My friend Jenny at Gearlive wrote up my late grandmother Sarah Distenfield’s legendary pound cake recipe for their Food Squeeze section. This is the same recipe my gramma used to make the cake I brought as a gift to His Holiness The Dalai Lama in 1996 when I had a private audience and interview with… Continue reading Props To The Gramma Sarah Pound Cake Recipe

Good Things At Super Deluxe
A few recent things at Super Deluxe I really like: Bathing With Bierko: John Malkovich – This hits a comedy sweet spot for me. When done well, I like awkward-funny a whole lot.

On the upside, there were lots of fresh faces and more… Continue reading SXSW Recap: Bespoke Business Cards
Introducing Hashpip.es
At SXSW I had quite a few hallway conversations about what I consider the Twitter hashtag problem. As a constructive contribution to the ongoing discussion, in between sessions I threw together a way to strip out hashtags from Twitter a account and create a new, hashtag-free account using Yahoo Pipes and Twitterfeed. You can see… Continue reading Introducing Hashpip.es
Once A Nerd, Always A Nerd
I can’t wait for SXSW. Around this time last year I wrote about it being my first trip back after a six year hiatus, and it lived up to all of my expectations. One of the things I mentioned in that blog entry was all of the discussion around Ev Williams and Pyra Labs during… Continue reading Once A Nerd, Always A Nerd
