No. Let ME reach out to YOU!
A new auroresponse against my PR blacklist.
UNSUBSCRIBE
Uh oh, pisghettios!
Our ruthlessly efficient robots say the message you just sent is junky PR
Stuff. We don’t do junky PR stuff. By extension, we also don’t do press
releases, “blasts, “sneak peeks,” or “blogger outreach.”
The test: if your email is about something you want us to talk...

So I got a new belt today. While this might not seem like a monumental thing, I tend to make it a big thing. Since I am incredibly picky about certain clothing accessories and I just can’t go to any old store to get belts that fit properly, it usually requires going to the tubby man store and a…

I’ve reached a tipping point. I don’t know if I was channeling grumpy old man today or what, but it seemed every other post I saw made me want to stand on a chair and scream out, “This is how you should do it!” That, or pour a stiff drink and sit fully clothed in an empty bathtub:
There’s Jay Parkinson’s comment on the Pollan quote....

All Things Web 2.0 - Heap CRM
This might be my favorite “Fail!” review of the month:
Heap Blows Chunks! They hurt communities!
Reviewed by Doug, 2007-06-18
So I’ve been using Heap for my free trial and I’ll admit heap is the best thing out there. But, I just assumed that I would get the app for free when my free trial was over. See I run a gallery that features art...

"Stop whining, and eat our delicious poison."
margeeka:
You know, it is so fashionable to take a shot at Flash. Look, the fact is the platform is out there every bloody day with fresh material and it’s charming.
Also, there are some small hoops to jump through, but bookmarkable pages are possible in Flash.
“Fashionable?” Sure. Because, like most busy people, I suddenly get all Karl Lagerfeld whenever a random ad for an SEO...

MP3 - You Look Nice Today - “Nary a Dude”
As ever, I make no secret of my ardor for a certain, sporadically-released audio program on which I and two other gentlemen are privileged to appear. Sorry. No secret.
Yesterday, I rediscovered yet another old chestnut.
Sure. Some part of me remembered “Nary a Dude” as being a pretty great early eppie—arguably the...
Take my money. Please.

I get worried when I can’t pay for things.
Me, too, Frank.
The more important any service becomes to what I’d loosely call “my infrastructure,” and the more zeroes I mentally calculate it’d take to make the service work well at scale, the more desperate I become to open my wallet. Fast.

Buster Keaton - “Stunts from The General”
Unbelievably executed scenes from my favorite silent film and one of the greatest comedies ever made.
From a 1965 documentary, narrated by BK friend and superfan, Orson Welles.
Got some spare time? Here’s the whole version of The General on YouTube or the mighty Archive.org
Got not so much spare time? Here’s a quick...

Possessory Credit Timeline →
Fascinating bit of history on who gets to awkwardly jam their name into the title of a film or TV show.
Ironically enough, it was another of our high dramatists of African-American culture—that klan-hugging genius, D.W. Griffith—who was the originator of that irksome little tic Tyler Perry now famously suffers from.
Um. Sorry. Let me correct that to give due possessory credit:
