Yessssssssss! Thanks to the lovely and generous Ava Naves of Online Strategy I’ve got me a spanking-new used iPhone 3, and thanks to the warnings of numerous friends I know not to update the basic software, lest it become confused in typical outdated-tech-steve-wants-you-to-buy-another ways.

Got this from Kiip founder Brian Wong on Google+, if memory serves. He’s one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met, with the ability to see the long-term effects of decisions. If I were going to work for any barely post-pubescent startup guy from Vancouver, it would be him. They’re also hiring a number […]
I’m of two minds about CoverItLive: on the one hand, there’s nothing better at pulling in multiple realtime feeds and combining them into actual content and a coherent conversation all at once.

And I believe it was Fran Lebowitz, who said everything interesting which neither Shaw nor Wilde said, who said, “Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.” […]
This will not end well. Neatorama reports that thanks to a company called Ping, clothing has now become sentient. It contains sensors that discern what you’re doing based upon your body movements and automatically updates your Facebook profile accordingly:Technology is integrated into the mechanics of the garment. For example, a sensor is entegrated into the […]
I’m not sure this photo is officially Steve Jobs Approved, so check it out while you still can, before his fearsome army of musclemen lay the smackdown on WordPress and I have to take it down. Click on to see the very first, exclusive photo of the internal workings of the iPad.
Ladies and Gentlemen, especially Gentlemen who prefer Gentlemen, may we present your new favorite app: Sausage Party! Sausage Party looks at your upcoming Facebook events and rigorously assesses their respective sausage ratings on a 0 to 5 sausage scale.
