If Linked In’s view of contextual and personal relevance is state of the art, truly we are living in a deep fog.

“If I could have @lulitonix every day for the rest of my life, I would never crave other foods: the distinct flavors, textures, & variety. Of all the juice cleanses I’ve done this one is hands down the easiest, best tasting, & most filling. Basically I’m in love & there’s nothing I can do about it!;)”

Congrats to lulitonix on this!

In case you didn’t know, Zach Braff is making a new movie and it’s called Wish I Was Here.

It’s worth it if we get a soundtrack as good as Garden State. Best ever for a movie.

“The iPod era is reminiscent of MTV in the ’80s and early ’90s — what initially appeared to be a sea change in music presentation was actually just a transitional period between sea changes. When the history book about pop music delivery systems is written, MTV will be a footnote in a narrative about how radio was usurped by YouTube. MTV was a music-video channel for roughly a decade because technology hadn’t yet caught up with consumer demand.”

Was iTunes just a stopgap in the music-consumption revolution?

The best article I’ve ever read about consumer thinking toward music moving forward. This paragraph above was hard to read as as ’80s child weaned on MTV, but it’s completely true. We ain’t seen nothing yet. What this article doesn’t touch on, is sadly I believe the artist will still be short changed, making it near impossible to have a long-term and financially sustainable music “career”.

““The market will ultimately decide which apps rise or fall, and we have an obligation to give the riding public that choice,” David S. Yassky, the city’s taxi commissioner, said in a statement. “Thanks to today’s ruling, they have that choice.””

“Communication, in the age of mobile dominance, has become snack-size. And Facebook has concentrated the Internet’s social activity within its blue borders—like a Walmart siphoning off mom-and-pop spots. But never gone is the miraculous feeling of connecting with people far from our houses but close to our hearts.”

“We need to be angry and empathize with the victims without being scared. Our fears would play right into the perpetrators’ hands — and magnify the power of their victory for whichever goals whatever group behind this, still to be uncovered, has. We don’t have to be scared, and we’re not powerless. We actually have all the power here, and there’s one thing we can do to render terrorism ineffective: Refuse to be terrorized.”

Inspired by this. And I’m gonna run the fucking boston marathon next year.
