Wife: When are you leaving?
Me: Soon. Well soonish. I’m in the middle of something and when I finish it I’ll leave. Shouldn’t take long.
Wife: That means nothing to me. What does that mean?
Me: Well… I’m trying not to be an ass-hole, seriously I don’t want it to sound like an ass-hole, cause I don’t mean it that way and say ‘The sooner I get off the phone the sooner I can leave.’
Cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve had this same conversation…

Nicely done, sir.
‘Mr. Rooney… Ed… you’re a beautiful man. I want to thank you for your warmth and compassion. ‘
I constantly listen to music during my work day, but I’m constantly struggling to find the right balance between loud, soft, fast, slow, distracting, not-distracting, etc. Inspired by today’s rainy day in San Francisco I’ve put together a Chillwave station on Pandora. You can listen to it …
This is really making the afternoon much better. Excellent stuff, Matt!

Having had Southern California Christmas’ for the past 26 out of 28 years, I would very much like this to happen soon or maybe I just need to take the family somewhere to experience this at Christmas.

Awesome idea! And good luck, Kirk…I’m going to try something. I’m not going to complain for 30 days. No petty nitpicking. No buts (not even in writing) and no, “I didn’t like it.”
I came to this idea on vacation when upon arriving in San Francisco for the first time in my life I literally said, “It’s nice, but it’s no New York.”…

Absolutely loved this book. Was my first reading of Gaiman and it was well worth it.
SoundCloud went down for a bit today, apologies for that.
For the sake of full transparency, this picture was taken in our situation room while working on getting the service back up and running.

I’m thinking this is going to be a new meme for companies..
By precipitating change, you’ll create value. Those that do this best will win.

Worlds colliding… It isn’t every day your CEO shows up on your Tumblr Dashboard…
Some days I feel like this…
This seems to be one of them. Bring it, Quixey!
I stood in a long line on an extremely hot June afternoon, waiting for the original iPhone. I got into the line around 2 and waited until the store opened at 6. I finally was allowed in around 6:30 or so and was one of the lucky ones. It was an amazing piece of hardware / software.
I haven’t upgraded to any of the new versions, always having the original one. No real reason for me to do this other than laziness, uncertainty about staying with AT&T and always waiting for the next ‘One More Thing.’ But all good things must come to an end. Last night I dropped the phone one too many times it seems and the home button would no longer work, plus the power cord wouldn’t go in all the way so no recharging.
It was time.
This morning, I headed back to the same AT&T store and in the span of 30 minutes, had a new iPhone 4. I came back home, plugged it into iTunes and soon I had everything back the way I wanted it. It truly is a pretty amazing world.
We have a number of startups in our portfolio that build iOS and Android apps.
To my knowledge, none of them pay for traffic to their apps.
But they constantly get pitched by different 3rd parties with the promise of better exposure and distribution in the app store.
Some offer to buy low cost…
This is one of the goals at Chomp. Making the playing field a bit more even for all developers, whether you are in the Top 25 or not. There are so many great apps out there, people need to be able to find them.
This is definitely the week for WFHWS, soon to be a hashtag somewhere!
Today and tomorrow, we have the quarterfinals of the Champions League and then Thursday and Friday, the first two rounds of The Masters. A comparable week was just a few weeks ago when you had Champions League action and then the first two days of March Madness.
Yay for laptops, wireless and long-lasting batteries!
… are real cops or just in costume.
I have this EXACT same problem!
