Michael Jackson rehearsing for the last time, two days before this death.  He’s doing the number for “They Don’t Really Care About Us” at the Staples Arena.  Man.  50, and able to still hit the mark and bust the freezes.  Insane.
"Indeed. Everytime you look at today’s economic landscape — you should see the Thriller video playing in your head. Because what we’ve built is a zombieconomy, where little net value is created."

Some sample news topic summaries:

New York: Wall Street. Fashion. The media capital of the world. Billionaires. Criminals. Mafiosos. Immigrants. Everything’s grand!

Los Angeles: Hollywood. Movie stars. Celebrities. Parties. Drugs. Bloods. Crips. Speidi. Beaches. Hippies. Weed. Glamor!

Chicago: Machine politics. Daley. Throwback Obama. Projects. Vice Lords. Second City. Jordanesque!

Miami: Vice. Cocaine cowboys. South Beach. Cubans. Jamaicans. Retirees. Cigarette boats. Money. Mosquitoes. Storms. Carl Hiaasen. Dave Barry. America’s landing strip!

Jordan? Vice Lords?! Apparently Gawker hasn’t visited Chicago or read news from here since 1992. Asshats.

Miami in this list?  Really?  Because of Dave Barry.  Oh, Knight-Ridder… Miami, a media capital?  Really?

Allow me to say at this time that marketing your new t-shirt via email probably wouldn’t have been the best strategy.  What you REALLY should’ve gone is put a bunch of them “in the AH.”
HAHAHAHAHA.  I kill me.

NYC FTW

mutations:

San Francisco or New York?

New York - Even though I’ve never been there.  I really want to live there, at least for a little while.  Everything about it seems incredible and busy and just perfect.  I’ve been to San Francisco quite often and know it pretty well, I’d like to think.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic city with lots of interesting people and fascinating things going on.

Although I have to say, NYC isn’t all that interesting when you get 31 flavors of jaded at age 18 after growing up there.

Calculate number of meeting attendees, guess the average salary of everyone in the room, and start the timer. Then then the meeting ends, it’ll tell you how much that meeting approximately costed the company! Haha!
A collection of essays from artists, designers, psycho-geographers, cultural researchers, futurologists and neuroscientists, to explore the political, social and cultural implications of visualizing intimate biometric data and emotional experiences using technology. The theme of this collection of essays is to investigate the apparent desire for technologies to map emotions.
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up"

TweetPsych uses two linguistic analysis algorithms (RID and LIWC) to build a psychological profile of a person based on the content of their tweets. It said that in my public Twitter account I use a lot of metaphors and tend to be abstract. Ha. No shit. My private account would probably be high in aggression.  Note:  Your Twitter stream must be public to use this.
