don’t hold it against me

I’ve never listened to Britney. But the video for Hold it Against me is one of the most brilliant I’ve ever seen…it’s like some caffeine-crazed collaboration between Terry Gilliam, Robert Lepage and Darren Aronofsky.

like a mad tv skit set in a parallel universe where Kim Jong-il is gay

Subject: A WWW cg-script that has real possibilities
Message-Id:

In a mailing list called net-happenings, I saw an announcement for
cgi-script called WWW-MAIL.pl. It basically allows you read an IMAP or
POP server. I got it and I think it has real possibilities. I think I
could use it to build a nice interface with it so that a person’s mail
client is really a WWW resource. I know it would never look like a real
mail client but it may be worth pursuing. I ask because the “netscape”
people built a news interface that could eliminate the need for a separate
news client. If they can do that, do you think someone will do the
same but for mail within a WWW client. If they do, they should build it
around a imap server (not a pop server).

Just some thoughts.

Vampire Weekend? Vampire Fucking Weekend? Vampire Weekend suck! David Byrne’s Luaka Bop was introducing the real indie kids to real world music, almost two decades earlier!

a thought for this day

the most important person you will ever lie to is yourself

OMFG

well said

dben on huffingtonpost

The “genius” of Mark Zuckerberg? He has monetized the immaterial. Facebook is a marketing plan masquerading as a personality contest.

Profiles allow individuals to create personal “brands” used to lure more and more “Friends” (i.e. consumers)…

1. The more “Friends” you have, the stronger your “brand”.
2. The better your vacation photos, the more alluring your “brand”.
3. The smarter your ironic comments, the cooler your “brand”.
4. The hipper your music, the more cutting edge your “brand”.

Ego is the ultimate consumer platform. And we all know it’s about market share.

Facebook has turned identity into a product. People’s insecurity and desire for attention is limitless…and profitable. Caveat emptor.

Dan, honey, just one word you need to know
