Internet Famous on Blogebrity
As the New York Times put it about podcasting, “everyone is famous for 15 people” I’m sourcing Mitch Ratcliffe here because he links to the NYT article now stuck behind their registration system and because he makes an important point about every medium creating a modicum of fame. A few people break through that noise [...]

Andrew Baron on Rocketboom
My “must-see-TV” experience still comes in through the Comcast cable jacked-into the side of my house, but you can’t find many of my favorites on any of Comcast’s channels (yet). One of those shows I can’t live without is Rocketboom. The sharp wit and quirky delivery of host Amanda Congdon provides an entertaining update of [...]
A Song About My Crap Underwear
I don't know who “CrittendenIV” is, but a few months ago, I really offended his (or her?) sensibilities when I did an audio satire of the media's sensationalized hurricane coverage. Methinks he took those words a bit too seriously, but that's to be understood. I'm a very, very, very, very serious guy – and I [...]
Don’t Try This at Home
This video is not for the faint of heart. I don't recommend trying it at home, or at work (for that matter).
Unperfectly Cromulent
Nobody wants to be told that their baby is ugly, especially when it takes a village to raise that child. Xeni reported the cold, hard truth about Wikipedia, and hardcore Wikipedians probably didn’t want to hear none of that. I’d need more fingers and toes to count up how many outrageous errors I’ve found on [...]
Attack of the Magazines
After talking to a few random people, I figured out the following: Some magazines now use articles as a weapon, unleashing swarms of critics on their rivals. The print-driven haters have formidable allies amplifying their tirades to a potential worldwide audience of 900 million. Attack magazines are but a sliver of the rapidly shrinking periodicalsphere. [...]
Google AdSense Competitor – Comparison Shopping Done Right
I never thought I'd write that kind of title, but I'm finding it to be very much true. As I noted in Lockergnome tonight, this new eMiniMalls thing is pretty freakin' spectacular for content sites. Yes, I know that Yahoo has an AdSense competitor – but this is really something different, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend [...]
Thursday 27 October 2005
We’re doing another GoToMeeting live broadcast tonight, Thursday October 27, 2005. Chris is demoing the new IconWorkshop. Andrew Michael Baron, creative genius behind the video blog RocketBoom, will be talking about what makes RocketBoom successful and how you can get started in video blogging. Nick Douglas (aka decafsilicon) from Blogebrity will be joining us via [...]
Ponzi Airs Chris’s Dirty Laundry – Literally
Chris and Ponzi are back with another real life episode. Apparently Chris still hasn’t done the dishes. To make matters worse, Ponzi doesn’t rinse. And if you thought you knew everything about Chris, you haven’t heard Ponzi’s description of his taste in underwear. Before the skivvies pile too high around the unwashed plates and saucers, [...]
