““Writing is a deep-sea dive. You need hours just to get into it: down, down, down. If you’re called back to the surface every couple of minutes by an email, you can’t ever get back down. I have a great friend who became a Twitterer and he says he hasn’t written anything for a year.””

Kid Cudi: "Pursuit Of Happiness" f. MGMT & Ratatat (Alternate Video):

Like most people I think I want MGMT to die in a fire I’m so sick of hearing them, but this video for Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” is pretty neat.

Since his ratty appearance on the Oscars last night many people are asking what the hell happened to Judd Nelson.

““Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do,” he says. “I’ve been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am. So all the Pitchforks in the world can try to strip me of every ounce of dignity, but I belong.””

I think people find LiliPUT either awesome or annoying. I lean more towards the awesome side as I think I like everything I’ve heard them play.

Listen to some of their music here. My dog also used a song of theirs (Hitch Hike) in the movie she directed.

Okay, that’s it.

My office’s obsession with ChatRoulette must end now*. We’re starting to put ChatRoulette into the stuff we make for our clients. Like this one: our weekly recap of 24. This can only end badly.

(For a much clearer version check out the video on Facebook. Not sure what the blurriness is about)

*this is lie. ChatRoulette4Ever, dudes!

We Live In Public finally comes out on DVD today. I cannot express enough how much ass this documentary kicks. I consider myself a pretty versed in internet history/culture/ and all around web fuckery, but the stuff I saw in this movie just made my head spin. I guess I had no idea what was really going on. Most of the action takes place over ten years ago, in a time when we were just beginning to figure out what it means to live our lives online, in view of thousands of people on our blogs or webcams. This doc is a cautionary tale about the loss of privacy, about what it means to put too much of your life online, about how going too far too fast can sometimes be too much. The most frightening thing about all these tales - and this documentary is just one of many - is that in ten years time we really haven’t learned anything about the perils of over-sharing, and more hilariously, we just don’t care.

See the trailer here.

Buy the DVD here.
