Celebs & Twitter A-Listers don’t give a shit about you

March 31, 2009

Read that headline again. Once more. Guy Kawasaki doesn’t care about you, Diddy doesn’t care about you and Britney Spears sure as hell doesn’t care about you. Please STOP talking about them. We know social media is filled with people looking to gain followers. We know there are tons of real-life celebs who don’t engage [...]

Past, present and future of journalism

March 30, 2009

Name one industry that lasted for 350 years. Nothing? Newspapers. And now they’re dying and we’re supposed to care that they didn’t change with the time. We’re supposed to treat the lack of a printed paper as a bad thing, rather than an opportunity to reinvent the way people get their news. Bill Simmons does [...]

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, this is wrong

March 26, 2009

This is not an abortion debate. This is about the right way to do something. If you have a problem with a company like Planned Parenthood, protest them. Ask them to change, but don’t get shady. Lila is shady. If you’re going to protest Planned Parenthood, DON’T do it like this. Don’t lie. Don’t undermine [...]

Are you on Twitter?

March 26, 2009

Had a fantastic exchange with an elderly couple while riding my bike home from Boxer’s Men’s Salon this morning. They were standing next to the ticket machine, reading a sign about the Metro cards and looked somewhat curious, so I stop and asked them if they needed help. They were good, so we talked about [...]

Video done right!

March 23, 2009

If you’re going to post a video blog, this is way to do it. Nice work, Teel! Great breakdown, too. Makes me want to buy his stuff, if only because he knows what he’s doing.

Video blogging can be great, unless…

March 23, 2009

Every time I see something like this, my faith in the marketing industry dies a little bit. I can’t tell if the Bad Pitch Blog posted this ironically, but damn. Yes, I understand he might not have necessarily been talking about video blogging, but wow. If you’re going to shoot video of someone who claims [...]

Now THAT’S a bromance

March 21, 2009

Matthew Berry, wow, just wow. I’m not sure if you’re a fan of A-Roid or against him. Are you puffing out your cheeks or kissing yourself?

I’m just a sensitive man…

March 20, 2009

I’m not going to bother explaining this, nothing can really justify this image. I hope that men don’t end up thinking this is okay. This would be the BAD qualities of feminism, people. Special thanks to @thedirtyblonde and @zenzino, this was completely their fault. Oh, and Laurel.

Too many feminists are cultists

March 19, 2009

Sure, I know ALL feminists aren’t cruel, hatred-filled people who do nothing but attack their detractors, but that’s the impression far too many of us get. Feministing seems like a site filled with angry people looking to start fights and insult others. Marc, one of the bloggers on the site, has gone as far as [...]

Don’t become irrelevant

March 17, 2009

People say newspapers are dying. The news tells us that the US auto industry needs money. Banks are on their way out, too. Is it the economy? Is it advancing technology? Is it the lack of demand? No, no and no. These business leaders were STUPID. They lacked the foresight to adapt with changing times. [...]
