This opening story from todays NYT says it all.

This is a massive opportunity for independently produced series. This isn’t just about analog dollars and digital pennies. The network’s monopoly on distribution is eroding faster than they can figure out how to fight back. Video distribution is no longer oligarchical.

Welcome, folks. The playing field is leveling. That’s got to be terrifying for you.

The Silent Wonder Years: If you watch the Wonder Years without the voiceover narration, it’s 95% people staring at each other.

Always thought Kevin was kinda slow.

I loved Wonder Years, but for some reason it was uncool for 5th grade boys to watch it, at least according to my friends, so I kept it a secret. Looking back, I can pretty much guarantee you they all watched it, too.

It’s amazing there aren’t more adolescent-geared dramedies like this on TV. Wonder Years, My So-Called Life, Freaks and Geeks… and then? I also want to see the opposite of Wonder Years - where a grown man’s life is narrated by his younger self.

““The real question Americans are asking is, ‘What has President Obama actually accomplished?’ It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain – President Obama won’t be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.””

- RNC Chairman Michael Steele

Who could have predicted that the GOP would denounce something that is unequivocally good for America? Oh right. Everyone.

The Republicans knee jerk reaction to anything positive under the Obama administration is so blatant it makes me wonder why we cannot just reduce the entire party to a piece of software. I could totally code the GOP in 20 minutes.

“A controversial cooker that ‘grows’ meat and fish by heating animal cells in your kitchen claimed first prize in the Electrolux design competition tonight.

The invention, called Cocoon, could develop food with the make-up and nutrients of real meat.

Mr Hederstierna, 27, said: ‘This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination. It will change everything.”

25 million dollar triplex penthouse

This triplex penthouse apartment located in a clock tower near the Brooklyn Bridge costs $25 million. As it is a penthouse in a tower clock, each facade has a working clock in a 14-foot-high round window, and as it is a triplex, there are 3 floors and a very large area.

I could live here. Just so you know.

e.g., “I just wrote a blog” or (gag) “blogged a blog.” It’s always the Internet-clueless. Like TV hosts, or the announcer on WNYC who says “we have a new blog up tonight on our site.”

Yeah…saw this tonight on Sports Center. Have to admit, got some goosebumps. Much better than the Bank of America “We’re awesome, we’re America and we like comebacks” spot.

Goosebumps.

“

This is an apology for the way we previously handled illegally sold copies of 1984 and other novels on Kindle. Our “solution” to the problem was stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles. It is wholly self-inflicted, and we deserve the criticism we’ve received. We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward, ones that match our mission.

With deep apology to our customers,

Jeff Bezos

$$ off for foursquare checkins and the mayor drinks for free! (via Amit Gupta)

Jen and I suggested some foursquare promos to Cari a little while ago and she just put up the signs today.

The Marsh is the first cafe in SF to do a foursquare promotion!

Aw yeah, I’m in love with this. While we’re feverishly working on the stuff that will make promos like this look pretty in the iPhone, local bars, cafes and coffee shops are doing it guerilla style with flyers and Twitter.

If you know any places that are doing stuff like this, have them email us at team[at]playfoursquare[dotcom] so we can hook them up with the new “mayor bonus” stuff we’re building into the iPhone - thanks!

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:57:52 -0400

“Renting usually is cheaper than owning. In really expensive cities, such as New York and San Francisco, renting is so much cheaper that it’s tough to make the case for becoming a homeowner. Buying in these markets often means settling for a much worse property or an awful commute, compared with what you can afford if you continue to rent. You’re not really throwing money away when you send a check to your landlord, anyway. You’re exchanging it for a place to live. You’re also getting flexibility and freedom — things you sacrifice when you buy a home. When you’re a renter, it’s the landlord, not you, who is generally responsible for maintenance, repairs and fixing the toilet that blows up in the middle of the night. If the neighborhood should start to slide or you get or lose a job, you can up and move, often with just a few weeks’ notice.”
