Palin/Couric on SNL
Tina Fey is fucking incredible. And sort of hot.
I really want to buy some GOOG.
400$ / share is still really expensive though…
The Story of Muxtape →
muxtape:
What happened, and where we’re going. Muxtape is relaunching as a service exclusively for bands.
The state of the music industry is really a shame; Justin claims that they know more than they are given credit for, but obviously they don’t have their ducks in a row if this happened. All the credit in the world though, to Justin and Muxtape, for staying innovative and moving onward...
Watchrickyv:
After hearing Matt Damon’s brilliant comparison of a Sarah Palin presidency to a bad Disney movie, I called up Sam and said “Let’s make a trailer for what that movie would look like.” Within hours, Dan and Amir were writing it, Ben and the CHTV crew were casting and producing it, and two weeks later, here it is.
Digg?
Brilliant.
Theme.
I really need to make a custom theme for this and start using it more frequently. Now that I’m about to be full-time on my startup, I want to record some progress and generally speaking share more with the world. I’ll get a theme up and running this week, hopefully.
Gary Vaynerchuk
What a great talk. It was littered with awesome quotes:
“There are way too many people in this room right now doing stuff they hate. Please stop doing that! There is no reason, in 2008, to do shit you hate! None. Promise me you won’t.”
“Listen to your users, like Fried said, absolutely. But, giving a shit about your users is way better.”
“If you like ALF, do...
“Everybody has time. Stop watching fucking Lost.”

This article gives some useful insight and answers some questions I’ve pondered in the past. Stop reading before the comments to avoid ingesting garbage.
Really, don’t read the comments. If you’re interested (even at all) in some of the psychological research behind conservative / liberal views, check out this video from Jonathan Haidt (mentioned in the article) at the TED...
At least Wii Fit is good.
marco:
I’m trying to find some fun Wii games to play with my groomsmen in our hotel, but can’t find any that get very solid recommendations that we’d actually enjoy except Mario Kart. The Wii game library, though, is pathetic. Nearly everything that could have been good is ruined by bad controls or being a half-assed port from other systems. And even among what’s decent, most of it is too Super...

Loving this so far.
Coding.
Actually getting some work done these days. I’m debating whether or not I should chronicle my progress on Tumblr…

They frighten me. I really miss Ron Paul…
Yammer
Really? Yammer won TechCrunch50? A Twitter clone? Disappointing end to an otherwise really great conference.
[Edit]: I actually took the time to watch the Yammer presentation, and in its simplicity, it makes a ton of sense. I guess I didn’t get it at first, because I have no desire to communicate with the people at my company like this, nor would they even be able to. I still don’t...
Tom, Oh Tom.
Why did you have to get injured? Football season will be much less fun now.
