This morning, I woke up and read Nick Bilton’s weekly New York Times’ column. Nick is a friend and one of the best bloggers/writers/journalists out there. But with today’s column, he was way off base.
Having already said what I wanted to say about the Path situation, I debated if I should weigh in again. Then I read Nick’s column again. There’s a way to say what he wants to say,...
“We were so mad when the Komen Foundation pulled its funding for breast cancer...”
– I’m not okay with Chris Brown performing at the Grammys and I’m not sure why you are
“He leaves his cellphone and laptop at home and instead brings “loaner” devices,...”
– NYTimes, “Electronic Security a worry in an age of Digital Espionage”
It would be pretty cumbersome to get used to a process like this. I already struggle “packing light” a-la-up-in-the-air when I travel for work. To add the headache of dissociating my mobile devices…...
Little sister: Lacey, you had the chance to get to know Jeremy Lin [he went to HS adjacent to mine] AND Mike Posner [Duke '10] and you've failed at both... now you've blown your chance to be Austin Rivers' favorite fan by tweeting "I WANT YOUR BABIES"

“The outrage is tiresome and deeply hypocritical, in all the tiresome ways you’ve...”
– Sasha Frere-Jones

I realize the connotations of my word choice - “mail-order bride.” It evokes images of men gleaning websites for their future spouses, much...
“‘“I expected to see a lot of women in St. John suits and expensive...”
– On the private dinner parties that Ms. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, throws.
Vilified, glamorized, or overtly feminist… however the media portrays the sharp-shooter female tech execs in the valley, it is what it is. They rock and there’s a lot of them.

Amidst my snark, there are a few high level things about Facebook’s numbers that I find interesting.
