Hulu was the answer watching television online in one media centric hub. You logged onto the site, selected your favorite shows and let the service keep up with what you miss in the real-world, for most almost everything. Being able to maintain your favorite shows in a single location and watch them from anywhere was a huge shift in how we consume media. Not quite as life chaning as the MP3 but...

The journey to my new office is underway.
I am reminded every day I read the news of how vicious and self centered our world is.

Deep down we all knew it was a matter of time. Having been a huge Nokia fan for a long time, until recently of course, this is slightly upsetting. The truth is Nokia has been fighting change, assuming people would be fine as long as the handset had Nokia written on it. I watched first hand as dedicated owners started giving up on the Symbian platform one by one. We were promised changes and...

Thanks to a spill-free children’s cup I have milk poured all down my car seat. They work great it appears.

parislemon:
I remember Kickstarter first really coming on my radar two years ago when Diaspora, the would-be open Facebook alternative, shot past $50K in crowd-sourced funding.
They would eventually raise over $200K — the power of the Internet, and all that.
