Clicker

Today the startup I work for officially launched at TechCrunch50. If you want, you can check out our CEO’s presentation here.  It’s not long, and god damn it, this site is pretty cool.

This ends months of secrecy and intrigue and marks the beginning of a new era of secrecy and intrigue. Sign up for super-exclusive private beta here.

The party continues tomorrow, as clicker looks like it has a decent chance at winning this thing.

You’ve Been Schmapped

Schmap.com selected this photo, taken from the Lincoln Memorial overlooking the Washington Monument, to rep D.C. It’s some kind of social networking tourism site.

Pretty cool, I guess.

Dad on Fox Business

Trying to get the word out about Investors Against Genocide.

Darfur protest

Little sister is frozen in time by news photographers, and I think it’s nice to see her collegiate idealism will be preserved forever. When she grows up and becomes a hardcore conservative, we’ll all be able to point her back to this embarrassing display of belief in justice and equality (just kidding, Miranda).

Seriously though, it’s a good cause. If you’re anti-genocide (and I hope you are) please do what you can to support Investors Against Genocide.

I decided I shouldn’t be blogging about certain subjects while I still live in certain areas.

Instead, enjoy this article on how to kill a 500 foot monster.

Quake

A light earthquake occurred at 1:53:43 AM (PDT) on Tuesday, October 16, 2007.

The magnitude 4.2 event occurred 5 km (3 miles) N of Wrightwood, CA.

The hypocentral depth is 3 km ( 2 miles).

The earthquake felt like someone slamming the front door of our apartment.

I barely noticed it, Frankie slept through it, and Kurt thought it was Frankie masturbating so hard that it shook the couch.

The Man

Youtube has been forced to take down my “Shame on a Simpson” video because of alleged copyright infringement. Fine.

At its time of death, my video had:
42,783 views
53 comments
and 4.5 stars

It was a good piece of fair use art, in my opinion. Luckily, some other people on youtube liked the video enough to download it and host it themselves:

Maybe we’ll keep handing this off like it’s the Watergate story. That would be fun.

Thunderface is ALIVE!!!!

One day 4 Emerson students got a quad at the Oakwoods together. The videos that resulted were so stupid, so inane, so utterly worthless, that they could no longer be called a part of the legitimate comedy troop known as Emerson Comedy Workshop.

They became…

Their vague attempts at internet karaoke comedy would be chronicled as follows:

Mo Rocca’s Freshmen Gone Wild

Here, little sister is briefly interviewed, mid-montage, about her upcoming freshman year at NYU:

Mo Rocca: “What are you excited to do?”

Miranda: “Ummm. Restaurants?”

Yeah, that sounds like her. The Save Darfur shirt is a dead give away as well.
