Although President Bush’s approval ratings have dipped to record lows, Congress’ approval rating is even lower. Why have the Democrats been completely unable to manifest change in Washington D.C.? As the Democrats struggle to find an electable (emphasis on ‘electable’) Presidential nominee, few [...]

Creepy Sleepy Show 130 - Technology is Easy
Dan and Dan get together for a touching Mahalo-themed holiday special! Well, okay, we geek out talking about search, Search, Wikis, Google, and Mahalo. Andrlik talks about Mahalo competing with Wikipedia, rather than Google. Patterson talks about effective branding, marketing, and drugs!
Rock n roll [...]


Feel Ripped Off By the iPhone Price Drop? Fuck You.

Yesterday’s Buzz Out Loud really, really pissed me off. I’ve been a BoL subscriber for almost as long as the program has existed. I really like Molly and Tom, and learn a lot from them every day. Yesterday, Molly went on an uber-rant about Apple and the iPhone price cut. Part [...]


A Creepy Sleepy Pipe: SlateV’s Damned Spot

SlateV is an interesting foray into video podcasting by political magazine Slate. SlaveV, edited by former (and sorely-missed) Slate podcast host Andy Bowers, resembles the left-leaning Slate text edition in both style and wit. Commentary on the ‘Simpsons’ relationship with environmentalism, and animated Bushisms is typically thoughtful and funny, regardless of one’s political [...]

Twitter

I signed up for Twitter a long time ago, futzed around a bit, then promptly forgot about the service. On a recent job-hunt on the web, I rediscovered the this gimicky but kinda cool app. In short, Twitter is a web 2.0 social network (in conjunction with Odeo, I think) that connects [...]


How to Prepare for a Conference Speech Using by the Social Web

As many of you know, I have been invited to give a speech for Outdoor Writer’s Association of America during their annual convention in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Although I have degrees in threatre and telecommunication, and am accustomed to speaking in front of crowds, I have never presented at a conference before. So, [...]
