Instapaper →
marco:
I’m ready to direct some traffic to my little side project, Instapaper. I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t live without it now.
Here’s the basic premise:
You come across substantial news or blog articles that you want to read, but don’t have time at the moment.
You need something to read while sitting on a bus, waiting in a line, or bored in front of a computer.

I didn’t see this game until catching up on Kottke a minute ago. One of the perils of great art is that you can’t really talk about it without taking something away from the experience of someone who hasn’t seen it yet. Fortunately, this is the web, and I can just link you to it with a recommendation: I strongly suggest you download and install this game, and play...

I’ve come up with a New Years Resolution! I haven’t been drinking Coke for the last month and it feels so much better. I actually haven’t been able to bring myself to drink it, even when it would be nice/convenient. I just imagine it dissolving my teeth and giving me headaches. I think I’m going to give up high-fructose soda for good. — david
Great idea, I did this in...

A trip down memory lane.. — livejamie
Why?
I found out recently that Amber Mac quit here job at CityTv and is focusing full time of her Consulting and Podcasting. She mentioned on her blog that she was looking to continue doing her show Webnation in some online form. I can’t imagine why it isn’t already done. If I was an online Media Network I would jump at the chance to have someone like her on my network. Same with her...
Advertising
I’ve been looking into getting advertising on extraview to make some money. I don’t want to do the stupid route and go with anything obtrusive and obnoxious, and it’s really hard. Out of all the ad people, I feel that the Deck is best, but I don’t think that they will let me in. There are 22 Deck sites, and Gruber and Kottke are two of them, so my chances are slim. They...
WTF?
Charles: Hello?
Me: Hey it's David. I haven't eaten yet, want to get some food?

New interview with Tim Shey up. he wrote a lot.
I LOVE HYPE MACHINE
“you’re getting there. There’ll be lots more, i hope. Beats molesting...”
– I emailed Erik Spiekermann after watching Helvetica. I told him I loved his fonts (which is true) and that telling him so is probably one of the nerdiest things I have ever done. This was his response.
It’s the perfect mix of awesome and weird

So, he has a lot more followers than me, but if you were avoiding following him because your read Gawker like it’s the New York Times well, I promise, his blog is interesting.

If you know that something is wrong with Julia, but can’t quite articulate it, take a peek at Reblogging Julia, your daily source for commentary on the least self-aware personality in New York City. — jakoblodwick
Jakob made a rather lengthy post about how Julia Allison, which is what reminded me that I had yet to unfollower. (Here negative take on Tumblr and it’s...
I Got On Valleywag! →
I just checked the stats of my other site (still not linking to it, in my weird self protest). I noticed a loverly little spike thanks to Mr. Nicholas Carlson . So, not only am I on Valleywag (not sure if this is a first), but I’m there positively. I feels special.
I Just Unfollowed Someone on Tumblr
Don’t worry, it was just Julia Allison. How the hell was I following her in the first place?
colbert just said batshit crazy! yay!

Why do you see the number of people you are following on the Dashboard? Shouldn’t it be the number of people following you? Seems like it would be more useful.

“Jonathan Coulton? Fuck that guy.”

That sucked.
After a day of coffee and standing for a long time on concrete followed by a very long leg workout then not drinking much and falling asleep, I guess I should have expected this.
Lesson learned. — marco
I knew standing all day wasn’t good! ha!
