Jason Scott's Weblog
So back in November I got a Nintendo Wii. Actually, I grabbed a latte (which I don’t often do), and drove around like an idiot on November 19th, Wii Day, to try and get a Wii from the stores. The first one had 140 people waiting for 120 Wiis. The next had 15 people waiting […]
Don’t ever call again. But if you do: If you’re going to leave a message on my phone about how you can help textfiles.com with marketing, be sure to clarify to me whether: you’re asking me to whore out my users to whatever money-waving Johns you intend to send my way you’re seeking to sidle […]
M.C. Frontalot, a “nerdcore hiphop” rapper who I have come to admire very much, has just let me know that the trailer for the Nerdcore documentary has been released. If you’ve not had the pleasure of listening to work by M.C. Frontalot, then you’re in luck, because his website has a large variety of MP3s […]
When I finished work on the BBS Documentary and said I was going to make a couple more, one of my pithy remarks was that I liked pretty much everything about the BBS Documentary except the video and the sound. What I meant was that I’d shot everything on the run with a Canon XL-1 […]
So, a little more detail on GET LAMP, with some other information on ARCADE as a bonus. I have enough new visitors for the moment to mention that besides killing puppies and melting the eyeballs of the html-challenged, I am also involved in making a couple documentaries. I made one a little while ago, found […]
Did I mention I went to a Maid Cafe in Toronto this holiday? No, I guess I didn’t. This place called the iMaid Cafe got all sort of weblog interest over the past few months, with people flipping out about, in order: There are things called “Maid Cafes” in Japan There are lots of them […]
Well, that was pretty frisky. I wrote a perhaps-ill-advised entry about having fun with myspace and hotlinking images and got visited by 78,000 individuals in less than 12 hours. The lesson is clear: talk more about goatse. My staff will get right on that. I can always tell when this weblog gets outside of the […]
The summary is this: I am co-hosting a demoparty called BLOCKPARTY in Cleveland, Ohio at the end of April 2007. It will be an awful lot of fun and you should strongly consider attending. The website contains all the details you need. The rest of this entry are my thoughts on this project, what the […]
OK! Back in February of 2006 I created an entry about five predictions I had for Wikipedia before the end of the year. It’s January 1st, and let’s see how I did. The theme of the outcomes is “depending how you look at it”. While it’d be nice to claim I totally nailed things, I […]
Here are some one-offs before the end of the year, for ideas or stuff that just doesn’t add up to a single entry. (In case anyone notices, I take the policy on here that I never post more than once a day, and I try to make each entry a complete self-contained idea, and worth […]
