boxee writes about my new app “L8R”. Check it out on boxee, and at http://l8r.cc. Start tagging videos on del.icio.us using the tag “L8R” and they’ll be waiting for you there.
To quote boxee quoting me:
I built L8R to solve a real problem I was having; finding videos online during the day, and not having the time to watch them. Rather than having to bookmark each...

Slim Jims Factory Blows Up! →
A North Carolina food processing plant that makes spicy Slim Jims™ beef jerky snacks exploded this morning. Is any meat-eating American really surprised?
Haz-Mat teams are on site to deal with Tabasco ammonia leaks. About ten people are being treated for inhalation of fumes (ouch) and 12 workers are unaccounted for.

Blinded By The Past (Technology Adoption)
The key question isn’t whether something has been be done before, but rather, why it failed. Being “too early” is the often not the cause, and we see the same ideas fail time after time because the core deficiencies aren’t addressed.

Maximus / Minimus →
And we have another exciting new food truck as well: Maximus/Minimus, from the same people that bring us Beecher’s Handmade Cheese. The speciality of M/M is a pulled pork sandwich, with either “Maximus” or “Minimus” BBQ sauces.
And, oh yeah, the truck is shaped like a giant pig!

Search Evolution
One of the things I find most exciting is Google’s announced support of microformats, including hReview, for “Rich Snippets”. This allows sites like Yelp, Avvo, and TeachStreet, to expose their respective high-quality data about restaurants, lawyers, and instructors, and have it bubble up into Google search. The sites get the traffic, google gets the data, and the consumer finds...
CenterNetworks Meetup Tomorrow (6/2/2009)
Allen Stern, who runs CenterNetworks, a NYC-based tech blog, is in Seattle for the SMX conference, and I’m helping organize a little meetup tomorrow evening.
Where & When: Paddy Coyne’s, South Lake Union, 6pm
This will likely be a nerdy/startupper meetup, so if that’s you, come join us.
If it’s not you, don’t worry, we’ll have another non-exclusively...
Foodie
I hear you karion, I do. As open of a palate as I have (which is to say I’ll eat anything twice), I have one very irrational distaste, for an item that is arguably foundational to nearly every cuisine: I hate onions!
I especially hate raw onions, and if I have to pick the raw red onions off a burger, I’m sad the whole day because I can smell them on my fingers. If I see the word...
