The truth about traffic on the internet

Sometimes it takes the mainstream media to come out and tell the truth: the Internet is over.
When I was at Microsoft, I used to get 200,000 hits when Slashdot linked to me. Now, traffic on the Internet is way down. The Daring Fireball post “A point-by-point debunking of Richard Scoobie’s latest bullshit claim, written with [...]

In Web 2.0, mass murder doesn’t have to mean mass media

Wow, it’s been a while!
I’ve been really busy cutting our last three videos down into a six hour “highlights” package for those of you who are too lazy to watch the full thing.
I have to address what Xeni has sensibly called the first Web 2.0 mass murderer. I mean, mailing your Quicktime videos to a [...]

PitchFest 07

Sitting here at PitchFest 07, I’ve just seen a demo that literally transcends language. The firm, Vodbodge, combines video clips, shopping, SMS and those little yellow highlight effects in a way that is totally cool, and I can’t explain.
Aren’t you glad you have me as your on-the-spot reporter?
Later I will upload a long video about [...]

Thanks Gunjian

Unrelatedly, I just learned that Gunjian Electric & Whalebone Corporation signed up for another sponsorship of the ScoobieCast. This means I can bring you another thousand hours of totally independent and unbiased tech conversations.

Do bloggers have the right not to link to me?

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among the A-list blogs. Very few of them linked to my exclusive four-hour video tour of Intel’s new chip plant, preferring instead to briefly mention that Intel has invented a new type of chip.
Admittedly my video wasn’t very interesting at first, but if you look closely at the 2:13 mark, [...]

Muslim

Oh yeah, I saw on memeorandum confirmation that Obama will be our first Muslim president, which I totally called last week.
Why doesn’t he have a MySpace or something for us to ask him about what being a Muslim is all about? Lame.

Meeting your heroes

An amazing day at the Bubble365 conference where I met my hero Robert X. Cringely. This is the guy who first predicted the Google Cube – you know, that TiVo/VoiP/iTunes replacement in a neat epoxy box that plugs into all your existing equipment and Google sends through the post for free… They don’t have those [...]

Only bloggers vote

I think we can all agree that getting the most blog links is going to determine who wins the next election. I mean, I followed the “white guy” candidate around for almost two days, before eventually some secret service guys asked me to leave. You can see the full completely unedited 40-hour video via my [...]

Racism is everywhere

You know what really pisses me off? It looks like Barack Obama is going to throw his hat into the ring. He’s in the running to become our first Muslim president, if I understand it correctly.
When I talk to people about it I do a clever little test – I throw in a racist remark [...]
