  • Going Feral

    While reading Jori Finkel’s piece in the New York Times on Machine Project’s LACMA invasion, I was struck by something that Margaret Wertheim said: I don’t know of any city other than L.A. with so many feral groups. Now while she was referring to the Los Angeles art scene, this sort of applies to the tech scene here as well.…

  • Nice Day For A Vote

    Last night’s rain gave way to beautiful, puffy clouds and a vibrant blue sky. The mood at my local polling place was great and everyone seemed excited to make their opinions heard. Even the people who had to file a provisional ballot didn’t complain at the extra hoops they needed to jump thru. If you…

  • Tacos For Obama

    I like Obama for a lot of reasons — but when it really comes down to it, I’ll always be for a candidate who has a firm pro taco stance.

  • I Reckon

    This Gnarls Barkley cover of Radiohead’s “Reckoner” totally manages to make up for the fact that I didn’t really care for “The Odd Couple”.

  • Can’t Stop The Hustle

    Inspired by what Merlin is doing with 43 Folders, I’m taking a step back from what I set out to do with Preshrunk. Yeah, I know that I just relaunched it. No, I’m not talking about walking away from it.  It feels too good to be back to just up and stop again. What I’ve realized tho is…

  • History Hacker

    Ever since I’d heard about History Hacker, I’ve been geeked about it. Now, maker extraordinaire and super rad video blogger Bre Pettis, is getting a crack at the big leagues when his show airs on The History Channel this Friday at 8 PM. The pilot involves Tesla and his back and forth feud with Edison…

  • Minor Threat

    Sir Ben Kingsley playing Ian MacKaye?  Why the hell not? Normally I’d say “that’s a stretch” — but the whole shaved head/fully bald thing actually sort of makes for inspired casting.

  • Getting Some tr.im

    While there are a lot of URL shortening sites out there, I’ve actually grown quite fond of tr.im recently.  It’s a little thin on preferences right now, but there are three things that set it apart from the other services out there:  Automatic Twitter and Identi.ca Posting Whenever you shorten a URL — thru the bookmarklet or their site —  tr.im…

  • Bring The Ruckus

    The game has changed a lot since I launched Preshrunk in late 2004.  According to Andy at Hide Your Arms, there’s over 150 t-shirt blogs out there now — and I’ll be damned if I can actually find more than a handful that are actually readable and worth following.  Granted, there are a few “good…

  • Dark Knight PSA: Herpes

    If you only watch one video out of the Dark Knight PSA series on YouTube, make it this one.
