kindanotreally:
YouTube continues to reign supreme over other online video sharing properties and this week’s announcements of extending time limits and increasing file sizes on uploaded videos should help it counter burgeoning properties like Hulu and Joost.
Of course they are also trying to host more original content in order to make the website a destination for longform content as well.

DLO has a question - is originality dead?
was reading about this really popular sony bravia TV ad and the rumors that the concept was “inspired” or jacked from an LA based artist kozyndan. it sparked the question of whether the ad was as amazing even if the creaters were aware of kozyndan’s work, or whether it was less valuable because the execution isn’t necessarily completely original. with the internet,...

this is really interesting. I think we all sort of know that sleep is important for the body, but there are some subtle points in this article that show how sleep can actually improve your memory (not just maintain it) and potentially help you lose weight!

boston's achilles project
so was in Boston yesterday, and a friend took me to this pretty cool spot last night for dinner. it was a retail setting slash restaurant. reminded me of 202 in Chelsea (NYC), but a little more modern and contemporary. they even had Nintendo Wii setups!! can’t beat dinner, sneaks, art, and a little Mario Kart. anyhow, the space is supposedly eco-conscious, has interesting tables and...

IKEA brooklyn is almost here!
so I was walking home and saw this clever bus shelter IKEA ad. they basically stuffed a cardboard box in the bus shelter with copy printed on it announcing the arrival of a new IKEA in brooklyn. now we won’t have to take the dreaded trip to the dirty jerz to get cheap futons.
Religulous Trailer ft. Bill Maher →
a friend’s gf’s best friend used to date Bill Maher. she was a stripper in her spare time. so it’s weird when I watch him on the TV screen, because even though he has some pretty insightful remarks concerning the state of this country and world, it’s hard to take him seriously he’s basically a pot smoking pimp! he has no real “street cred” in my eyes.
HP Unveils New Touch-Screen Desktops →
sounds like a really interesting product. although, it would be a shame to have such well designed computer, but with such a poorly designed software system aka Windows Vista! I think the lesson we’ve learned from the iPhone, is that great technology has to go hand in hand with an intuitive/easy-to-use software interface. the iPhone doesn’t necessary do anything completely...
Watchis the DJ dead??? jermaine dupri thinks so. I kind of agree with him, but not fully. with blogs, myspace, imeem, etc etc. all of these avenues for regular people to find out about music and hear new material, the major role of the DJ has been eliminated. no longer are they primary music distributors and tastemakers. But, just in the same way that music artists have adapted to decreasing song...
Watchnas be a n@#$er too. wow. just a tad bit controversial. political. racial. everybody is hailing lil wayne right now, but give credit to nas for sparking a much needed conversation about the state of this country. but perhaps he’s beating a dead horse.
