested in the role of the media in shaping how we think. Whether it’s blatant political bias or a more subtle group-think, big media puts a slant on all the content they produce. The Internet’s great promise is a true open […]
