OK Go: This Too Shall Pass (Embedded Video)

After reading the letter on Gizmodo from Damian of OK Go, I have decided to do a post where I embed this video.  Major labels and corporations have this tenuous relationship with social media – clamoring for its attention while simultaneously doing crap-like things that dissuade the consumer from telling others what they like.  Read the letter and learn about how you can’t embed YouTube videos.  I’m a big fan of OK Go – one of the best concerts I’ve ever had in my life featured them.  It was at a rinky-dink dive bar in Hollywood where they ran down to the floor and did a live recording.  So here’s their latest song – This Too Shall Pass.

Finding Doors

My internet light was not included for awhile (okay...this picture is from 1995, but you get the dramatic idea!).

For over an hour I tackled my lack of internet, this after basking in everything being so easily set up just a couple of days before.  Problem was I knew what was wrong, I just didn’t know exactly how to “find the doors” to fix them.

For the foundation of things, I was using my modem/router from my previous residence – that was obviously set up with the previous residence’s settings.  This is fine when it involves things like the router and wireless connectivity of the computers – in fact that was perfect.  But there’s this thing called modem settings and having the right username/password.

When Apple announced the iPhone 3GS earlier this month, along with the ooh’s and ahh’s were some hefty fees for AT&T’s bevy of current iPhone 3G users if they wanted to upgrade.  While LA Times Tech Blog recently reported that ‘AT&T Relents on iPhone 3GS upgrade pricing‘, the situation itself reveals that the iPhone has changed expectations and is waiting for things to catch up.

Washington DC: Photos

Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial

Having completed my recent whirlwind trip to Washington DC, the following is a slideshow of my Flickr photos.  More about my trip later when I’ve had time to gather my thoughts.

I’m mostly doing it this way first because my brain is all scrambled.  I went to so many places!

Shifts in Facebook: Commenting on Wall Posts

Facebook Shifting Borders?

Facebook Shifting Borders?

The other day my friend Ian and I were having a facebook wall conversation and it wasn’t until he commented on my message on his wall that I realized you could comment on that as well (hey…there’s some things I don’t pay attention to :) ).

As my friend Bobby just did the same thing earlier (commenting on my wall post), I write this post being all kinds of  divided.  Is this the end of the wall-to-wall?  It makes sense because then the conversation follows on your profile where it began and you can see the exchange of things.  But then, I feel that you miss that element of two people on different profiles talking to each other.
