Ladies and Germs, there is an answer. A solution. Not a Cure, but a Fixx.
From their smash album, Reach the Beach, I give you “One Thing Leads To Another,” by The Fixx. But wait, there’s more! The poster disabled embedding, but if you go to the youtubes, you can also watch “Saved By […]

State of the Union 2008 →
Driving to work this morning, I listened to a bit on NPR about two previous final State of the Union addresses. The host was interviewing the speech writers responsible for the final addresses by presidents Reagan and Clinton. Reagan was a thematic president, the one contended. Clinton was less so, went the […]

@joeyGibson I actually installed and checked Joost out. If you like watching tv, I suppose it’s decent. “Neat” at least.
@mcnitt RAIN? In January? If we had that in Pittsburgh, it would be cause for AlGorian panic.
@joeyGibson I do, however, find their list of reasons kind of entertaining, because they are so uncompelling to me - so foreign.
@joeyGibson i don’t even watch tv, man, and i find no compelling reason to “turn your computer into a tv.” that strikes me as an awful idea.
@JesseHambley time to write a bot that posts to the CL Missed Connections board. ;)
@joeyGibson apparently these are the reasons… http://tinyurl.com/28bckk compelling??
@alex_landefeld Oh yeah, B&A is a great site. It’s slowed down in recent months, but is a solid resource.
@mcnitt Keats and Yates are on your side…
@arielwaldman :) love your writing, esp on advertising. would love to get you involved on a related satire/critique project.
@arielwaldman well my god, this is just for you then: http://tinyurl.com/28ed68
Visio just bent me over and socked it to me REALLY hard. I want revenge. All ideas welcome. I mean it.
No willing partners on my quest to get revenge against M$?

@igierard Yeah, GMAIL came back for me at about 8:50.
WTF @gmail - gmail down for me. GMAIL. DOWN. That’s about the 2nd time that’s happened for me since it launched. Grrrrr.
@arielwaldman Hopefully not because @mcnitt committed you to digg my Depeche Mode videos. You’re totally off the hook there, ya know…

Bad Ass 80’s Music Videos - Week 2 →
After I forewarned Brian McNitt that today’s 80’s Music Video was to be Camouflage’s breakout hit “The Great Commandment,” he chastised me via twitter:
@gmailgeoff you started the depeche mode revival. why not stay w/it? post http://tinyurl.com/2vx666 and @arielwaldman will dig you for it.
Thusly I’ll acquiesce to his exhortation: The full 8:00 minute original 1984 video […]
@CaliLewis I don’t know Jakes, but I grew up on Jack’s Burger House complete with cumin & garlic salt covered fries. Yummm.
@igierard what time? I might be game.
@mcnitt the bolshoi??????????
@mcnitt or falco???
@mcnitt decisions, decisions. 80’s thursday: pat benatar? new order? camouflage? the smiths?
@mcnitt if you say “pleased to twitter you,” to a minor, can you be arrested?
@tparish thanks for the tokbox tweet - interesting that it’s embeddable from any webpage. next up: software webcam! ;)
@Bob1326 TURKISH superman?? Awesome, thanks. Enjoy NYC.
@dburka Thanks for the stickers and the ubercool buttons I got yesterday! Rad to the max. Rock on Pownce. See you in Austin.
@mcnitt I think it’s darned close to a buy, actually - and currently probably fairly valued. It needed to fall to earth. That’s GOOD.
@mcnitt @kevinrose Right. That was the bubble inflating.
@kevinrose If it goes to pre-iPhone hype levels, it might make a great recoup-via-purchase target. :)
@alex_landefeld welcome to my ridiculous timeline, and welcome to Elliance. :)
Pownce goes public →
No longer in private Beta, Pownce opened its virtual doors to the whole wide world last night. The desktop app is revised and improved, even though it sports a bug or two to be squashed. Congrats to Pownce developer Leah Culver and all three cofounders (Leah, Daniel, and Kevin) on the successful […]
@ConversationAge I pay 23/mo for mine.
@chrisbaskind Cruel & contains truth. Sadly same can be said for Kucinich :(
