The best dream ever
Me and some friends were investigating the disappearance of presidential candidates. We thought Ron Paul would be next. We got a lead that the bodies were being held at the school. We got there and met up with the Scooby Gang (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). But Buffy had amnesia and couldn’t really remember who she was. Under the cover of darkness, we investigated the school, and found a...

iMovie and Vimeo
I can’t believe this. I just read a review of iMovie ‘08 in the October issue of Macworld. You can share your movie directly to YouTube! How fantastic! Not. Vimeo is far superior when it comes to home videos (which, lets face it, with iMovies crippled functionality, is the only kind of movie you’ll be making). Why didn’t Apple deal with Vimeo?

Re: Radiohead Ad
Re this, listening to the new Radiohead album, I think it is just making fun of Radiohead. It’s not a bad album. It’s not great.

Very cool.
As an entertainer, when somebody says “I’m bored, entertain me” and I can’t, I feel like shit.

Franic: oh right and so if there was a picture for a stick covered in anthrax and STD's saying "you wanna get the girls you gotta have one of these" then you would get it?
Jake: If Jakob Lodwick said it, then yes. I would, definitely.
The irony of Jakob Lodwick hating Gawker is that Nick Denton introduced him and his friends to a ton of high profilers around New York. He is at least slightly responsible for the success of Connected Ventures.

Trillian sucks on Windows, and Adium has all of Trillian’s functionality, but does it more eloquently. So I ask: Why?

Radiohead
I remember an ad that was on TV a while ago. There was a guy on a train platform who appeared to have Down Syndrome, in a wheelchair, with headphones on singing out loud (pretty terribly). Another kid, pretty average looking, stepped onto the train platform and looked at him oddly. Some text popped onto the screen that said something like “Don’t worry, he’s just a radiohead...
