Dropbox - Secure backup, sync and sharing made... →
Remember when GMail said, “Hey, what are you doing deleting all that mail, you might want to search for it and find it again someday?” It made a lot of sense, I feel like this is the same step, but for sharing of files from different computers and different people. It is just an effortless great tool, that appears to do things exactly as you would hope.
I just got a private beta...

Moo Grows Up, Gets Business Cards →
Being someone that works from home, and moves around a decent bit. My business cards are filled with chicken scratch sharpee if I try to keep my good quality cards, or poor quality cards with the correct info. This may be the answer offering high quality cards with a reasonable price with smaller quantity orders. I think I may try it out and give a review on how well they actually turn out. ...

High line is a beutiful park concept reconstructing old unused train tracks running through the southern west side of Manhattan. It is an elevated train track, hence High Line, that has been eagerly wished for for quite some time.

iLMU - Point.Click.Experience LMU →
Proud Lions. LMU has put some serious effort into creating an extremely desireable web portal for recruiting some great talent, proven by their dual Webby Honoree distinctions. The iLMU site I linked is really pretty impressive, very easy to gather information, all with a very beautiful appearance. I truly loved my LMU experience, it’s great to see them so willingly jumping into the 21st...
No, not like that at all
B: What do you think the chances of survival are of jumping out our window
Me: Absolutely zero
B: What about if you aimed for that green spot
Me: First, that is a hundred yards away, Second, no.
B: What if there was a mattress?
Me: Like an air mattress that a stunt man uses?
B: Yeah
Me: Absolutely not.
B: What if the air mattress was the size of the block?
Me: Ok, maybe then, you have a shot at survival, but that would cost $2 Million.
B: No it wouldn't, I could totally make it.
Me: Sometimes I think our conversations are really Jake and Amir worthy
B: Like me being Jake and you being Amir
Me: Wow

The race is now on to make competitvely priced green products. What if there was a soda company that suddenly had a carbon neutral can sitting right next to Coke and Pepsi, would you buy it?
It'll Never Work →
Famous quotes denouncing our most prized inventions. The degree of how impossible something seems simply multiplies the repircutions of it’s impact once it succeeds….some of our greatest Black Swans and what “wise” men thought of them at inception.

Franklin Parrasch Gallery - everything else: →
Last night was the opening of everything else at the Franklin Parrasch Gallery. It was one of those enjoyable openings because it was behind a door then up an elevator then behind another door, making it unknown to the person walking by. So basically the people in there were actually people that wanted to be there and not just passerbies looking for free booze. In open discretion, I really went...

Would You Pay $715 for $630 in Cash?
Microsoft, when trying to steal market share by giving away money, maybe look through all the possible loop holes….
joelaz:
There is a buy-it-now listing on eBay today where the seller is offering $630 in cash, which he will send electronically to the buyer through PayPal. The current price for this listing is $715. Why would someone pay $715 for $630 in cash? Well, you may have heard...

Graph of world cement usage →
Since I stole his earlier post, I’ll do this right way this time, this graph is staggering. You wonder how to measure who is increasing their infrastructure and preparing for growth, check this and be prepared for China to do a lot more than host an olympics and make everyone’s everythings.

Moodstream™ by Getty Images →
WOW
Wow, Moodstream makes me wish I had an extra monitor to simply devout solely to running this. It’s that fun. I would watch this all day long, and maybe will some day in the future. It’s seamingly endless amount of streaming content (music + videos/images) from just an abnormally large amount of variation thanks to the mother load of Getty Images behind it. Just go now, stop...

17 Reasons Why Bicycles Are the Most Popular... →
Pro-Bike, absolutely. Approximately a month ago I bought my first bike in New York, a 1976 Schwinn Suburban. It was beautifully restored, shines in the sunlight, and gets me from point A to point B better than any other option in the city. I feel happy to be a positive influence on my group of friends, a couple of who now enjoy the same luxuries of the wings of the a two wheeled chariott. ...

Charging by the Byte to Curb Internet Traffic:... →
This is a very very serious warning shot from some evil decision makers. Three of the largest ISPs are serious about charging by the byte for internet usage. This will be a monumental blow to the future expansion of media over the internet, thus taking the power out of the hands of the many creatives presently pushing web content and back into the greedy hands of the major corporations. You...
