jakoblodwick: Staying consistent with my current obsession with ludicrously minimalistic design, I redid Reggie’s website tonight, and put up a new video. We plan to regularly post new videos of his live performances in high quality.

True Story

zachklein: An hour ago, I spoke to business class at a midwestern Catholic university about my experience at Connected Ventures, etc. They asked whether they could see a few examples of Busted Tees. Up until this point, mindful of some faculty sitting in the back row, I avoided showing any content from ...

Small newspaper teams up with local government to steal money from large newspaper

Small newspaper teams up with local government to steal money from large newspaper: The San Francisco Bay Guardian (indie) persuaded a court to confiscate over six million dollars from the SF Weekly (corporate). “It shows that a small business has a right to a level playing field when competing with ...

“I don’t care if it’s 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don’t want her talking to Putin, I don’t want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don’t want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest.” - Larry David On Hillary Clinton (on huffingtonpost)

Someone defends the small newspaper's coercive actions

After reading my post, Tumblr user Squashed defended the little guy with the following point: A giant media conglomerate owns a bunch of newspapers. One of those competes with an independent newspaper. The media conglomerate decides it wants the independent newspaper to go away. (So far so good. ...

I made a Mix for Erica, and thought I'd spread the love with a Muxtape. Enjoy.

Mike Hedge and I took a Road Trip... Here is Some Video

... from mike ambs on Vimeo. Mike Hedge and I drove to Austin for SXSW - we stopped to get out of the car and walk around quite a few times, taking pictures and video... just cause that's how we roll. I didn't really know what to do with all this footage :P so, I just smoothcam'd some of it and put ...

Your Good Karma for the Month

Okay people, I have a favor to ask of you, it's nothing too elaborate, but it's a favor all the same. I'm sure 90% of you have stopped reading by now :P But my friends, A Faulty Chromosome, are trying to set up a tour, and it would help them greatly if certain college radio stations have played their ...

iphoto question

I have almost 40 GBs of little avi movies from my camera in iPhoto - and I know that if those were saved as mp4's instead, that I'd probably save a lot of space on my drives. But the problem is - there's no easy way, that I can think of, to take the movies I have in iPhoto now, replace them with ...

I Hope They Were Wearing Their Lapel Pins

So, I've been meaning to sit down and write about how much this was bugging me for the last week. The other day, while sitting in traffic on the 405, I was telling my Mom over the phone about some of the stories I'd been reading regarding ABC's investigation on torture. More importantly: who approved ...

Over the Top PNG

The 24-bit PNG image format has held a ton of promise for so long. It promised designers the ability to have true alpha transparency for their images so that they could save files once and put them over just about any background color or pattern and they'd look great. Generally, PNGs save as reasonably ...

Privacy on Pownce

We've been trying to balance both privacy and user discoverability on Pownce to varying degrees of success since we launched the site three weeks ago. I just wrote a longish post over on the Pownce blog explaining our thoughts on this equilibrium. Thanks for everyone who gave us feedback on this subject.

Digg on an iPhone

We just launched a special version of Digg today intended to be browsed on an iPhone. It's available at digg.com/iphone but you've got to either be on an iPhone, in Webkit, or possibly on a Webkit-enabled device like some of the fancy Nokia phones. It's really fun to be developing for the iPhone. First ...

Um, yeah, you know

British podcaster Paul Boag had me on his show for a nice little interview the other day. We discussed the user interface of Digg, enabling people to participate in a community site, developing for the iPhone, and lots of other interesting bits of interface design. He's very good at putting his subjects ...

Presenting at FOWA

A few weeks ago, I got the chance to present at the Future of Web Apps conference in London, England. I was talking about interpreting user feedback on websites like Digg and Pownce. Thanks a lot to Ryan, Mel, and the rest of the Carson team for having me! | View | Upload your own If you haven't ...
