Here’s my list, writing this on a train from NYC to DC with very poor internet. Good time to be alone with my thoughts: 10. American Hustle / Side Effects (tied) 9. Great Gatsby 8. Room 237 7. The Place…
I started reading Kafka’s The Trial the other day. It’s great so far, but it reminded me of a conversation I had with AT&T a while back after they charged me a bunch of “upgrade” fees. AT&T Rep: You are…
A few weeks ago, Facebook and Snapchat were dominating headlines. Facebook had reportedly offered Snapchat THREE BILLION DOLLARS. Even more ridiculous, or so it seemed at the time, Snapchat turned down the offer. I’ve done some thinking about the situation…
For the past few months one of the projects I’ve been working on has been for a company called Verificient. They are building a software solution to verify identities online. The technology’s first application is to prevent online cheating. Verificient…
The summer before I moved to NYC I compiled a massive list of every single movie set in New York. I then watched as many of them as I could find. The other day in /r/nyc there was a discussion…
Just a couple of quick predictions for the September 10th Apple announcement. As rumor of a gold iPhone run rampant I’ll throw a few of my own predictions out there: There will be an iPhone 5S and 5C. C will…
The short answer is yes and yes and yes, but it’s also a little more complicated than that. First I should probably step back, who is Die Antwoord? They are a South African rap group (the name Die Antwoord means…
I was having a conversation with a client last week about how to get initial users for their startup. They were concerned that a lot of my suggestions weren’t going to scale. I countered that until they got bigger, the…
This weekend as I was adding to my growing collection of Led Zeppelin bootlegs I came across a few cool things I hadn’t seen before. The first is a six part (probably ripped from tv) history of Led Zeppelin. For…
If you wrote off Kanye because of the fishsticks thing, Taylor Swift thing or George Bush doesn’t care about black people thing, you should give him another look. He just put out a new album called Yeezus and it is…
I’ve been using the beta version of iOS7 for a few weeks now and yesterday. Apple just released Beta 2, so I thought I’d take some time to talk about my impressions. First off, is it good? Yes, but it…
I’ll reserve commentary on the revelations that the NSA is monitoring the online activity of every single American and has been doing so for years for another post. The purpose of this post is to outline reasonable steps you can…
WWDC, Apple’s developer conference is starting today. Tim Cook and company will be giving a keynote to kick off things off. Like any other Apple event, the media speculation has been rampant. It sounds like we won’t be getting anything…

Just a quick note: server is slow, I’m aware. I’ve optimized some stuff to try to speed it up, but I probably need to migrate to a new server. One of these days I’ll find the time. There’s also a…
People always ask me what I do. After trying to explain they ask for examples. Here are a few such examples of projects I’ve completed recently. ConnectAd – ConnectAd empowers authors of user generated content (UGC) to select, control and…
