Okay, I know it’s uber-hip to love Flight of The Conchords, but I’m not ashamed, I do.
One of the main reasons I’m a fan is because of Kristen Sachaal, who plays the part of Mel. Over the last few years, I’ve actually met Kristen a few times through my cousin, who knew her from Northwestern [...]

If you haven’t read up on the issue brewing at Blip.tv in regards to Loren Feldman’s ignorant, worthless, racist, garbage, then check out this post on their company blog.
I’ve been thinking about issues of hate-speech and publisher rights for some time. These aren’t easy issues, so I want to commend Blip off the bat for [...]

I absolutely love this political ad from John Edwards. I first saw it during the CNN/YouTube Debates and appreciated the humor of how stupid it is to focus on candidates’ minor foibles. Then, after my dad forwarded it on to me again today, I began thinking about how darn appropriate the message was for the [...]

Therefore no sharing!?!?!
Therefore my Mac sucks at viewing it!?!?!

Come on. You’ve lost any $$ I would have spent in the future going to [...]

If I was consulting Webware on their online video experience, the first thing I’d do is shame them! (Sorry Caroline! NYC still loves you.)
Forget for a minute that I couldn’t watch their video in my RSS reader this morning (I’m sure it’s always been like this, and this is just the first I’ve wanted to [...]

I wanted to try out TheNewsRoom after reading this announcement from parent company Voxant and Dow Jones. So, what better way to try it out then by posting a video on my blog about something recent that’s happened.
For this trial I chose an AP video about Google Gears. It’s informative, if you don’t understand the [...]

I was excited for this historic interview and the D folks really pulled through and asked great questions (after I pointed out that they weren’t getting questions from “real people”, Kara Swisher emailed me and made that part of the plan). What more, you can watch all the clips on the All Things D Video [...]

Kara Swisher, the second half of D and AllThingsD.com (the first half being the almighty Walt Mossberg), decided to go out and ask people what they would ask Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in their historic round-table discussion slated for the D: All Things Digital conference next Wednesday.
But wait, instead of crowd sourcing normal people, [...]
