As you may have gathered from my tweets of late, I was given the amazing opportunity to play Jonathan Coulton’s song “Still Alive” on Rock Band with Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, and of course Jonathan! Horrifyingly, it was also on stage and in front of about 600 people at the Great American Music Hall here in San Francisco! I was on guitar (in the video, my part is on the right), Jonathan was on...

Google Processing 20,000 Terabytes A Day, And... →
A recent white paper by some Google engineers puts some numbers around the massive amount of computation that Google does every day to index the Web, process search results, and serve up ads, among other things. As oflast September, Google was processing 20,000 terabytes of data (20 petabytes) a day. This large-scale computing capability is a big part of Google’s competitive advantage over Yahoo,...

New Song - My Beige Bear →
This should give you some idea how much time I spend these days hanging out with a certain 2-year-old child. I’m generally forced to make stuffed animals talk to each other for several hours each day, so it’s no wonder this thing showed up in my creative output. You see, Beige Bear is the wisest of the animals, because he’s been around for a long time. He’s also well-loved, so he’s got a great...

39 years of Homer →
Now in its 19th season, The Simpsons is definitely past its prime. But every once in a while, the show will send me into hysterics. Last night, after Homer’s sisters-in-law (and nemeses) Patty and Selma pushed him from a bridge, the past 39 years of Homer’s life flash …
Encouraging people to contribute knowledge →
Posted by Udi Manber, VP Engineering The web contains an enormous amount of information, and Google has helped to make that information more easily accessible by providing pretty good search facilities. But not everything is written nor is everything well organized to make it easily discoverable. There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are...
Postini looks back on 2007 →
Posted by Adam Swidler, Product Marketing Manager, Postini For years now, anti-spam efforts have been like a game of checkers played at night. The bad guys make their move, Postini responds, and the majority of our customers are pleasantly oblivious to the fact that as much as 90 percent of their incoming mail is spam. This year, it became a game of chess. Data from Postini data centers shows that...

McDonald’s restaurants in the UK have put license-plate cameras in their drive-through parking lots. The cameras watch how long you eat for; if you go over 45 minutes, a fine is sent to your house automatically, charging you £125, and if you don’t pay, the fine goes up and up and up.
The company that manages McDonald’s car parks, Civil Enforcement, also works with a string of...

Cellphones’ genocide of pay phones just leveled up: AT&T will be totally out of the pay phone business by the end of next year. It’s a hard blow to a long languishing subset of communication hardware that was eulogized way back in ‘03 by schmucky Joel Schumacher’s Phone Booth. There are about a million pay phones left, down from a peak 2.6 million in 1998. What’s...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, steampunk stuff is tired. Just add some bronze, a few gears, and we’ll automatically post about it, right? Well, I’ll tell you what. You take a laptop, add some bronze and gears to it, and make something as incredible as Doc Datamancer’s Steampunk Laptop. I’m guessing you couldn’t do it, because this thing is a work of art. This isn’t merely an...

MoneyBank: Banpresto Facebank Eats Up Coins, is...
Banpresto is straight up bonkers, but we love them for all their perplexing wackiness. The Facebank is no exception; it is the coin crunching equivalent of a piggy bank, drop a coin in its mouth—there was no other way to say it—and it will chew it up, and then send it down its pseudo esophagus into its money tummy. Hit the video for a demo. The cash cruncher will cost you $29.99, which means...
Highly Entertaining: Realtors Suing Other Realtors
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman said that “Real Estate is by far the most screwed up industry in America.” That may or may not be true, but one thing is certain: a lot of people have had negative experiences with realtors and wish there was a better way to buy and sell houses. And whenever we write about how screwed up that industry is, the realtors come out and start...
