My Predictions – Unicorn Edition

The day of days is upon us, so I thought I’d do a quick run-down of the various rumors that have been bandied about. I’m also going to give my estimation on the likelihood of said prediction coming true.

Winer Swings and Misses…Again

I’m bored, and the non-stop torrent of Apple Unicorn rumor-mongering interests me not one bit; so I think I take some time to point out yet another example of Dave Winer’s ongoing campaign to prove that he knows fuck-all about technology. I’ve written about this before, but this example was too good to pass up.

New Media Doucheparty

Are you fucking kidding me?

I Love Dave Winer

I really do. It’s almost a certainty that at least once a week he will grind out a blog post that amuses me. The latest case in point is this one. In the post, Dave explains that he wants some “no-frills” hosting and gives a laundry list of the features that he requires. The funny [...]

Today’s New Media Douchebag Moment…

There is much that is fundamentally wrong with Joe’s piece, but I don’t [...]

A New Low For TechCrunch

Gods know I hate TechCrunch. Fuck, they’re probably responsible for at least a third of the material for the Angry Mac Bastards podcast. But yesterday, TechCrunch and Erik Schonfeld sank to an abysmal new low.

In the article, which is so disjointed and pointless that it makes the average third–grader’s book report look like a master’s [...]

Terminology Matters

Everyone’s favorite cranky old jackass Dave Winer is all a’flutter about Wordpress and Tumblr implementing the Twitter API in a post titled How open standards are created. The meat of his post is a bunch of typical Winer bullshit about how wonderful it is that Wordpress and Tumblr have implemented the Twitter API (which is [...]

Old Media Douchebag

Nothing warms the cockles of my dark heart more than seeing the “Old Media” shiv “New Media” in the kidneys.
