5 Reasons Woofer is a Contrarian Joke Gone Wrong. →
Reasons This Seems Stupid to Me:
1) They should’ve called it TL;DR or overshare.com
2) If you’re writing something that is too long to fit into twitter: Blog it. Hell, Tumblr, works like Twitter just with full length posts. You can follow people etc. No arbitrarily placed minimum word counts. Plus you can send out custom tweets for your posts.
3) People already have an attitude...
WatchI actually giggled at how many of these things have already come true in laptops and iPhones/smart phones already.
Take a look at the portrait CRT behind the dude in his office. When’s the last time you saw one of those?!
PS - nice yellow jacket, lady.
PPS - “Information superhighway”. I forgot about that term.

Finally! a clean Gmail menubar for Mac
I’ve been using a menu bar app called Notifr for a few months now. It has growl support and everything, so I’ve been ok with it. The UI is passable and quite frankly, I couldn’t find anything I liked better. This morning, while clicking around in 10.6, mike9r posted a tweet recommending a new app called Notify. I downloaded it and loved it right away. I mean, how could you not...

My favorite video game is officially something I can play at work after hours when I’m stuck watching progress bars for hours on end. This is a trumph.

Seriously cut the crap.
What the hell is wrong with you? Do you really like comic sans? What’s with the clouds? Do you just like sending attachments for no reason at all? Oh no, you’re right it looks professional. Now here’s your lunch, don’t forget your helmet.
my cave, let me show you it
My studio. It is my Cat’s Lair, it is the Hall of Doom, it is 221B Baker St.
It is also my dinner table.
I should get serious cred though, since mine is actually underground, thus more of a cave than anything

Now THIS is a cave. →
I’m telling you guys this cave stuff is awesome. I’d really like to see yours. It doesn’t have to be intricate or high tech. I just want to see where you create, tinker or dismantle.
Too many tweets spoil the stream...err.. something...
I thoroughly enjoy seeing different perspectives and ideas represented in tweets from the people that I follow. If I am following you, chances are you post great content that I actually care about the majority of the time. I don’t follow people with no personality or wit. That being said I’ve noticed a lot of people doing what I suppose would be called “tweetblasts”.

Dealbreaker has run out of content →
I started following dealbreaker a while ago and at first it was kind of funny. Now it’s just sad. All the original content ran out shortly after and they’ve finally run out of the clichéd and contrived hipster standard shit too. Now it’s just a bunch of really stupid and pointless rants that have nothing to do with the original intent of the blog. It’s too bad. A great...
Tr.im didn't die, it was fakin' →
Not that I ever used tr.im but don’t you think it’s kind of a bad strategy to tell everyone you’re going offline and then say “just kidding guys, we’re fine”?
Seems like they told everyone that the reason they were shutting down was that they never figured out how to monetize. Then, after reading all the blog posts on how they could’ve monetized, they...

LOST is available on Netflix streaming! →
Considering the first 4 seasons of LOST lived on an external hard drive that crashed on me. I think it’s pretty obvious that coupled with the fact that my xbox 360 is running the preview of the updates coming to xbox live this makes me extremely happy. Netflix on the xbox 360 is now fully awesome in the new xbox live update.

When do you use Twitter or Facebook? →
This seems to really nail the key differences between twitter and facebook. Anyone who says the status on facebook is the same as twitter should read this. In short: Facebook: Communicate with people you already know in various ways.
Twitter: Find people you don’t know yet and learn about them and the things they are experts on. These people on occasion can be converted into facebook...
