3 Years of Movie-Watching Data →
Great example of using personal data to learn more about yourself self.  Also a good example of another film lover cutting the cord. via ksen: Larger view —- Notes: Total number of movies watched 2009 = 295 2010 = 365 2011 = 226 I watch a lot of movies on my iPod and Hulu while at work (a lot of my job is collecting data and I need to keep my mind occupied through podcasts and film). ...

– Commenter J.d. Free on today’s story about the PC market’s miserable holiday season. I feel this way about how most of the tech media cover the market, but not all growth through innovation is at the expense of other businesses… (via cnnmoneytech)

The Dubious Assumption Underlying SOPA →
via Tim O’Reilly: In the entire discussion, I’ve seen no discussion of credible evidence of this economic harm. There’s no question in my mind that piracy exists, that people around the world are enjoying creative content without paying for it, and even that some criminals are profiting by redistributing it. But is there actual economic harm?

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: Enough with the giant... →
The iPhone takes a lot of flack from tech blogs for maintaining their smaller screen size, but I like the ability to use my phone using only one hand and being able to reach over 90% of the screen using only my thumb.  I think the UI designers at Apple already know these advantages though… via cnnmoneytech: All these huge new phones are giving me a bad case of “smartphone thumb.” The...

via brewnoob: It’s been said that people often vote for the candidate they would want to share a beer with, and the same might be true in Iowa during the caucuses, where alcohol isn’t explicitly prohibited (but generally frowned upon) during the voting process.  Here’s a clip of Rick Santorum drinking beer in Iowa, trying a “dark wheat beer” for the first time at a local brewer, affirming that...

via dpstyles: Anyone catch the pseudo @foursquare shoutout on South Park last night? You be the judge on whether it’s legit or not… :) Feels a lot like the pseudo-Simpsons shoutout from October 9, but this one feels a little more obvious :)

Every day on Tumblr I share the best memes, infographics, viral...

At my friend’s holiday party, I helped set up a photobooth for friends to take their own holiday portrait.  Then we edited it into a short video montage of photobooth photos.  Happy Holidays and warm wishes for the new year!

Warm wishes for the Holidays! →
I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy holidays, and a happy new year in 2012! Once again I’m home for the holidays in St. Louis, but I’ll be back in New York City in time to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Every year I create a Very Indie Xmas mixtape of holiday songs that are a bit more unique than what is played on commercial radio and in shopping malls. This year I’m sharing these...
