Hipsters Heart Books

This video was sent to me by a friend. I like the Honda Jazz as a cute little hot hatch, but this ad makes it for me.

It may be ridiculously easy to make fun of hipsters, but at least they read. Even if it’s only to be pretentious.
Philistine confession: I did not enjoy Everything [...]

Social media as explained by Stephen Fry

Yes, it’s all very annoying, I know. I mention Stephen Fry far too often for it to be healthy. I very rarely have an original thought about anything, unless it has to do with Spider-Man. And I certainly am an absolute pillock for linking to this video.
But it’s a brilliant and thoughtful look at [...]

It’s okay to hate your friends

Sometimes I see something an online friend of mine has tweeted or blogged, something I don’t personally agree with. It could be an innocuous thing like “Man, I really love pickles!” And I think to myself, grrrr, I hate pickles! Why am I friends with this person? Then I find myself on the verge of [...]

The Nicest Thing

Maybe it’s early-onset nostalgia or something, but I’ve been connecting with more and more old friends on Facebook. People I haven’t seen since high school. One such friend recently posted a meme along the lines of, “Tell me one memory you have of me. I’m curious to see what sticks out in your mind.”
And [...]

This is Halloween

y costume this year is probably going to be the most amazing thing of all time. I’m sneaking around the world from Kiev to Carolina, guys. That’s right. I’m going as a pseudo-nostalgia mid-’90s educational program character.
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. It’s Nerd Christmas, after all. And not to get serious on [...]

I made lulz at work

Normally I wouldn’t flack up all my clients in this personal blog, but this is a video I appeared in for some truly funny dudes who wrote a truly funny book. If you want to check out their site, which is like The Onion for college admissions, click here.

Internet Fights (Or: “Hold me back, Cog, HOLD ME BACK!”)

Your 7th grade locker room? No. The dive bar on the corner? Nuh uh. The one-day sale at a wedding dress boutique? Nope.
The internet is the easiest place in the world to get in a fight, no doubt.
What should you do when you find yourself embroiled in an internet fight? It’s tricky because, unlike a [...]

A Guy Who’s Doing it Right

I see a lot of people doing it wrong. Chris Brogan is doing it right.
It’s hard to get people to buy a book. Books cost money to get in hand, and they cost time to read. Plus there’s always a chance that it turns out badly, and you end up snapping it shut with the [...]

Block Fake People on Twitter Now

This philosophy might be a little late to the party, what with it being over a week (or 12 years in internet time) since Twitter punched spam followers in the face. But I think it bears saying nonetheless.
If you allow spam followers to follow you, even if you don’t follow back, you’re being an [...]
