I’m Still Here…

…notwithstanding my lack of recent posts. I’ve been busy with projects and haven’t had much time to blog. In the meantime, check out this Slate article (co-written by my fiancee). It’s a little off topic but that’s a proud guy’s liberty…

Hedge Funds Love Volatility

Paramount studios announced today that they’ve severed ties with Tom Cruise after a 13 year relationship due to his “unacceptable” behavior. Strangely, Cruise’s agents claim that they terminated negotiations with Paramount after turning to a pair of hedge funds to finance Cruise’s future projects. Clearly, there’s more to this story: as my [...]

Video of the Day: Young Steve Jobs

From 1984, as he presents the original Macintosh computer: The screaming crowd reminds me of footage of old Beatles’ concerts–maybe it’s the bow tie?

MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog is an interesting service that’s worth knowing about–especially if you maintain a blog. Initially, the company offered a simple web analytics tool which provided basic statistics on site visits, page views, and outclicks. Recently, MyBlogLog launched a community feature: after registering, the service lets you join the “community” of any other [...]

Looks like Interactive just bought a 51% stake in NYC-based ConnectedVentures, which runs CollegeHumor.com, among other sites (link to more deal info). Gawker reported last month that this was in the works, valuing the company somewhere between $20-30M. According to CollegeHumor’s media kit, the company displays ~280 million pages each month and [...]
