Last week I threw out the idea of a documentary club on Twitter and my blog. Like a book club for docs. The idea generated a lot of interest, not just from friends but also on IndieWire’s Docsider blog and even on IMDB’s Indie Hit List
(I didn’t know IMDB blogged about things).
For those interested, [...]
I don’t know about you, but I’m completely fascinated with BoingBoing’s deletion of nearly 100 posts (and even some comments) that were in any way related to the San Francisco blogger and sex columnist Violet Blue. Silicon Valley gossip site Valleywag first broke the story last Wednesday (with a very speculative/juicy follow up here) which [...]
With the Apple’s highly anticipated World Wide Developers Conference starting today, the question on everyone’s mind is, of course, “When Will Twitter Crash?”. In a recent blog post, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said that Twitter expects site traffic to increase up to ten-times it’s daily use as real time news starts to leak from the [...]
This may be the first of a new form of internet piracy. Darren Di Lieto, of Apefluff and The Little Chimp Society, has recently written about a new book called “Colorful Illustrations 93°C” that illegally reprints the art of dozens of well known illustrators. Furthermore, it appears that the bulk of the book’s content is [...]
If you ever find yourself wondering if a website (like youtube, amazon, etc) is down just not working for you or if it’s down for everyone, you can check out DownForEveryoneOrJustForMe.com & enter your sites url to check the status.
The only thing I’m wondering now is what happens if you want to know if DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com [...]
I have a new hobsession (obsession/hobby), it’s watching the Crate Digger Death-match votes as they come in. I tend to keep a tab open and check the current CDD poll status as I’m waiting for another page to load. It’s been exciting, Bomarr had an early lead, but D-Form has had a slow, but steady [...]
I’m back in SF from the National Yo-Yo Contest in Chico CA. I didn’t compete this year, which could explain why it was one of my favorite NYYCs in years. The freehand routines were great, as were most of the other divisions, but I honestly didn’t spend too much time watching the freestyles.
Aside from trying [...]
to Nationals, sign up for a Twitter account, and let’s keep each other notified on the happenings in Chico via text messaging on your cell phone, IM, or PDA.
Twitter is a web based web site that makes it easy to communicate with your friends. The basic idea is you have 140 characters to be able [...]
This Wednesday I’m going to start a TwitterWave.
What’s Twitter? It’s a social network built around the question “What are you doing?”. Users post updates (usually via their cell phones or laptops) using 140 characters or less.
