Doc Searls said something interesting in this post about Twitter and Facebook:
I’m sure there’s something on Facebook that does the same thing. But Facebook is AOL 2.0. It’s heavy and complicated and wants to run my life. So I mostly avoid it. My loss perhaps, but that’s beside the twin points of live vs. static [...]
This is my favorite blog post from 2007. It’s me talking about being part of the start-up life and the difference between working on a start-up inside a large corporation (relaunching Netscape inside AOL) and starting up something like Mahalo (*) that is new and free from all the rubbish that weighs down big companies.
My [...]
If you followed all the steps in my last post about the Asus Eee PC, then you have a persistent and fully functional copy of Ubuntu on a USB stick. The problem with this (besides that USB stick jutting out the side of the Eee all the time)? Boot time is slow. Since the USB [...]
Rael Dornfest makes cool things (I worked with him on several O’Reilly books; hi, Rael!) and this BoingBoing post about his newest project I Want Sandy sounds interesting. I need to fiddle with it some on my own, but it sounds like a very powerful email-based reminder and personal-assistant system for easily putting more [...]

I sketched this cartoon today.
I like these exagerated faces.
See Eye of Judgement (*) to understand what the heck this post is about.
So Eliot brought Eye of Judgement (*) for the PS3 over last night. It was kind of like being inside an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, as you’re playing, essentially, a card game, brought to operatic levels of absurdity by video game goodness. All [...]

We’re building out a Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (*) category over at Mahalo right now, and we could use your help. Since the game is fresh off the press, there’s not *too* many reviews, cheats, or tricks out [...]
Backpack Beach chair
Originally uploaded by C.K. Sample III.
Kristin bought us 2 of these backpack beach chairs from Target for going down to the Santa Monica beach. It’s been a bit too chilly of late for that, BUT I’ve found that this chair is an excellent [...]
Andy at Mahalo put together a sick guide to learning to play piano. I mean, check out all the annotated pictures. It’s great. Since I first started playing guitar when I was 11, I’ve always wanted to learn to play the piano, but my Grandmother refused to teach me when I asked her, because my [...]
Our car arrived intact today. I’m writing this post from Kristin’s new iPhone. It is pretty cool, albeit slow-going.
Ray, one of Mahalo’s devs, made this little animation using JibJab and featuring Thatcher and Toro… sort of:
UPDATE: Sorry had to cut this. Kept causing errors whenever I load my site.
Kristin and I were at the beach today and the waves were really rough. We went in to the shallows briefly and I was riding waves in like a little kid, until one of them flipped me and I hurt my left arm. Seem to have pulled one of my shoulder muscles. In any case, [...]
Brian Jepson just sent me this, noting that it had my name on it: Global War on Terrorism Special Plate. Haha… and whoa Oklahoma!
Great interview with Jason:
Tech Digest: Shiny Video Interview: Kat speaks to Jason Calacanis of Mahalo.com about Google, Nick Denton, Ask.com and who his next frenemy will be
Major take-aways:
1. Mahalo is here to help.
2. Mahalo Greenhouse is here to let you help.
3. SEO Blackhats are scum of the earth.
4. PayPerPost is actively destroying the credibility of [...]
I packed up my Xbox 360, so I’ll have some entertainment during my current spot of traveling. Jake from 8BitJoystick commented on the above Flickr pic that he’d never check his 360, then I pointed out that it was in my carry on and he called it hardcore. Rock.
I made it through security without any [...]
It’s flooded everywhere. Kristin just discovered that all her routes to work are flooded, so it looks like she’s stuck here for the day.
More rain on the way, too.
Great Netscape theme for Firefox from the Netscape team: Netstripe: Netscape 9’s Theme for Firefox - The Netscape Blog
Andy Fraley is a great designer. Very clean stuff. Can’t wait to see the full browser release!
Oh, stupid stupid Internets, when will you stop trying to fool everyone with your silly silly posts.
By the way, did you guys hear about the new subcompact that doubles as a tablet that Apple is launching tomorrow?
