For example, via Tumblr users lonelysandwich and bullshit i was introduced to the site Fimoculous.com thru its post titled Best Blogs of 2007 That You (Maybe) Aren’t Reading. I have also been made aware of many a funny video, picture and intersting reads through the Tumblr-ers i follow. And i...

WineLibrary TVs Gary Vaynerchuk was on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Its a funny watch but worth it if you drink wine. :) Conan asks what i’ve always wondered, how does one know what the description of a taste of wine means. Certainly worth watch now. :)

Oh and before i forget “speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes...

Yay for Derrick
Derrick Oien (pronounced like “Owen”) has been a great inspiration to Matt Galligan and I for our workings at socialthing since 2005. He encouraged us to take the energy and networking we dumped into AMP and do something together outside of AMP. We’ve stayed in touch and i always enjoy reading whenever he is interviewed. So when i saw this over at mobsoc.net i read listened to it...

Rachel (of My Space or Yours fame) hosted a great Cosby Kind of Christmas sweater party. It was a blast and lots of people took pictures. You can see the first batch over at Arron’s Flickr page. You don’t get to see my original sweater but you get the idea.
