Jay-Z wrote the hook, but Social Media made it a hit...

Gotta admit – it doesn’t get much dorkier than this. I don’t know what’s worse – that I like this song better than the original, or that I actually know the references/faces shown up on screen (even without a corporate logo behind them).
Thanks to Jay-Z/Rhianna – you will find yourself humming “New Dork” for the [...]


Enlightening… And Frightening.

Enlightening... And Frightening.

I suppose they could have just formed a big vial of poison, or a skull and crossbones… But I think you get the picture. Count ‘em up – how many Google services do you have and use that you KNOW about?
You don’t even want to know about all the stuff they know that you [...]

You may, or may not, have heard about Google going around, tantalizing people all over the US with super-fast free internet for some sort of testing. I tend to think they are attempting to dig a little further into everyone’s lives… As if Gmail, Docs and gCal aren’t enough – they also want direct [...]

What’s the buzz about Buzz?

What's the buzz about Buzz?

Still not sure about this one Google. So far, you’re 0 for 2 for me between Wave and Buzz. I know what you are trying to do… But don’t think you’ve got it just right yet. Instead, with Buzz, you’ve just made it easier to either be more invasive, or truly diabolical.
Yes, I said [...]


I don’t buy the iPad until I’m certain I can use it to thwart terrorists should I find myself in an enclosed environment with them.

Apple Releases the iPad!

Apple Releases the iPad!

Ohhh… MadTV – you were yearssss ahead of your time. Who woulda thunk that all those years ago, Apple would have gone ahead and named their product with the OBVIOUS connotations? Oh well… Let’s relive a little bit of 1994 and the now-cancelled MadTV!
[Thanks Molly for the assist!]

Contrary to what Google may have been telling you, we weren’t going to rip out your virtual babies, eat their virtual heads and spit out their virtual carcasses. It seems as though there are some people out there with nothing much to do but hack accounts, and exploit vulnerabilities. And I mean that [...]


Camcorder Piracy FOILED!

Camcorder Piracy FOILED!

According to today’s Variety, movie theaters have finally come up with a way to foil people bringing camcorders into movie theatres.
In other news, camcorders were invented in 1982.
According to the report, theaters in 2010 will finally take a bold step to eliminating camcorder piracy by emitting an infrared signal from behind the movie screen, blotting [...]


Chevrolet introduces 240mph car. Interesting timing.

Five months after GM’s doing so bad the Government has to step in – they release superfuturecarthousand?
It gets 200 more miles per gallon than a Prius. HuzaWhat?
So was this technology invented in March, or was it more of a June/July thing? I wonder how long this would’ve sat in the back room if GM hadn’t [...]

Google Trends: Analysis and Overview

It appears, that over the last 30 days, there has been a significant interest in the search term “Michael Jackson”, however, during the same period, there have been 0 searches for “Sandy Marshall”. In further review, we are thinking about posting something on Twitter about Sandy to see if that has any affect.
Thank you.


Hey Sandy, here’s that web research you wanted.

I’ve always considered myself ahead of the curve when it comes to technology. We had an Atari 2600 and a Betamax when I was growing up. My first laptop had a ‘c’ after the product code to indicate that the monitor was color. More recently, I have proudly used ‘google’ as a verb and [...]

As promised, as you can see here in slide 37 of 93, “Play” is definitely more popular than “Kid”. As a result, I strongly recommend we revive the “Play House Party Water Slide” Project we shelved a few years back.
Now is the time for his return, and in this economy, our return.  We will [...]

<Public Service Announcement So Pay Attention> Here’s a little request from me to you. Would you mind just coming over here for a minute? Sit down. Can I get you something? No? Ok.
Listen. I think it’s great that you finally entered the 21st century, put away the VCR, and [...]

I swe@r, I'm not @ doucheb@g

Just a heads up, if anyone receives a text message from me in which I use “@” instead of “A.” It’s not because I’m hip, it’s because the “A” is actually broken on my phone, making it impossible to tell anyone in a text that the “A” is broken on my phone. But it would [...]

No bits, I think I might get a pager

Well, okay, it’d be a huge bit. I think I’m gonna splurge on the 9.95 per month via Direct Page (check it out, really — they don’t even charge for pagers anymore). I’d like to get a pager, put it on a biz card, and then give people my pager number and then [...]


Facebook 2.Whatever

Facebook 2.Whatever

Last week, I hated the new look of FB. Now I’m starting to like it. It seems to operate more like a professional webpage. Or at least that’s how it hits me. What do I know. It seems like they were wanting to attract more folks from LinkedIn — and to minimize the necessity [...]
