“For every product sold on your website, you earn 50% of the profit…and your customers never leave your site!” Neat!

Why bother taking notes when someone else is doing it for me? ;)

Just trying to keep track of the photos from the weekend. I know by the end of the weekend it’ll be pretty full of Scott Beale’s photos, but maybe I’ll make my way into one…

WordCamp WiFi
I probably could have put this on the last post, but I’ve just gotta say that the WiFi here is really quite nice. Much nicer than the conference WiFi that I’m used to, actually. Hopefully it stays nice thru the day.

Travel Sick
After spending seven and a half hours on the road — three of which were in LA traffic I might add1 — I’m set up on the fold out at Frazier’s downright palatial Oaktown lair.
Tomorrow is WordCamp, where Frazier and I will will be representing Hipster Mafia2. What that means is him and I are going to go to assorted talks and I’m going to give out business cards and act like a wanker3.
If you see me in the hall and want to say hello or throw rotten fruit, walk over and do so.
I’ll try to update a few times tomorrow as I sit in the sessions — but you know how it goes with me and promising to make updates, right? ;)
- OC to SF by way of Culver City is not something I’d call fun. But that 30 mile, one and a half hour detour netted me $130 and helped me get rid of my Sidekick II.
- That basically means Preshrunk — but we might have another property someday soon.
- Hopefully Arrington or Calacanis don’t magically appear and out-wanker me. That’d make me sad.

The Word – Wikiality
Update: Oh, shit… Apparently this little segment got Stephen banned from Wikipedia.

If you want to know why I’ve been scarce on the internet for most of July, here’s part of the reason why. Frankly, working for a company this transparent is really nice.

The State – Monkey Torture
I am so glad that folks have been uploading old The State skits to YouTube so I can show people like Frazier (who is way too young to have caught this when it aired on MTV) that they were the shit.

It’s way beta (i.e. the prefs are in Japanese, it’s a bit buggy) but the review I read of it made it seem way too nice not to try out.

Pitchfork Friendly Band Names, Part Tres
Next time you want to out cool your one friend who brags about downloading the Gnarls Barkley album “months before it was released here in the U.S.”, try dropping any of these fake band names into a conversation:
- The Iron-On Letters
- Scotland Yard
- Cancer Omega
- Kerouac
- Burst Into Flames
Oh, they’re good — but have you heard The Iron-On Letters? Fucking transcendent. I saw them open for Colin Meloy when he was doing his solo Morrissey acoustic thing a while back. I’m pretty sure they’ve got a MySpace.
I guarantee it’ll work almost every time… Well, at least until your friend Googles whatever band you name check and finds this post. *shrug*
