Because Nothing Entertains Like Human Suffering
An e-mail landed in my inbox yesterday. The French author, in slightly broken English, wanted me to have a look at a new iPhone application. I get e-mails like this more often than most people breathe, so I sneered, clicked off my phone, and rolled off the side of my bed. Since the fall managed […]

Nikola Tesla, Justin Timberlake and Link Walk Into A Bar …
… and in the punchline, the bar is made of sexy purple electricity. I haven’t quite worked out the wording. Propers to ArcAttack for destroying the last hour of my life with hot Tesla Coil-on-audio action, and Vimeo for making YouTube look like Friendster.

In Which I Try to Explain Foursquare and Why It May Be a Moot Point
The Internet is a capricious mistress, isn’t she? It seems like only yesterday (Friday actually) that I was talking to Wm™ Steven Humphrey about what the hell is this Foursquare thingy on the internet and why is everyone at SXSW getting their twitters in a twist about it and suddenly it’s Monday and Dennis Crowley, […]

Smoke Inside with the E-Cigarette
So I was at the mall last week (don’t hate!!), and I noticed a kiosk where the salesmen were puffing on what appeared to be real cigarettes. But they obviously weren’t—they were most likely these… They’re billed as “E-Cigarettes” or electronic cigarettes. Here’s how they work: Smoking Everywhere E-Cigarette performs just like a traditional cigarette. […]
