Share this postI like @biz's new app, http://super.me. Encourages a more heartfelt kind of update, without the meanness of Secret.
@heyjudesue Literally. Delivery drones for sweet carbs at 100ft, savory at 120ft. Consumers will horizontally scale over time. Go go go.
@funnymonkey Next fundable lilypad: service pilot with carb delivery by drones dressed up as FSM. $20m round is closing. Go go go.
@heyjudesue Also I say "go go go" at the end of every micro-pitch. Go go go.
@timweston Minimum participation is $25K dependent on the round closing. $5m cap, 20% discount. Go go go.
Pivot. Carbs.io: push a button on your phone and get arbitrary carbohydrates delivered in 30 minutes or less. Seeking $20m. Go go go.
@stef "What Too Many Cooks can teach us about the future of media and journalism"
Thanks Terry! Looking forward to introducing you to the features we have coming up. This is just the beginning.
Attempting to acquire a DUNS number. Cannot progress until I let them know whether our office is brick or cinder blocks. Crucial, obvs.
'"Awesome," I replied, without missing a beat. "Just one question - what’s a web server?"' http://therealmccrea.com/2014/01/09/january-1994-a-very-good-month/
That old episode of The Net has made me realized that I've been on the Internet for twenty years now. BBSes for longer. Weird sauce.
@johnmccrea I remember watching it at the time; was the first year I was on the Internet. Weird 20 years later. Will check out your series!
.@waxpancake This is incredible. Thank you for uploading these.
Skip to 3:08 for some high-quality future-facing thought from a VP at Blockbuster.
"Of course, you may not want every movie ever made on tap." This is amazing. From 1994: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_q9HCtaKkA
Video codecs on the web are a complete mess and here's just another example of that. http://andreasgal.com/2014/11/16/vp8-and-h-264-to-both-become-mandatory-for-webrtc/
"We’re all unreasonable people; progress depends on changing the world to fit us, not the other way around." Loving. This.
Aaaand I just added The Fall to my "to watch list". Also, few things are Mad Men perfect!
@benedictevans We need a grassroots movement to bring back Gopher.
"So we're just building another beige box?" Working my way through Halt and Catch Fire & really enjoying it so far. Is this mainstream now?
Rendering video on a MacBook Air: always a solid choice.
@dsrjarman That would be bleakly hilarious, and therefore completely fitting. Still want to have a Dystopian Hackers Club.
@charltonbrooker I'd like to organize a legal screening of Black Mirror in San Francisco. Is there a way for me to do this?
Btw, Fifteen Million Merits is the best TV scifi of the last decade, & it'd be wrong to link to it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYPbZNTbnko
