microMARKETING as fashion statement

Jane Quigley (@jquig99 on Twitter) snapped a shot of me wearing my new microMARKETING custom Nike's for the first time. These kicks match the book jacket (kinda) and are super comfortable. And no, my jeans aren't that short - I was hiking the legs so the custom inscription would show.

buzz at eleven

My take on Buzz so far? *yawn*

But we'll see. In the meantime, if Google hasn't turned you on yet, you missed the announcement or haven't yet grown tired of the knee-jerky blog posts alternately slamming it as lame or presenting it as a social media game changer, this here is Google's official demo clip that shows how the thang works.

six years in the book of face

All y'all probably know Facebook turned six last week. This handy dandy infographic from Mashable captures all the fun and funky stats about the site. It's pretty much illegible as an embed but you can click to Mashable and get to the full size image for the deets.

you had me at 'personal robots'

Killer highlight reel of 1983's most awe-inspiring new gadgets: from portable cassette decks and palm-sized TVs to betamax recorders and (wait for it) personal robots "literally with minds of their own." Where do I get in line for one of those?

Bonus points for perms and special effects.

the many species of geek

I see myself falling into a few of these - thankfully NOT 'dewey decimal system' though.
