This is the first wikipedia article that I’ve ever seen that tells you to “google it”
Jon Favreau is Obama's new speechwriter →
When I first read it I thought it was Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man, and felt that it was an odd choice for both Obama and Favreau, turns out more than one person can have the same name.
Boxee: Awesome →
I just installed Boxee on my Apple TV and it makes it so much more useful. Basically it’s an open source Apple TV interface. You actually access it through the regular Apple TV interface so you don’t loose any functionality. It gives you access to Hulu among others, and since it’s open source, they will add more as time goes on (I hear Pandora support is coming).
I'm calling you out Marco Arment!
I will fight you (in some capacity). You and you still shaven head (which goes without saying because it’s attached to you)!
I will bring you to justice… or budapest.
How do I sell my MacBIhaook pro
I have tried to find a good way to get rid of my old macs, and have continuously failed. I currently have a MacBook Pro 15” 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with a 160HDD and 2GB of memory. This mac has served me well, and it is still in great shape, but since it’s my only machine, I need an upgrade. Any suggestions/takers?

In all the years I’ve lived in New York, I’ve called 911 upwards of ten times. Tonight was the first time I’ve ever needed to call for EMS. I’m pretty sure my doorman overdosed on something. He was sitting up with wide bloodshot eyes, covered in vomit, and completely unresponsive.
I thought having a doorman was supposed to make you feel safer, so if this happens where you live,...

This is from Nate Silver of Five Thirty eight who’s election projection was off by just one state: Indiana (though he did say it was a very weak republican lead)

Today I Saw Apple and AT&T Fight, Literally.
I’ve been having problems with my iPhone recently, so I brought it down to my local Apple Store to see if they could help. The mall was full of people who, I assume, were buying gifts for the holidays. Apple was no less crowded than anywhere else and I was afraid I would have trouble getting an appointment. However, I managed to make one for ten minutes from when I arrived and I was speaking...

Well done Alaska!

That’s right, and the first laptop will be a mac. Fuck yeah.

Say Goodbye to BlackBerry? If Obama Has to, Yes He... →
I always wondered why there isn’t a computer in the Oval Office. It makes sense, but why don’t they just have an intranet for only government officials. I think we can trust that congressmen and women will not try to hack the White House.
And it’s not a matter of national security if Obama’s personal correspondence gets hacked… it would just kinda suck.
GTD
So, for about a year, I’ve been keeping track of what I have to do on a whiteboard by my desk. It works well, and I like the feeling of erasing something when I’m done with it. However, I feel like I could be doing more. I’m going to write find a GTD system on my whiteboard.
Munchcast live →
Munchcast is probably Leo Laporte’s best podcast. This episode is about thanksgiving food. Surprisingly, only about 70% of the show is actually about food.
Who's a 20-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Lazy question for brainstorming purposes.
I’m pretty sure Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the 20-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The Gold Plan
I was reading about Boone Picken’s Plan and it makes a lot of sense. Basically he says we should stop most oil production and move our main sources of energy production to Wind, Solar and Natural Gas. The Natural Gas would be mostly used in industrial situations and for vehicles and Wind and Solar would power everything else. I’m over simplifying it, but it’s a great plan, that...
