in Is All This Paranoia About a Startup Depression Justified? on Blonde 2.0 Blog
Are you guys (and gals) kidding? You're tickling yourselves to make yourselves laugh. Gloom and Doom. Imbibe it. Sit with it. Get used to it. It's not going away for a very long time. The positive side of all this? November 13, 2026 is the end of the world. It's not that far away.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment while there's still time.

in Would You Sell Your Tweets? on Social Times
Makes me recall discussions in 1971 about the danger of commercializing the Internet, a system of communication developed to exchange ideas between scientifics. Tie an ad to your tweet and hang it out the window for your friends on any one of the social networks to gaze at, and see the response that you'll get. The late, and very regretted Vradik Lahanzi was right when he wrote, "Why do you think they call it advertising, stupid?" And Vradik was writing in 1939, well before Pearl Harbor, and well before Neil Armstrong (remember him?) decided to stop moonwalking and start twittering. I agree with Jeremy... the ad-like look gets you instantly unfollowed. Just how much are you offering for my tweets?

What does it mean that "Facebook is partnering up with Facebook" and why does "this makes a ton of sense"?

in Secret Crush… Not Such a Secret on AllFacebook
I am no longer keeping my cursh a secret. In fact, I joined a cursh awareness group last night. About 35 people sat around in a church basement, undressing various parts of his or her body to show other problem curshers, their cursh. After an hour or so, I think I had seen all the curshes I could imagine wanting to see for a long time. Then again... maybe not. That's the problem with no longer keeping one's cursh a secret. It's as addictive as twittering... maybe more so. But thank you for bringing it up.

in Do You Have a Big Brain? on AllFacebook
I liked this game, but was surprised to learn that after calculating my brain mass as 13,647,14cm³ that the results interpretation algorithm seemed stymied. All it could pronounce was that this was "the biggest damn brain we've ever tested! Unbelievable! This brain is like all the brains at NASA and NIH combined!"

in Facebook Updates Their Galleries on AllFacebook
I clearly remember a discussion with my mom back in the 90's about the potential of javascript preloading scripts. I thought at the time that she was crazy, but apparently she was right on! The poof is in the prudding when it comes to smooth graphic interfaces. And no... it really isn't straight AJAX, but who cares?
