in What I Learned at Oakley on Chris Brogan
Hi Chris,

I'm an Oakley employee, but I'm in no way speaking on behalf of Oakley.

Regardless, thanks for the praise. Before I started working for Oakley (I work for Ken Loh, by the way... his title is Web Director -- he reports directly to the VPs), I had no idea what Oakley was about. Now that I work here, I'm floored by the creativity and passion that goes into everything here.

I'm passionate about what I do, and Oakley went way out of their way to bring me over from Florida to do, basically, XHTML and CSS. My passion for it and my drive to learn new things is a major part of what got me hired, and I'm positive it's the same for every other person at Oakley.

We love what we do, so thanks for the support that enables us to continue doing it. Also, if you'd like to read more stories of how our eyewear has helped people, check out the "Bloody Eye" section of our site. (WARNING: Some graphic/almost bloody images... http://oakley.com/community/news/bloody_eye )

meh.

Usually the idea when you copy a site or service is to improve on it. I haven't seen that here.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
with the keys to the cage
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die!

It's entirely amazing that cable internet and television has only gotten more expensive in the last 10 years. Why does sweden have 5 times the in-home speed that americans do? Do they pay as much as we do?

And the bullshit part of all of this is that there is no alternative!

Now imagine if each comcast subscriber actually saw that $195,000.

Even if it's $100 per user, that's $900,000,000.

Thats awesome.

Now they just need to redo their software using a not-annoying GUI. (I'm a subscriber)

It would be great if it were MY OWN DATA. The data of my friends belongs to them.

I would really like to see something like this take place:

mozstorage is similiar in concept, but I havent read into it enough to validate if it does what my post suggests.

I would pay $20 a month if they just made the software decent. Navigating around is hopeless.. new artist discovery is non existent... it's just a big nightmare.

And we're all tired of the same thing term after term after term. You go ahead and vote fer jeeeeesus, though. See where it gets us. Religion should not be the driving force behind a candidate.

I forgot to mention... I follow politics pretty closely, and I *still* don't know where Huckabee stands on issues that aren't jesus-related (tm).

Well, that's embarassing.

First Chuck Norris laughed at the jokes. Then he sued someone trying to make a dime off it. Now, him and Huckabee (the cross swinging jesus candidate) are using material they didn't come up with to promote his campaign??

Fuck that.

Time for some Ron Paul facts.

Is there an API? I'd love to have this functionality as a firefox plugin, or an osx widget.

Adam Ostrow Why would you consider it a rip? Kristen's analysis is based on the HitWise numbers. Allen didn't even touch those in the post you reference.

The big question for me is why can't they make the "learning" a centralized thing? It's not like people spam differently on different sites... they automate the spam.

How is this cyber squatting at *all*? That's a pretty sensationalist headline... I think you should google the term, Kristen. ;) You didn't touch on cyber squatting at all...
