Tonight — my final night at the ETech conference — I attended the hyooge expensive big party Disney hosted for ETech attendees and speakers. Four hours of top-notch food, a big room, two bars… the works. Weird, swank. I went in with dear friend Scott Beale, and was delighted to see about an hour into…

I just want to reiterate: The Eye-Fi card totally sucks and is FAIL
Back when I had expendable cash, I purchased an Eye-Fi card, in hopes that I could liveblog parties and conventions/summits and events from my nice(er) camera than the phonecammy (but crazy reliable) Helio Ocean. I got it off Amazon, it worked once. In someone elses’ house; I tried to reconfigure it to work in *my…
[Video] Eddie Izzard on hacking and Mac computers
I’m about to run out and go be a guest on Internet Superstar, so I got myself in the right mood (feeling nervous, as usual) by watching this Eddie Izzard bit on hacking and computers. Enjoy!
Dear Apple
I don’t need to explain my long, torrid, explicit affair with your brand, iTunes podcast stats, and products. I just feel like our relationship is — in trouble. No, it’s not about your boss, I know authority is out of control in anyone’s workplace. And it’s not that we don’t talk anymore, or that I’m…
Redtube hacked (updates)
Update 2, 4:30 PST: Still up and down (heh) depending where you are, so it’s a catching/proxy issue? Depending on where you are, some RedTube URLs will redirect you to a site selling websapce (spamtabulousness). No reports of malware so far. Update: site’s back up, that was a quick fix the porn now flows freely…
Your easiest, sexiest Valentine’s Day evah: HOWTO make shareable, private sexy online wishlists
Agent Provocateur shot of Maggie Gyllenhall by Alice Hawkins, via. I got this idea, and then part of me was like, WTF — I hate these Hallmark holidays! Plus Valentine’s Day is still like three weeks away, so you’re probably wondering why I’m already thinking about it. I figured, the easiest way for people to…
MSM still ganking blog content, eh? It’s so cute!
The walls are weaker by the moment in the gated community of the fourth estate, but I still feel like us bloggers are the “shock troops” in this whole new media point in history. Point: Posted by Amy Gahran 1:00:37 PM Mini-Tidbits: Cribbing from Blogs? The blog Silicon Alley Insider is a little miffed at…
Blue + Jobs: The re-enactment
Image: a re-enactment of Steve Jobs telling me off. Location: the Pownce pre-launch party. Cast: Steve Jobs as played by Veronica Belmont; Katie Cotton as played by a PBR, a MacBook Air as played by Ariel Waldman, and Violet Blue as played by an anonymous inebriated blogger. Way better photos of us from the party…
This week’s column: So, I seduced a Mac geek
…or something like that. This week’s SF Chronicle column at their website SF Gate is me making naughty light of a certain situation — So, I Seduced A Mac Geek, snip: I spotted him from across the crowded Moscone West subterranean fortress of doom. As usual, the scent of burnt $15 hot dogs was already…
Macworld 2008: Underwhelmed!
And not just because Steve Jobs will be making my “worst” list in likability and celebrity acquiescence (read: making fun of a girl for asking for a photo won’t have him on Autograph Magazine’s top ten list of anonymous niceness anytime soon, like Johnny Depp always is). As if Jobs’ fans are as annoying as…
