2 Months Old
I’m going to cry. It’s this blog’s 2 month birthday! For my birthday wish I want Google to give me a toolbar pagerank already!
I’ve learned a lot from doing this blog. Spent a lot of quality time with tools like Google Analytics, Feedburner and Enquisite. Saw how crazy Alexa numbers are, especially for a [...]

Breakfast Links: Buffy Sing-A-Long, Remote Controlled Poison Dart Guns and Sad Kermit
Nobody told me this, I had to find out on my own. What the hell do I pay you for? Anyway, there’s a monthly NYC Buffy Musical Sing-A-Long (via gothamist) at the IFC. While I personally didn’t love the musical episode I know there’s at least a couple of you here digging on that. Check [...]
McCain’s MySpace Page Hacked
Just read that John McCain’s MySpace page was “hacked” (via techcrunch). Apparently they used a free template w/out grabbing the images and putting them on their own server - so the designer of the template was footing the bill for the images served off the site. Classy. So, to get their attention, he updated a [...]

Dungeons, Dragons & Engineers
I read this editorial on how Dungeons & Dragons relates to Network Engineering. The author tries to make the point that D&D, by limiting your options makes it easier to be creative which is why people enjoy playing it. Engineers (who play D&D) fight emergencies because they focus the mind on a more limited set [...]

Breakfast Links: Sidewalk bell, Microsoft and Spinvox
First off, I totally had this idea a long time ago, except for in my brain this wasn’t a bicycle bell it was a car horn. But I guess if you’re in Japan a bell works just fine. I love how everyone just moves aside, even the ones who notice that he’s not actually on [...]
On serendipity in the web experience
Lately I’ve been thinking about serendipity in the discovery of pages while surfing the web. With all the noodling around I’ve been doing with Yahoo Pipes (bear with me, this post isn’t about Pipes but rather a lucky byproduct of how I’ve used it…), I’ve installed a few widgets on this blog - the first [...]
Stop Motion Bonanza!
Well, I’ve got two little things, thanks to YouVert, for your lunchtime enjoyment. First is this crazy stop motion skating video of someone using his buddy as the board. It’s pretty stunning, I just wonder if he actually had to jump up and down on his buddy a ton of times in the making of [...]

7 dollars and the dream goes on
Well, somehow I didn’t win the $370million last night. Fortunately I got 3 numbers right and earned a huge $7! That’s 40% of my investment in 2 days! I knew this lotto thing was going to pay off. I think I’m going to let it ride - although if someone actually won the mega millions [...]

This is so true, I say that literally all the time to my cat. (thanks for the pointer, Ben!)
The 50 Most Important People on the Web
So Yahoo just posted PCWorld’s 50 most important people on the web. It’s filled pretty much with who you think it would be filled with. I don’t really like lists like this, because there’s no real criteria given for how the lists define Most Important or whatever. Is Marissa Mayer more influential than Matt Cutts [...]
