I'm Stealing
I feel the need to steal Colbert’s art in the form of this Comedy Central embedded video.

Biometric Airport Security
As a traveller, one of the biggest peeves I have is waiting in line to clear security – especially if I’m running late! Personally, I think the TSA is a bit overboard with their tactics, but I do think they’ve gotten better. On several recent trips, I had bad experiences waiting for security. Flying to…

It's About the Dialog, Stupid!
Scoble shocked us (a bit) earlier in the week when he wrote that he was quitting blogging (again). It wasn’t that he was quitting blogging that was so startling. It was the reason for it that shook me a bit: Tonight I looked over my Twitters and blogs. They are angry. Confrontational. Disturbed. Hurt. Dismayed.…

Movable Type 4 Setup Video
I took the time this evening to setup Movable Type 4. I believe in the open source movement and though MT was much alighned for going into “paid mode” for MT3 (and alienating many, many bloggers who were loyal MT users), they swung the other direction with MT4 by opening it up. Not only is…

Excellent Idea, Jason!
For as much crap as I’ve given Jason Calacanis over the years – ramped up most recently over “the Winer incident” at Gnomedex (I won’t link because I don’t want to focus on it and because this post is supposed to be positive), I have to give him my endorsement on his latest Mahalo idea…

Ravens Press Policy
This morning, I was shut down in the middle of a podcast recording at Baltimore Ravens training camp. During the video, my camera was pointed at me with a tree in the background. There were no fans, players, Ravens likeness, etc. There was no reason for a shutdown. But I was because I didn’t have…

Could you picture me in a Union?
I hate being part of an echo chamber, but the idea of a blogging union is crap. This was the concept initiated by a small group of bloggers at the Yearly Kos convention, a remarkably mundane group of left leaning dependophiles that believe socialized anything is good for business. A bloggers union will never happen.…

I Have a Face for Radio: Kris Smith Podcast with Me
Gnomedex was fantastic and it would be difficult toname the high point. However, ranking right up there was an opportunity to sit down with Kris Smith for a few minutes of podcasting. Notably, he observed that this site has just gone into Beta (heh) and we talked further about Digg, Facebook and Twitter. Great fun,…

Personal Perception is the Key to Business Success
Today at Gnomedex there was a fascinating interaction between the user-centric Gnomedex crowd and Jason Calacanis. Jason, as you know from previous interactions and engagements on the web and on this blog, is the founder of several successful companies. His current project is the much maligned Mahalo which figures to despam the internet by providing…

Live from Ravens Training Camp
I’m leaving tomorrow for Gnomedex so I don’t anticipate any last minute blogging. Instead, I’ll leave you with a video cast that I produced today from Ravens Training Camp in Westminster, MD for my Suicide Fan weekly sports podcast. For those of you who are sports fans, I hope you enjoy. For everyone else, well……
