So you have to be living under a rock to have not heard about the new augmented reality map-based game, Pokemon Go!. I first heard about it when it was all over Reddit, soon after its release in early July. I have to be honest – my first reaction was to ignore it as I thought of […]

Friday Fun Link – What The World’s Biggest Sites Looked Like At Launch
This is pretty interesting featuring screenshots of the original version of sites such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. For comparison’s sake, here’s what my very first web page looked like in December 1998 (this isn’t the first page I ever made but the earliest I could find in the Wayback Machine). Crazy to […]

Friday Fun Link – Another New Social Network For You To Join
Saw this on The Daily Show the other night – Li.st is a new social network by author and actor, BJ Novak. It’s got all the usual social media features you’d expect – Follows and Likes and Trending – so I guess the main thing that sets it apart is the conceit that everything on […]
A Selfie A Day For 8.5 Years
Following yesterday’s post about a guy who created a montage of him singing a single song over five years, here’s a new record holder – one selfie every day for 8.5 years!
Music Monday – “Time came a-creeping, oh, and time’s a loaded gun/Every road is a ray of light/It goes on, time only can lead you on/Still, it’s such a beautiful night”
A young guy took photos of himself every day for five straight years to create this montage of a Coldplay song. Spoiler alert but since the thumbnail he picked gives it away anyhow, it appears that he came up with a pretty cool way to commemorate his undergrad years… “Life in Technicolour” – Coldplay
(Belated) Music Monday – “Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact/Do not react/Shoot the messengers”
I forgot to do a Music Monday post yesterday but it worked out okay because this video showed up in my News Feed today! Most people figured a new Radiohead song/album was imminent as Radiohead, already known for very unique albums releases, had done something very unique in the past few days. In our hyper-viral attention […]

A Few Thoughts On @BernieSanders Use of Technology #feelthebern #primaryday #newyork
So today was a pretty big day in the United States as born and raised Brooklyn boy, Bernie Sanders went up against adopted hometown gal, Hillary Clinton in the New York primary in their ongoing battle to secure the Democratic Party nomination. As someone who’s very interested in the use of digital technology and social media in politics, I […]
Yay For Meaningless Internet Points! #feelthebern #whichhillary
I occasionally post on Reddit but most of my comments get a handful of upvotes (maybe) then disappear into obscurity. Lately, as I’ve been following the Bernie Sanders campaign from afar and knowing how much the campaign is being driven by Reddit users, I’ve been a bit more active than usual adding my theories, observations and/or snark on […]
