What do you think this guy’s story is?
I think his mouth is open in awe after hearing that McCain chose Sarah Palin (*) as his running mate. More baffled reactions here…
Actually, after looking at the drawing some more, it looks like he’s offering up a disinterested yawn, which very much mirrors my own reaction to [...]

If only the real State of the Union were limited to 60 seconds Mahalo Daily: State of the Union Address in 60 seconds:

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 [...]

… besides the current low price of the dollar, the years of war, the insane debt, and the falsely dichotomized rhetoric of Republicans vs Democrats is (drum roll) health care / insurance companies.
I’ve been miserable all week because my insurance company is asking for verification from my Doctor that I really need my allergy medicine. [...]

So our home phone rings. I pick it up. H.R.C. is on the other end of the call (recorded of course) spamming me with why she’s going to make a great President.
NEWSFLASH: I haven’t signed up for anything asking for these phone calls. I just happen to live in New York where she’s been Senator. [...]

I just met Senator John McCain and shook his hand.

He kicked off D5 tonight. I think this conference is going to be pretty great. Also, I was walking next to Martha Stewart earlier. Spotted George Lucas.
Rafat Ali and I talked to Sky Dayton, the CEO of Helio about the Ocean and things we’d like [...]

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 [...]

Wow. Check this out. I first spotted this here and here (although for some reason those posts don’t show up on Eliot’s main page, just in his feed).
In any case, I just want to reiterate my thoughts on this. The title of this post is the code key needed to unlock HD-DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs [...]

Check out 20 Grand Alliance.
Some people I know are at risk of getting booted out of their apartment by their landlord. If you rent an apartment, or ever have rented an apartment, please feel free to contact this scumbag via the information on the eviction letter, posted here and tell him how uncool his actions [...]

I whipped up a new podcast over the weekend all about subscribing to the RSS feed of this wonderful page in iTunes as if it were a podcast.

Subscribe to the Sample The Web Podcast via iTunes.
ps—I own this Radiohead album and the track used in the podcast.
Update: It looks like [...]

I’m no longer actively working on running the day to day on Netscape. Do not email me asking for me to look into why you were banned from the site. You know damn well why you were banned. Go find some other part of the internet to plague with your crappy ad-laden blogspot sites filled [...]

Note: this post is long overdue and in response to a lot of the comments that I’ve seen on blogs and on social sites like Netscape. I am not speaking for anyone but myself when I say the following:
1. Please stop referring to liberals as liberal nazis. Nazis and Liberals are two entirely different things.
2. [...]

Last night, one of our members uploaded footage of Saddam Hussein’s execution. The story was reported by another member as needing a warning attached to it. I then had to decide whether to censor the video or let it run. Here’s my decision: WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Saddam Execution Video ..full including the drop » Netscape.com

Please stop calling me. I am not a fax machine. I do not appreciate your beeping in my ear.
I started blocking all calls without caller ID on my home line due to your repeated attempts to send faxes to my home number. I just got off the phone with Verizon and learned that the [...]

Via Congratulations to the RIAA legal team » Netscape.com:

Thanks for handicapping everyone in the Democratic party, you political failure, you.
Thanks for the apology, but give up now. Don’t ruin the Democrats’ chance by running in ‘08.
Sincerely,
C.K. Sample III

ps—I was just in a room sitting about 12 feet away from President Clinton. Wow.
Update: Here’s some more video from this morning’s press conference:
