"Opentape is a free, open-source package that lets you make and host your own mixtapes on the web." It's based on Muxtape, which has been shut down by the RIAA. - tiffany
Interesting. Although, I think part of the success of services like Muxtape was that people didn't have to take the risk of actually hosting the music they were sharing. I wonder how this will play out. - jbrotherlove
"This is an open letter to those white women who, despite their proclamations of progressivism, and supposedly because of their commitment to feminism, are threatening to withhold support from Barack Obama in November. You know who you are." ... I wish that some of these rabid Hillary supporters would read this, but I think it would go over their heads. - tiffany via Bookmarklet
I don’t claim to be a social networking expert, but as someone who has spent quite a bit of time thinking about end-to-end user experience and how companies can best use social services like Twitter to their best advantage, I decided to see how two of the biggest names in blogging use Twitter to support their brand identity. - tiffany
"Doctrine is a PHP ORM (object relational mapper) for PHP 5.2.3+ that sits on top of a powerful PHP DBAL (database abstraction layer). One of its key features is the ability to optionally write database queries in an OO (object oriented) SQL-dialect called DQL inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains a maximum of flexibility without requiring needless code duplication." - tiffany
"A recent study of 475 University of Michigan undergraduates ages 17 to 26 found that 27 percent of the men and 14 percent of the women who weren't in a committed relationship had offered someone favors or gifts -- help prepping for a test, laundry washing, tickets to a college football game -- in exchange for sex. On the flip side, 5 percent of the men surveyed and 9 percent of the women said they'd attempted to trade sex for such freebies." ... and this is news? - tiffany via Bookmarklet
"Sometimes, a site owner doesn't want their creation to be indexed by Google, and there are very simple tools for turning away its indexing bots. ... Google doesn't crawl the site, and its owner can sleep a little better knowing that Google respected their digital privacy.
In the real world, things like private roads and trespassing signs serve the same purpose as the tools Google provides for turning away its indexing robots; they are opt-out mechanisms from an earlier age. " - tiffany via Bookmarklet
"Clad in leather, inked to the hilt in skulls and dragons, with images of bloodied barbed wire looped about their necks, they shared something else — a peculiar tenderness for animals, and the intensity needed to act on the animals’ behalf when people abuse them." - tiffany via Bookmarklet
I always smile when I see people interact with animals in a good way. These dudes rock. - tiffany

do you know as long as i've been listening to this song, it took ye's verse on the remix for me to realize the song was about snorting at the club. - Lynne d Johnson
Really Lynne? Maybe it's the LA nightlife in me but I got it right off the bat. - Jason Toney
@Jason - yeah. unfoturnately -- i guess i was only half listening to the original version. i mean the hook makes it clear, but it didn't sink in until the remix. hey, i have people around me who still don't get what it's about. but seriously, it's a real sign that i have too much going on in my headspace -- i usually get shit -- quick. - Lynne d Johnson
you already know i love this interview. i think you (of most that were interviewed so far) really got how to use the IM to drive the conversation. - Lynne d Johnson
This reminds me that I need to follow up with my PR folks about doing the interview...although maybe we should wait. My title may be changing. - Jason Toney
"So what does this all mean? It means that JavaScript is no longer confined by the previously-challenging resource of processing power. With this improvement it's leap-frogged any sort of traditional and has gone head-to-head with computationally-powerful languages like C." - tiffany

"He — Ray Otero, superintendent, ordinary luckless guy — should have the cash, the car, the sexy Swedish girlfriend. The numbers alone demanded it: Last year, he spent $30,000 on the lottery. The winner, Richie Randazzo, spent a measly thirty bucks or so a week." - tiffany via Bookmarklet
WTH? Dude. $30K? On lottery tickets? You'd have far, faaaaaaar better luck in the stock market. Almost guaranteed return on your investment. Ray Otero is -- at least when it comes to money -- dumber than a box of Rice Krispies. - tiffany
"What exactly was he planning to do with 2,865 bicycles? ... The jumbled collection of bicycles suggests that Mr. Kenk is the unofficial world champion of bicycle thieves. But as he awaits trial next month on 58 charges related to theft and drug possession, the biggest mysteries of all are Mr. Kenk’s motives and his ultimate plan for the armada of steel, rubber and aluminum he amassed." - tiffany via Bookmarklet
