The Everyday Paradoxes

Ever notice the small things that people do or say that suggest deep inner unresolved conflict? For example, people who declare that government should be doing everything possible to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, then complain about $4 a gallon gasoline that has the effect of reducing fossil fuel consumption, while at the same […]

Hiogi Q&A Community

Hiogi is a pretty interesting service, basically a Q&A site based in Berlin that gives stuff that isn’t worth much to people who successfully answer submitted questions. Lot’s of growth and apparently a hot company right now.

Wish I could tell you more but the site is in english and all the Q&A is in German […]

Facebook Suckage Syndrome

I guess Facebook really is just for college kids to poke themselves on. Oh well.

[From Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger » Blog Archive Facebook continues to suck «]

Yeah, pretty much. I don’t know anyone doing “serious stuff” on Facebook, and vampires and food fights are so last year. This is a […]

Marvel Moves To Shut Down TechCrunch Iron Man Screening

UPDATE: Mike writes that this has all been worked out. Apparently it was Oracle who was the bad actor, pun intended, in this movie drama for they are hosting a similar screening and didn’t like the TechCrunch competition. The lesson learned, if any, is that it pays to aim first before firing a shot, had […]

Newspaper Audience Decline Again, No End Till Zero

This is hardly surprising or unprecedented. Newspaper’s print audience is literally dying off and they are pulling the plug on all the free copies they give out, all of which means circulation numbers are terrible, again.

$4 a startling reality, how about $4.39 I paid today in SF. Longtime readers will recall that I started calling for reductions in gasoline and diesel taxes as early as May of 2006.

“Once a nightmare scenario, $4 gasoline is now a very real possibility of becoming a summer staple,” the letter stated. “In […]

Bolivian President on Earth Day

Erik Estrada, er I mean Bolivian President Evo Morales wants the UN to scrap capitalism as a way of saving the planet… I guess he believes that a central committee of senior party officials should determine the allocation of resources for the collective good. Oh yeah, that was tried and we got Chernobyl.

Opening […]

Volume or Weight?

hey, you put a Spinal Tap reference in something, I’ll blog it.

After staring at me, and I think wondering if he could shoot me, the screener gave an answer right our of Spinal Tap: “But it says 4 ounces.” (But it goes to 11!)[From Megan McArdle (April 18, 2008) - Interesting point about […]

Oh Yeah, Everyone Can See This

Funny moment in the NewsGator board meeting yesterday when @karlgco had the sudden realization that everyone could see the 3 way tweet chat between her, @bfeld and myself.

I think there is something in here about how we have become desensitized to the notion of public email. What’s also interesting is how I have collapsed down […]
