New Metablog
What's better than sliced bread? This.
RIP: E-mail Marketing
I'm putting together an invitation-only seminar on the death of e-mail marketing and am currently seeking partnerships and a local place to present it to people (in the Bay Area). Let me know if you can or want to be involved – or if you can deliver a specific location within a month. Thanks!
Stinky Bits
A new tool is making the rounds. SharpMT looks semi-wonderful on the surface, but I've yet to get it to work with this blog. We've been fighting mail server issues for the past couple of days, so I haven't had much time to fiddle with it. And tomorrow, I'm off to Vegas to meet up [...]
Partyrolling
In between my deviled egg binges, Tantek demanded that I put together another semi-comprehensive list of the people who went to the blogger birthday bash last night. Since he was kind enough to bring one of SF's hottest DJ's (Amber) with him, I figured I owed him one. Cheyenne, who has taken a liking to [...]
Free Moblogs
Some have said that moblogging (moble blogging) is the “next big thing.” Imagine being able to send a message directly from your mobile device and having it posted to the Web instantaneously. Cool? Yeah, and Text America is handing out free accounts; they just want a lot of people to submit feedback to make it [...]
Like Peanut Butter
If you pronounce GIF with a hard “G,” you don't deserve to download these MP3s.
Hate My Font?
Okay, I finally caved. If you don't like my handwriting font automatically loading in Internet Explorer, you can use an alternative entry point for my blog. It's top secret. My RSS feed(s) will remain the same for now, as will the templates for archives, comments, and trackbacks. I may continue to tweak the new page [...]
Outlook Killer
I've been complaining about Outlook's shortcomings for a while now, but it's the only usable PIM (as far as I'm concerned) for the Windows platform. Jake switched to Entourage many moons ago, but I'm far from ready to migrate my entire digital lifestyle to OS X. Enter Chandler, a promising personal information manager from the [...]
Afternoon Delight
Home is where you hang your barf bag. For some strange reason, I think Veronica's dogs pushed my allergy buttons yesterday. A small headache evolved into all-out nausea by the time I landed in Oaklame. I had a great time in the burbs of LA, and I believe I'll return at some point in the [...]
Burbank!
Peet's in my hand. Flannel on my back. Flamingo on the lawn. Dog at my feet. Clouds in the sky. Friend at my side. Water in my glass. Slim Jim in my pocket mouth. Adventure straight ahead.
Flying South
I'm headed off to LA on Monday (possibly staying through Tuesday) to shoot a pilot for “The Stingy and Battery Show.” It's sure to be a hit. Seriously, please hold my calls.
Lamerz for Dummies
(1) Misspell words that render your post ironic. For instance, enter “retared” instead of “retarded.” (2) Remember: the number of idle threats made is inversely proportional to the size of your genitals. (3a) Use numbers in place of letters whenever possible. (3b) Make liberal use of the letter “z.” (4) Employ the word “gay” in [...]
Fat Pipe Dream
An old friend just sent me this note: “I live on the country-side of the northern part of the Netherlands. In this area, within 3 years, there will be places with an Internet connection of 26 terabytes per second. That is, I believe, 300.000 times [the speed of] ASDL. I have a lot of contacts [...]
Dancing My Pants Off
New MP3s for you to groove to on our third “No Pants Friday” – Cadence, Sean Altman, and Da Vinci's Notebook.
I'm Gettin' a What?
I love my Dell Inspiron 8100 so much! Just before Gnomedex II, its screen crapped out (which sent me into a nightmarish tech support spiral). The power adapter went belly up a few months ago – and last night, the hard drive decided to take a nose dive without permission. I tried feeding it some [...]
