I’ve given up on tumblr until I get three stars on every screen of Angry Birds. Don’t act so surprised.

Look, I’m trying to avoid sounding like I want to make sweet love to Steve Jobs, but I think that a lot of this antenna thing has gotten really turned around and that people are taking a sort of glass houses attitude and going after Apple. Is it really a big problem? The numbers seem to indicate that, from a customer perspective, it’s not. I personally haven’t dropped a single...

stevewhitaker: not the problem itself. (I’m done. I’ll shut up now. I’m disappointed so far.) I agree that it’s a reaction to the press, but this issue is very much about the press.

Crap, my bad. Shira Lazar is in Los Angeles. I had taken that screenshot early today and didn’t post it because I wanted to make sure that she wasn’t in L.A. instead of New York. Then I went ahead and posted it anyway. The newsroom threw me off. I see a newsroom and, unless it’s Wolf Blitzer, I think of New York. And that expression? Yes, it happens plenty in NYC. It’s not...

Derek Powazek’s one-strike rule for Twitter →

guillee: If you @reply to me on Twitter and it’s a stupid joke, or a dumb retort, or something you could have just asked Google, there’s an extremely good chance that you’ll do it again. And why sign up for a service that annoys me every time I look at it? And if my choice is between knocking you down in front of everyone […], or simply removing myself from your attention, I think it’s more...

Summer Cold Makes Me Feel the Opposite of Fine

I was hopeful yesterday that my sneezing and runny nose were just allergies. No dice. So I’m home today actually wishing I was at work. That’s how I know I’m sick. We don’t have orange juice but for some reason my wife picked up grapefruit juice for the first time this year. I like grapefruit juice. But, see, my tastebuds and throat are all wack so the juice tastes like...

It was brought to my attention that the Ziploc bag full of quarters I found yesterday appears to have some leftover “oregano” in the bottom of it. I would like to confirm for you whether it truly is an herbal substance or it is, in fact, just a reflection from the flash. However, I’m so fucking high right now.

"A Reader's Manifesto" by B.R. Myers →

I just shared this link with swamibooba but thought others might find it interesting, too. As strange as it sounds whenever I read it back to myself, I have a great respect for the art of criticism. Pauline Kael, Lester Bangs, Anthony Lane — they are writers whose particular gift is for social observation through the lens of what others have created. They are passionate about what they create...
