Pop17, as its called, is a videoblog looking directly at the age of the internet micro celebrity. Her first official interview is with Jamie Wilkinson, who teaches a class called “Internet Famous” over at Parsons New School for [...]

Ah, those minutes troubleshooting video on the blog today were for nothing.. turns out that YouTube really did go down for a while this afternoon, when Pakistan Telecom apparently hijacked YouTube’s IP Range. Amazing something like this can happen.. and reminds me of the story a while back about some farmers using a high bandwidth fiber optic [...]

Great new Engadget video of Art Lebedev’s Optimus Maximus OLED Keyboard…
It looks great, even though it’s still using beta software and firmware. I was going to say that I’d like to see this kind of keyboard on laptops (my Macbook Pro, for example).. but now I think that the self-lit OLED displays on each key would be a huge drain on [...]

Apartment in a Box
A whole (small) apartment’s worth of furniture - crammed into a box transportable by two people. Sounds perfect for NYC. The box includes desk, bookshelves, chairs, even a full sized bed, all packed in there. I think the designers, Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser from Casulo have definitely one-upped and destroyed [...]

In addition to a 45 Billion hostile takeover bid from Microsoft, I just heard via Portfolio.com that Yahoo!’s entire design innovation team was fired, en masse. The whole team that focused on next-gen design is gone. It seems like Yahoo!, amidst increased operation costs [...]

Last Friday Snoop Dogg appeared on Larry King. This surely must be the most amazing thing I’ve seen all day. I’m always interested to see how Larry handles his various guests. He kept things rolling well with Snoop (video-talking politics), even though he ended up “rolling out” in the middle of the meal. Also, [...]
Quick blurb I read over at The Raw Feed…. Iowa now has more cell phones than landlines. They are the first US state to reach this landmark, and I’m proud of them! I personally haven’t had a landline in.. lets see… 8 years.. since I started college and got my first cell phone. And I’m [...]
Quick mid-superbowl blurb here.. I hear there is definitive movement to start production of a much-fabled Arrested Development Movie.. nice! Apparently, according to Page Six, Jeffrey Tambor has been chatting with Ron Howard, and they’ve both agreed to get the ball rolling on a feature-length film.
Soon we’ll be able to enjoy more Blueman Tobias, George-Michael [...]
