As if it’s not obvious from this early attempt to draw on my phone, I ran uphill through potholes in New Balance running shoes today (with hairy legs).

Some cool archive footage of Twincy followed by (starting around 1:30) implosions of buildings and bridges including the old High Bridge in St. Paul and the Met Center. Via Downhill Both Ways.

It sounds like Sen. John Thune has spent more time reading GOP talking points about the health care bill than the bill itself.

The list of items she will need to turn over includes a $60,000 fur coat, a $30,000 Harrison dog, $15,000 Chanel watch and ring and other properties.
— The “dude buys you a $60,000 fur coat and things don’t work out” theorem strikes again.

A Real Question

nickdouglas:

fimoculous:

If you wrote a post on your personal blog that had the effect of making someone look bad on Google (because their name is in it and they did something dicky that you were writing about), would you remove the post if they paid you enough?

How much? What if it were, say, $10K? More?

And if you did remove it, was it unethical?

I’d remove it for money if I couldn’t get more publicity and satisfaction from publicizing the indecent exposure, and as long as I thought I wasn’t breaking blackmail laws. Anyone with a personal blog who says otherwise is lying or Cory Doctorow.

I’d be tempted to write a blog post about someone offering me money to remove a blog post, which would probably end up out ranking the original blog post.

When EMI disabled the embedding feature, views of our treadmill video dropped 90 percent, from about 10,000 per day to just over 1,000.

OK Go’s Damian Kulash Jr. (via livejamie) (via nickdouglas)

This makes me wonder how many views (and, um, ad impressions) news sites are missing due to their video embedding disabilities.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I had a chance to talk about increasing the temperature of toilet water using my own pee during an East Lake Pub Crawl / roaming Flak Radio Podcast. A bar scene with a rowdy crowd and bingo in the background does not make for perfect acoustics. You’ll really want to have to hear this to put up with the noise.
