Re: DIY: How to Set Up a Bass Guitar

I'm a very seasoned pro, always had a tech at my disposal. Tried this on a new-ish, expensive hand-made 5-string and was BLOWN away at how easy and kinda fun it was. All your tips worked perfectly. Folks, this really works, do follow along. Thanks!

Personalization in ad creation and delivery - should help publishers further define their true audiences, and thus further refine their offerings. Thus, there can be a virtuous circle where the intelligence that drives ad syndication feeds into the product offering, which itself further drives greater intelligence that drives ad syndication.

Your point about feeling as though your content is good enough and distinct enough to charge for (even i you don't) is spot on. The Guardian's model of inviting the financial participation of like-minded folks feels like the best-in-class way of doing that so far.

This was a great post, thanks.

Such a great idea, introducing your daughter to someone extraordinary who is just like her...to be a reminder that she can be (and probably is already) extraordinary beyond her appearance. Thanks (from a brand new father of twins) for a lovely article!

This gets to the heart of what ails so many large CPGs - operating in the mobile-powered world of the consumer, not in the decades-old world of stasis. Would love to see how they accomplished this.

No basses? I should have sent in my 1988 P-bass with jazz pickup in the bridge position AND my 2012 5-string Precision with a Nordstrand humbucker in the bridge position. We kept the 2-control look by having the Tone be the Tone and having the volume be a volume plus a raised position to take the humbucker out of phase to get my that Ricky sound...lovely but of work, totally understated in execution.

Brands can load images of their range of products for comparison...which is to say nothing of the potential for adult sites...

Evernote has the same thing...called "Simplify Formatting" and it makes my life SO wonderful, with all the cutting and pasting I do...do I get a beer too? ;-)

I would like to see this chart historically with amounts corrected for relative value. Has it always been more or less this way? What makes it "worse" or "better" than before? Is this perception or true reality? (My inner economist is buzzing here...)

This rocks. Hit me up for deets on Florence and Rome, I've burned many, many days in both places.

Tried them all (except the Boss) and still for me the best sound comes from the Xotic SP...it's tiny (which is my only complaint) but it sings and sails, but it also wails. Makes my Strat scream and my Gretsch a dream...whoa, that was an impromptu rhyme...

Luckily you are not alone in your well-worded opinion of this nonsense...Stephen Colbert took him to town on The Colbert Report earlier this week. It's here (in case you haven't seen it): http://www.colbertnation.co...

Also bears mentioning that my fiancée is a new runner. She did her first 5k in March (LA Marathon weekend) and just nailed her first 10k last month. She had never run in her life, but now she - like you - is an athlete.

I was truly saddened to hear of the family's second loss in such rapid succession. Our very best to you and your family.

Re: Traveling via Global Entry as a Pre-Checked Traveler

TonyCultEx — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 10:16:16 -0000

I have had both TSA PreCheck and Global Entry/Nexus for years now (brag brag) and I would not and could not go back to what I had to deal with before...I will sometimes move my travel plans to be different than those of co-workers so I don't have to politely wait for them to make it through customs (we go between NYC and Montréal a lot). Best $100 I ever spent.

Thanks for this post. It's files under "Arts, technology but it goes way, way beyond that to help us see the future we live in. I referenced it on my blog as well.

Re: 5 Things to Look for in the Future of the CMS

TonyCultEx — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:19:32 -0000

Indeed, SharePoint is an impressive enterprise-level application, as are many of the larger-scale offerings that are in the same family (Adobe CQ5 being another one). A skilled implementation expert can bend and shape just about any CMS to extend its capabilities. It's not that these features don't exist, but that the CMS of the future should in an out-of-the-box way support the changed context and behaviors of today's organizations as they pertain to data and content origination, organization, presentation, and consumption. The current crop are adaptations from an old centralized creation model. Wouldn't it be cool if, moving forward, CMSs were architected to reflect the way businesses need to operate today? Thanks very much for your comments, it's a topic that I am particularly keen on and your thoughts are very well-received.

Thanks very much! As we continue to see more and more evolution in user behaviors, we will need to see more and more crossover of data services across the enterprise platforms that our clients use. Stay tuned, there's more to come.

Cranky old man! ;-)

Seriously, how can one effectively provide directional guidance if one has never been there onesself? A great post, thanks.

An in-store location will certainly expose Amazon to local taxation...something they're trying very hard to avoid.

Killing me...we were watching all day on TV, we go for one day in the first week every other year. God I miss living in NYC...thanks for my Big Apple Porn for the day!

Re: Misconceptions about Razorfish & Social

TonyCultEx — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:19:12 -0000

I saw this Jaffe Juice too and thought it a bit churlish. I know that it's difficult for smaller players to possess global vision, and that's OK. Then I saw @190east's RT, and I read your comments. I really don't think Razorfish's rep will be dented by his comments, but you're right to address inaccuracies.

Re: Hype Machine and Versioning

TonyCultEx — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:36:08 -0000

I think you've hit on something here. HypeMachine for me is the expression of the mash-up in art, where the artist creates, then releases the work into the world. And then the world has it's way with it, because there is always more creativity (and sometimes wisdom) in a crowd.

Artists who can't handle this should consider law school, knowhutimsayin?
