    Google Reader: Why Filtering Distractions Is Key to the Future of Online Content

Google Reader: Why Filtering Distractions Is Key to the Future of Online Content

Google Reader had more written about its demise than there was about its launch, but all the coverage I’ve read has grossly, spectacularly missed the mark on why Reader (more importantly RSS in general) is so valuable now more than ever.

That’s not surprising in the least nor is it the fault of people that loved Google Reader. Their reasons for using it were about centralizing the articles, videos, and photos they previously had to load in separate tabs. Opening everything you want to read in a new window is a daunting task if your reading […]

A List of People Who Should Never Discuss Politics Again

The most satisfying part about last night’s election results wasn’t the winner.  It was when the opinions, false equivalencies, credibility, and egos of the (mostly right-wing) “pundits” (If we define ‘pundit’ as someone who eats glue ) were proven wholly irrelevant by New York Times’ Nate Silver.   I’ve never been mistaken for a hipster, but I’ve totally been following Silver’s 538 blog since before it was cool.

I work full-time, run a startup, will soon begin training interns and hiring freelance staff, manage to keep up on news, work out, and still enjoy somewhat of a social life.  I do this using three – and only three – bullets.

NYC Summer Movies 2012

Internet Week 2012 is in full swing – which means that if I were to actually attend one of these movies today I’d be asleep before the opening credits.  However, it also means that an almost-full list of all the movies is compiled and ready to be added to your calendar.

This project is always a fun ‘thank you’ to the Internet Week crowd and to the suprising amount of people that continue to visit this website despite its recent lack of updates.

So again – thank you.  And without further adieu…
