“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do”. Riveting speech.
Go Turf Geography Club!
I am reading Eli Parser’s fascinating book, The Filter Bubble, about web personalization and modularity. It highlights how dynamic content is driven by commercial interests and not necessarily what you should be consuming. The book is highly recommended and a must read for anyone who works or uses the web (which means everyone). This is the TED talk that Eli gave. Hat tip to Jockohomo for...

The Beatles Prove You're Lazy.
The Beatles albums are all in the top 50 of iTunes sellers just days after their digital release. What does that tell me?

You think...
I hear some of you think I am dead. Well don’t call it a comeback but I am not deceased.
I just want to go on the record to say it is hard work trying to put a toolbar on every man, woman, and childs computer.
Jake don’t f*** it up- we’re all counting on you.
