Social Software ideas

While social software may be the internet revolution du jour among venture capitalists, as a user I'm still waiting for the killer social software app that lives up to all the market hype. Recently I've been thinking about how the current crop of options could be improved upon, or at the very least, how they …

Half-baked

I spent the past few days sitting in some airports which means I got a lot of writing done in the downtime. I jotted down a bunch of things that have been bouncing around my head regarding social software, some half-baked, some fully baked. I really like the map idea and think it could be …

Thanks Philip

This month marks Philip Greenspun’s tenth year publishing on the web. Sometime in 1995, I stumbled across http://photo.net/~philg and proceeded to learn quite a bit about web publishing, photography, storytelling on the web, and eventually how databases and collaborative community spaces are built. There are three or four people that shaped my learning about web …

Every great movie ends with an awards ceremony

After four tries, I finally got to see Return of the King today. It seems living in a small town of 30k people that only has one cineplex showing the movie on a single screen makes for many sold out shows. The showing I caught was turned up really loud and at several points I …

MoCo Love

MoCoLoco looks pretty slick and bookmark-worthy. It also reminds me of bryan‘s long since dead monolot.

The best thing ever, now with monkeys

My favorite song from Johnny Cash’s last cover songs disc was definitely Desperado. And now, a flash artist/fan has made a video for it that is loaded with monkeys. I didn’t think there was any way to improve on the song, but throwing a few chimps on horses just proved me wrong. This is even …

Good work, soldier

This is pretty cool: MetaFilter in Iraq. Jeremy also posted his reactions to being in on the Saddam raid last week, with the rest of the story to come.

Extraordinary, not ordinary

For the second time in my life, today I felt what it was like to read an email sent by someone no longer living. It’s an odd feeling to know they are in your address book but that any email sent their way will go unanswered. You can also look back at the last 2 …

Lame, lame, lame

I’ve met, read, and been interviewed by some lazy reporters in my time, but I’m pretty impressed by John Leo’s display of ineptitude. He wrote an article about how the left thinks Bush is Hitler and scoured a few site looking for supporting evidence. One of them is MetaFilter. Here is his entire quote: Another …

Putting the ‘fun’ in fungi

Just got back from what was easily the best meal I’ve had in Oregon at the Joel Palmer House. Jack, the founder, is a renowned mushroom expert going way back and searches the local forests for truffles, porcinis, and chanterelles, then serves them up in his meals. He captured the essence of mushrooms in every …
