I was telling my buddy Nick about this earlier today, when he pointed out that this video is over an hour long. Isn’t the limit for we mortals 10 minutes or less on Youtube? Oh Google.

Party on Saturday May 30th at 3pm at Water Taxi Beach for my, Keegan, Darrow, Curly, Roy, and Berger’s B-day. Come by if your around.
I’m in the process of a site redesign, but am having an issue with line breaks in posts.
As you can tell, right now I can’t get a line break to work. I ask your help, as I have done as much as I know how. I’ve tried paragraph tag and line break tags and nothing is working for me. Please take a look at the CSS and PHP files, which I have provided for download here. If you think you can figure this out, let me know, It’s starting to drive me nuts.
UPDATE: It works now. I want to thank Jeff Jones for showing me how to fix this.
Earlier today, I was in Central Park and check-in on Brightkite. A friend of mine saw this on Facebook and sent me a text saying he was heading to the park and wanted to meet up. I had already gone back to my apartment when I got the text, but this was the first time I had seen any type of real-life results from using a location-based service.
I started to write a post back in December when Brightkite announced Facebook integration, but never finished it. I thought the idea of tying the two together is amazing, and in the post thought to go one step further saying Facebook should buy Brightkite.
Hear me out. You’re out around the city and check in on Brightkite. This gets pushed to Facebook and shows up in your friends’ newsfeed. Using the Facebook mobile app, your friend sees that you have check-in close by and sends you a message seeing if you want to meet up.
Most of my friends would never use Brightkite on its own because they aren’t really web-savy and have privacy concerns with letting everyone on the web know where they are. This is where Facebook comes into play. With its privacy policies, a user could select who could see their location and Facebook’s walled garden wouldn’t share your location setting with the rest of the web.
Brightkite already has the privacy setting in place (Trusted Friend, Casual Friend, etc) and with its mobile app the leg work is pretty much taken care of. Integrating the two would be a rather easy task. The only issue I could see coming up is Facebook’s concerns with legal obligations with a location-based service.
This might not fully take off with people my age who have become accustomed to a certain level of privacy on the web, but with kids that are in high school or younger, I think this would be something that could take off huge.
What are your thoughts? Would you use a location-based service from Facebook?
And Marisa Miller too. I know I’ve posted this picture, but it’s always worth revisiting.
This is so wrong, it has to be right. Spotted on Meka’s twitter.
Have you ever ran into the issue of hitting your max number of authorized computers on iTunes? I have. I forgot to deauthorize a computer at my old job and had another computer at my current job which was reformatted and couldn’t be deauthorized. My dude Dustin found an option to deauthorize all your computers, even ones you don’t have access to in one move. Here’s a link to the instructions on how to do so. Life (or iTunes) saver.
The only reason why I’m posting this is because of comments my friend Beth made after listening to the song:
Jesus, this is worse than waterboarding. Pipe this shit into the PA system at GITMO.
Yep, this could be an anthem.
If it came down to it.
