It’s really no secret that I love 37signals. I religiously use their products and I like to think that we run our company very much the same way they run theirs. That’s why when SoulPancake was mentioned on the 37signals Product Blog, I was almost more excited than when we were profiled on ABC’s Nightline.

In September, the entire SoulPancake founding team got together at Rainn’s house to spend some quality time together… Nightline was there to film most of it. Visit this page to

Below is a video with the almighty Rainn Wilson visiting Jay Leno. I trimmed the video down to the start and end point for when SoulPancake is talked about.

This is a great PSA about cycling and impatiently running red lights. As a daily cyclist myself, I try and keep the red light shortcuts down to a minimum. But I suppose now every time I think about it, I’ll be reminded of this cute little lego man being obliterated.

Normally upgrading operating systems isn’t a task people find fun or exciting. For that reason, among others as well as fear of change, I still know many folks running Tiger, and in some extremes, OS 9.

With Leopard, those waiting to upgrade their operating system had a bit more cushion. In most cases, Tiger was still being supported, and people who were delaying the leap to Leopard could still get by, albeit a bit more slowly. The user interface changes Leopard employed when compared to Tiger, were a bit more drastic in comparison to Apple’s most recent OS release.

Snow Leopard, builds directly upon OS X’s progressive interface changes that Apple made with Leopard. So upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard shouldn’t confuse even the most novice mac user. The single, snazziest new “feature” is that Exposé found some intelligence. Instead of opening all of your windows in a single row, Exposé now understands a few more levels of what windows belong to what application. Additionally, some tools in simple navigation and control of your open windows have been added. All in all, it’s arguably the flashiest new addition to Apple’s entire OS release, but not even close to the most important.

Not much to say about this one, I opened the carton and there it was. The largest egg I have ever seen in my life!

One of my great friends Tom Fite found this original pie chart on this blog. Since the quality was so bad, but the chart was so incredibly amazing, I decided to enhance it a bit and make it readable.

Checkout this cattle dog laying on the horn outside the grocery store… Clearly he got way too impatient and figured out how to use the fracking horn!

Over at SoulPancake, there’s some hilarious yet amazing stuff going on with Rainn, and Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. Digest this video below, and then dive into the discussion.

I know this man, let’s call him Andre. He is older than me, but not by much. All his life he’s been viewed as a relative genius by the people surrounding him. He’s great with his mind when it comes to inverted and closed off self expression. But it has reached the point where these “talents” mean nothing without a solid foundation.

If you’re not familiar with Digg.com, here’s the jist… Members of the site find good content from around the web, other Digg members then vote it up or down, if a story gains popularity it makes the homepage, thus resulting in national exposure.

In theory this sounds like a great concept. However, sites primarily driven by user generated content can quickly turn into a sticky mess of bullshit. When these same sites are centered around an ever-revolving popularity contest that has absolutely no meaningful or stimulating interaction at all, they implode…
Welcome to Digg.

I hold a deep passion for martial arts. Many people may not know that in a previous life I studied to be a black belt for about 5 years. I’m

While checking in at SoulPancake today, I was turned onto SIA for the first time by SoulPancake user coffeeyesplease. The intriguing discussion can be found here and has some great music discovery if anyone’s interested in finding some new stuff.
