Toad the Wet Sprocket @ Mountain Winery (Saratoga, CA)

August 18th, 2006 · No Comments

Last night I saw one of my favorite bands from the 90′s – Toad the Wet Sprocket – at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. I’ve seen Glen Phillips a couple of times in the last few years but I had never seen Toad play live until last night. Overall it was a great show. The band sounded great and the venue was perfect.

Here’s some VERY rough audio from the show, recorded with the voice recorder on my digital camera:

1999 called…

August 7th, 2006 · No Comments

In case anyone is wondering why I’m being credited with the title of this post on Supr.c.ilio.us, that phrase was from a comment that I made on Techdirt a few days ago…

1999 called, it wants it’s bubble back.

The comment was related to Business Week’s recent cover story hyping Web 2.0 companies.

More on the BusinessWeek article here (BusinessWeek blog) and here (Valleywag: Kevin Rose talks about the cover).

Snakes on a Plane – personalized message

August 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

OK, this might be the coolest marketing idea ever. It’s a personalized message about the upcoming Snakes on a Plane movie in the voice of Samuel Jackson. It will actually dial the phone number of the recipient and he will address them by their name, mention their job, how they look, what kind of car, they drive, etc.
