After last year’s bracket column, a number of you happily reported that your wallet was a little heavier after winning your pool on the championship game. Chris and I were happy to oblige and decided to repeat this year. (Speaking of repeat: We hope you do, too.) His picks are still being worked on, but since we’re cutting it close: (more…)
This is Madness: 2013 Edition
Wahoo! It’s the annual March Madness aggregation of all the coverage from across the web. Chris and I will be co-writing a piece this Wednesday with our thoughts on the seedings, upsets, and final picks for the 2013 tournament, but until then… (more…)
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.

A List of People Who Should Never Discuss Politics Again
The most satisfying part about last night’s election results wasn’t the winner.

I’ve never been mistaken for a hipster, but I’ve totally been following Silver’s 538 blog since before it was cool.

Anyone with the unfortunate experience of having GoDaddy as a domain registrar was treated to an avalanche of phone calls today. A lone hacker from Anonymous arranged a DDOS attack against them this afternoon, crashing their servers and taking half the internet with it.
Here’s the best snark from Twitter users after the world’s worst web host was hacked by some kid…
How I Stay Productive
The internet has a headache-inducing number of blog posts, “How-To’s”, and checklists about keeping yourself productive. That much reading on a topic so banal can and will fry your brain if you want to stay on top of it and tweak the way you eat your breakfast cereal.
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…
