We live in public trailer from RADAR on Vimeo. Zadi writes:If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely check out web entrepreneur/multi-media artist Josh Harris’ trailer for his new documentary We Live In Public. It’s a socio-political and artistic experiment that looks at what happens as we propel ourselves into lives that are on perpetual public display via the web. Eight years in...
Backed up my MacBook Pro with SuperDuper! ( OS 10.4.11 ) I feel happy about that.

Supporters beg Bloomberg to enter race - The Boston Globe“… the mayor said this month at a news conference, “Last I looked - and I’m not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It’s most states are winners take all. The popular vote assigns...

Gridlock at Riverway and Brookline Ave →
Bob Mathews writes in to oston The Globe’s Globewatch and asks, Can’t someone unclog the mess on the Riverway?: “…erect signs on Brookline Ave. inbound at the Riverway intersection warning drivers not to block the intersection; consider stationing a police officer at the intersection during the busiest times to prevent gridlock.”Excellent suggestion Bob. The selfish...
New England Patriots: Best TV Coverage →
I felt bad for Channel 5 (ABC) in Boston. They signed a deal for exclusive coverage of last night’s Partiots/Giants game, and the NFL broke the contract and gave the game to 4 (CBS) and 7 (NBC). The NFL ended up giving Channel 5 three playoff tickets and exclusive access for their pre-game and post-game shows. Those exclusives didn’t end up being so valuable. Pre Game When game time...
worst Boston accent ever
@chrisbrogan sweet!
Yay!
@jackhodgson I thought 5 was going to have different announcers.
ch 4 audio
Why does ch 5 in Boston have the exact same broadcast as 4 and 7? Ch audio is far superior. Oh oh ch 5.
@jackhodgson I’m ready. Why does CBS have the best sound?
@imnico Yes. They violated the license. I let them use it any way after the fact. Would be nice if they had asked though.
@dossy It wasn’t even you over there. It was someone talking about you.
@briandigital I’m supporting Channel 5 because they had the agreement. Plus I like their news in HD.
@dossy Hi. Steve Garfield from stevegarfield.com saw you on chrisbrogan.com Thanks for making twitter better.
Making dinner and getting ready for kickoff… Go Pats. Watching on Channel 5.

Anyone in the Delray/Boca FL area that can help my mom with her comcast modem connection problems? They don’t do Apple. Worst support ever.

Can We Sort Comcast TiVo Out? →
When you sort for upcoming movies on a Comcast TiVo it sorts by Time. When you sort for upcoming HD programs on a Comcast TiVo it sorts by program name. No way to change the sort. I’d prefer it to be sorted by time…

Comcast TiVo Yellow Screen of Death →
Comcsst TiVo Yellow Screen of Death - Originally uploaded on flickr by stevegarfield. While trying to record a movie with my new Comcast HD TiVo, the TiVo rebooted and then I got this screen. The “Comcast TiVo Yellow Screen of Death?” Maybe it’s actually the “Comcast TiVo Yellow Screen of Life” since I saw it during the reboot.
How Kids Learn →
David Rovics writes Raising Leila: “What I remember about first grade was that I learned that my needs, feelings and desires didn’t matter. I learned that doing what the teacher wanted was all that mattered, and I learned that this was impossible to do. I felt helpless, confused, and afraid most of the time. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one in the class feeling that way. It was my first...

Since much of the ‘writing’ on these shows consists of generating ideas for skits and segments, which are...
