“To a worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish.” – Yiddish idiom Julien Smith writes about the implied violence in rap music and real violence: when this implied (though explicit) violence turns to real violence, we all of a sudden switch from being really impressed to being horrified. Why? This is an important question, because…
One of my favorite videos, redone by XPLANE, originally by Karl Fisch of Arapahoe High School. Watch it. Think about it. The implications are enormous and potentially devastating or liberating. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMcfrLYDm2U[/youtube]
A quick rant about PodCamp co-organizers Just a quickie, two things I want to get off of my plate. 1. Just because it doesn’t come from Chris Penn or Chris Brogan doesn’t mean you should ignore it.

Awaken YOUR Superhero Powers : Power 10 of 10 – Realization Chi Jnana Paramita Realization As part of my every thought, word, and action, I am inspired by the heroic ideal of spiritual intelligence. I pursue highest knowledge! The last aspect of the superhero is perhaps the most important, because it makes all the other…
For those folks who – like me – aren’t pub crawlers (I am grossly incompetent at it AND genetically Asian, meaning that alcohol and I have a twisted relationship), I’d like to invite you to an INFORMAL working group session at or around 9 PM Saturday evening (after Jeff Pulver’s PodCamp Party) at the Westin…
… I’d write a Facebook application that would silently download every scrap of data in the FQL accessible database silently, amassing it into a huge database and cross referencing it with other data collected from other sources. You know, stuff like all your photos (handy for blackmail!), your friends (handy for marketing!), your birthdate (handy…
