My favorite part of the trailer for Contagion. I like to imagine her motivation was thinking about making out with Michael Douglas in A Perfect Murder.

A true tale of inspiration.

On Bin Laden Killing Tech Blogging

The information in the image above is not surprising at all. But still pathetic.

Imagine that, you write 35 200-word posts featuring the words “Bin Laden” in the headline and they pull in traffic on the day it’s one of the most searched terms ever.

Were any of those stories really about technology? A few, maybe. But none were given the actual attention that a story of such magnitude deserves. It was a pure traffic/SEO play.

Read More

In my dream world, there is a Panda-esque update to Google that essentially knocks down any content with keywords featuring the top 100 terms in Google Trends that has been created in the past 24 hours — outside of a few, vetted outlets. Would this be unfair? Yes. Would it make the Internet a VASTLY better? Also yes.

FUCKING NOPE.

“The ideal candidate will be equally passionate about writing real wedding features and restocking magazines at bridal fairs.”

Also, there’s probably a joke in there about Brides magazine being unwilling to spring for a full-time position.

Modern Logic Puzzles:

You are attending the wedding of your ex-girlfriend and Charlie. It’s a lovely ceremony. She cries a bit at the altar. You have a 5-cup thermos and a 3-cup thermos, and a large Costco bottle of Popov in the trunk of your rental car. You know from experience that it takes exactly 4 cups of vodka before you can’t process emotions. How do you measure out precisely 4 cups of Popov?

Paying For The Times At SXSW

Paying For The Times At SXSW:

David Carr at The New York Times

When I was in Austin, I would fall asleep each night to bad dreams, prompted by cable ranting that the world was melting down, principally in Japan. And each morning I would wake up to reporting that described in very careful detail what was actually known, not feared, about the nuclear crisis in Japan. Throughout the day, I checked my alerts to make sure the world was not ending imminently. Tellingly, I never picked up a copy of the paper, reading it on the new iPad where The Times is a living thing and the better for it.

People, real actual people, went and got that information, some of it at personal peril and certainly at gigantic institutional expense. So The Times is turning toward its customers to bear some of the cost. The Times is hardly alone: AFP, Reuters, Associated Press, Dow Jones, BBC and NPR are all part of a muscular journalistic ecosystem. But it seems an odd time to argue against a business initiative that aims at keeping boots on the ground during a time of global upheaval.
