There isn’t a single offender that put me over the top, but I don’t think I can bear to listen to another podcast in which three or four people sit around and talk out of their asses about things that they don’t actually know anything about or cared to research at all before sitting down to record.
The more I hear the phrase “user-generated content,” the more I’m convinced it’s doing more harm than good.
Running away with nothing but the clothes on my back and the iPhone in my pocket.
Instead of having one status mirrored across many sites, it would be better to have all of my different statuses aggregated into a single point, where I can see at a glance what I’m doing.
Replay videos of a three-year-old game that was completely ignored by the press and didn’t sell peanuts? No problem.
A roundabout way of getting to a very minor complaint I have with Pownce’s desktop app.
Maybe we just need a little push to bring games and Ajax together.
Answers to some questions about Twitter.
A game designer sneaks into an conference full of web developers.
“First, [it] provided me a source for continuous escapism; second, it gave me a never-failing sense of accomplishment; and third, it allowed me a platform for on-going identity construction and reconstruction.”
My subscription list is creeping back up towards the 200 mark, which means it’s time to cull the herd again. When did reading become such hard work?
We’ve reached the point where people go around creating web sites expressly for the purpose of slagging on those who dare to stick their necks out and have public lives, and then turn around and act surprised when people use these sites to spread fear and perpetrate violence.

It’s really cold out, and my mind wanders.
YouTube’s breakout series has actually gotten more interesting since it dropped the pretense of reality.
I’m more excited about the Wii Internet Channel than I should be.
Now I can have my cake and watch it, too, even when I’m away from home. My parents have broadband access.
Time Magazine chose “You” as its Person of the Year.
Just a quick test of YouTube.
Now I can recapture my lost childhood and look into the future of broadcasting at the same time — how convenient!
It should probably bother me to discover that my listening preferences overlap so heavily with those of a 24-year-old Colombian woman, or with the entire readership of Cat and Girl.
Explain to me again why I bought a PSP? It wasn’t for the RSS reader, I’ll tell you that.
Yes, I know “podcastosphere” isn’t a word. At least, I hope it isn’t.
I enjoy stumbling onto signs that the Web is more than just a playground for the kinds of people who like to tinker with document object models and CMC paradigms. Case in point: those postcards that sit in little stacks at the coffee shop, next to the alt-weekly newspapers.
The Web is no longer this new and shiny thing that I’ve just discovered, but is now enough of an established institution that it can produce “where are they now?” stories.
It seems like the Huffington Post is banking on the idea that if they get enough famous people to write for them, people will have no choice but to read at least some of their posts.
The whole “bloggers vs. journalists” debate feels insanely remote to me, but it’s not hard to understand why it often seems to be the only topic of discussion.
I had totally forgotten that today was to be the “official” launch date for the site until I heard a plug for it on the radio.
