  • waxpancake: @Gizmopunk Until 2am! Bitshifter is up next, you should come by!

    06:23:01 am on March 17, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Achievement Unlocked: Crowdsurfed across 100 strangers' hands at a chiptune concert. (+125 XP)

    06:22:09 am on March 17, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Datapop is easily the best chiptune show I've ever seen. Totally worth crossing the river for. (Did I mention it's free?)

    04:39:58 am on March 17, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Datapop just kicked off, two days of chiptunes at The Highball, funded on Kickstarter. Really impressed by the music and visuals so far.

    02:09:04 am on March 17, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Paul Lamere is blowing minds here. Six-line Python scripts remixing Lady Gaga audio/video, causing audible gasps from the audience. #remix

    11:34:54 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Next up: Echo Nest's Paul Lamere on algorithmic music remixing in 18ABCD. (This should be good, DEVO was his opening act.)

    10:53:53 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Ben Fry just showed the human genome on a Nexus One. What would Deckard do?

    09:49:49 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: I ended up choosing #interinfo, ultimately an easy choice. I have a huge geek crush on every one of the speakers.

    09:33:28 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @nickdpi Me too.

    09:06:37 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: SXSW, I hate you for making me choose between a DEVO panel and @ben_fry, @stamen and @shancarter talking about interactive infographics.

    08:49:54 pm on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Ted Rall got a book deal from his Kickstarter project. Yancey rounded up some other post-project deals: http://bit.ly/93PBWz

  • waxpancake: Thrilled to see MC Frontalot at the Flamingo Lounge, with @brandonnn, @professorlemeza, @joeljohnson and the Metafilter crew. $8, cheap!

    04:36:55 am on March 16, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Twittering that I left the Twitter party. Too insane, now at the blissful new Ginger Man location with @anildash.

    05:16:38 am on March 15, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Baratunde Thurston made me cry in the first 60 seconds. I love Fray Cafe.

    03:15:27 am on March 15, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @PatrickRuffini Very sorry about that, I'll clear it out if I ever use the slide again. Thanks so much for making the screenshots available.

    11:52:48 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @toivotuo Absolutely, it's coming. Email me with what you'd like to see in the API?

    10:12:06 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @PatrickRuffini Percentages are much better, as long as low performers aren't put in the bottom 10%. Much less likely to be gamed, too.

    10:10:47 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Dan Ariely is fantastic. I mentioned Predictably Irrational in my talk, not realizing he was here and speaking right after me.

    07:16:29 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @PatrickRuffini Yeah, I found it in your Flickr stream. You had the only screenshot of their game mechanics online! I'll obscure your email.

    07:03:15 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Achievement Unlocked: Presentation Warrior -- Completed solo talk with no casualties (+150 XP)

    06:26:41 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: In the green room, gearing up for my 11am talk (room 6AB) on metagames, MTurk, Metafilter and other things I like that start with "m."

    04:29:16 pm on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Watching Moot and @textfiles kill it in a conversational talk on how 4chan's actually a game.

    12:16:21 am on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: RT @kickstarter Reminder to SXSWers: Kickstarter/Tumblr/Soundcloud/ThePlanet party tonight at Emo's 6:30pm. See you there!

    12:14:45 am on March 14, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Watching Ze Frank talk about emotional connections online, the first talk to drag me away from talk prep in the hotel.

    10:42:07 pm on March 13, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Stumbled into @nick and @avibryant waiting to fly out of Dallas, chatted about how Favrd and Tumblarity modified behavior on Twitter/Tumblr.

    11:21:23 pm on March 12, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Re: Formspring hoax. It seemed entirely believable that a provocateur would use a honeypot to challenge our ideas of anonymity/privacy.

    07:31:59 pm on March 12, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Fell for the Formspring fake AP article. My only defense is that I'm on my phone and Tweetie's browser doesn't show the current URL.

    07:23:29 pm on March 12, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: En route to PDX. If you're not headed to Austin, this might be a good time to mute me, 'cause it's all SXSW from here on!

    03:37:22 pm on March 12, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: "Just a heads up that Samsung Street Team wants to be your friend on Foursquare." Um, no.

    06:19:57 pm on March 11, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @bartitos @flatluigi Added both to the supercuts list, thanks.

    03:27:46 am on March 11, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: An Important Message from Ronald Reagan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pGbMJrXvLo

    07:44:26 pm on March 10, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @dbarefoot It's an Amazon requirement, and they haven't released a timeline yet for international support. We want it more than anyone.

    08:45:41 pm on March 8, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Valve just announced Steam for Mac, with simultaneous releases of Portal 2 and all their future games. http://bit.ly/d7mvP8

  • waxpancake: Loving these 8-bit maps of New York City built with OpenStreetMap: http://8bitnyc.com/ Help him expand to new cities: http://kck.st/aGJnqn

    08:49:49 am on March 8, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: The SXSW hotel room is gone now, sorry. (I guess I should've scalped the reservation on eBay.)

    07:20:35 am on March 5, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Don't worry, I'm still going to SXSW! I just don't need the hotel reservation anymore.

    04:56:24 am on March 5, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: SXSW friends: I have a Hilton Austin reservation for March 12-17 for $255/night. Email/IM me if you want it.

  • waxpancake: @MaroonedComics We're not aware of any Kickstarter downtime... Email or DM me with details? andy at kickstarter.com

    11:41:17 pm on March 3, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Met with Vimeo this morning. After years of watching Hardly Working videos, walking around the CollegeHumor cubes felt like being on a set.

    07:44:59 pm on March 3, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Yeasayer's joining the Polyphonic Spree in Uganda, but at 30% funded with nine days left, the project needs love: http://kck.st/9EEtoj

    10:15:21 pm on March 1, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: With the entire Kickstarter team in town for the first time, starting to think decentralization is only ideal for antisocial companies.

    09:43:33 pm on March 1, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Landed in snowy NYC for a week at Kickstarter HQ. Discovered @jonathancoulton on the plane while disembarking, always a good omen.

    09:18:17 pm on February 28, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: @danbruno I spent hundreds of lives on it, still couldn't get it. I may have to hire a professional to do it for me.

    03:07:30 am on February 28, 2010 |

     

  • waxpancake: Frustrated and sad, tried curing it by typing "happy" into Last.fm. First two songs were Tilly & the Wall and MMMBop, not a bad start.
