Subvert and Profit →
Here’s an interesting concept that everyone knows is going on but few
will admit it. Expand your initial exposure by buying a few hundred
votes on digg or some extra video views on youtube.
Subvert and Profit runs an ever-expanding black market for votes on
social media sites. We are simultaneously the easiest way to make
money online and the cheapest form of advertising in the web...
CloudBook XP drivers will be available →
I just ran across this little snippet of good news over on Cloudbooker that states: Paul Kim, the Director of Marketing for Everex, has confirmed via e-mail to me that Windows XP drivers will be posted on Everex.com. Although the CloudBook will be shipping with gOS installed, users may want to put Windows XP on it and Everex has been listening and has agreed to provide drivers on their site. The...
I feel good when each day, one person reblogs one...
It’s just that little bit of validation, that someone liked the same thing you did, that makes this whole thing worthwhile. When a whole day has gone by and not a single post I’ve made has been reblogged I feel like I’ve let down my followers. The next morning I’ll get up and try harder to select only the best stuff to post. I look at the other tumblrs out there and I see...
Tumblr users are active
bijan:
We had a Tumblr board meeting yesterday in NYC. It was great to get everyone in a room and discuss the future of Tumblr. Lots of interesting ideas and needless to say, David & Marco are working on some very cool new things :) I was also blown away by some of the recent Tumblr stats. Tumblr users are super active & passionate. I knew that from the folks I follow but it’s...

Tumblr Growing: 180K Users, 720K Daily Pageviews →
vhudy6tx4dik9ol:
danieldl: Tumblr founder David Karp has gotten plenty of love. Now he wants to grow his microblogging business, and wants to hit a million users by the end of the year. So how’s he doing? David sent us some stats on his company’s growth since November: Tumblr has 180,000 registered users, a 59% increase since the beginning of November. At that rate, he’s...

Glenn Henry fireside chat →
Our friends over at Hot Hardware have just posted up a great interview with Glenn Henry, VIAs Centaur design center president. They’ve got the entire transcript up as well as an audio version for those of you interested in listening to this post on your iPod. Here’s a choice quote from the interview as to how VIA’s new CPU architecture is going to lineup with Intel’s...

CloudBook rockets in day after Valentine's Day →
As you may have heard, the CloudBook has been delayed until next month due to some software tweaks the gOS team is putting in at the last minute on their 2.0 release dubbed Rocket. Everex has posted a new date: February 15th, on their site which is just over two weeks away. Rocket was released this month at CES and has a number of modifications which might be contributing to the delay. One of...

Last night a vlogger saved my life
Once I do the handoff and the boys are getting her on a spineboard, I shake hands with the husband, give my name and number to the police, and continue on my merry way.
…on my merry way, riding the subway, covered in blood.
Ever try to ride the subway covered in blood? It doesn’t really matter how crowded the car is. People make room.
Read the whole first hand account as TikiBarTV’s...
Mythbusters tackle the Plane on a Conveyor Belt...
To get to the bottom of the thought-problem, Adam and Jamie used a real plane, in this case a 400-lb ultralight, and a large conveyor belt. Did the plane take off? You’ll have to wait until Wednesday to find out, but Adam said even the pilot guessed wrong.

re-blog haters
chloesanchez:
I’m starting to get a little annoyed with people who complain about all the re-blogging. It kind of reminds me of the anti-twitter bitching that went around a while back. If you don’t want it on your dashboard, don’t follow that person. If I want to post 54 pictures a day of my big toe and re-blog everything livejamie has ever said without my own commentary, it...

– Apparently many people think cynicism makes them look cool. It goes well with dark clothing and leaning on things. It also goes well with insecurity and crippling fear of failure. None of the best things in life are cynical. (via squashed)
I wish I could be less cynical.
