just learned that if you find the right corporate sponsor, you can get a phd studying the noises that cats make while eating cat food.
Note: Drunk sociologists are a lot more fun than sober sociologists.

thinking of switching from Apple Mail to Pine.
…other than that, [Uniqlo’s] clothes say almost nothing: no logos, no design flourishes, no distinguishing marks. Uniqlo’s advertising rarely tries to inject a particular statement or identity into the brand, unlike the hipster sex of American Apparel or the “classic” preppie vibe of The Gap. Uniqlo is basically a Pantone-hued commodity, making it... - http://finalbossform.com/post...

Dramatic Chinese News Virtual Re-enactment of Tiger Woods’ Hydrantgate. According to Tricia, the Taiwanese news does this kind of melodramatic 3D reenactments of “news” events all of the time. I am either moving to Taipei or getting myself a KyLin box. via metafilter - http://finalbossform.com/post...

nice reply by @thinkgeek on @ptorrone's MAKE post. http://blog.makezine.com/archive... I won't have to burn my nine year old 'got root?' t-shirt after all.
Feeling sentimental about the old @rocketboom office. :-) http://finalbossform.com/post...
The old office, empty. I stopped by the old Rocketboom space today to finish closing the office. It was a 1200 square foot 4th floor walk up in SoHo (the elevator worked on good days.) When we talked about it as a staff yesterday, none of us were feeling very sentimental. Today, I can’t help but think of everything we were able to get done in this... - http://finalbossform.com/post...

I stopped by the old Rocketboom space today to finish closing the office. It was a 1200 square foot 4th floor walk up in SoHo (the elevator worked on good days.) When we talked about it as a staff yesterday, none of us were feeling very sentimental. Today, I can’t help but think of everything we were able to get done in this space.
 
 
20 months ago, Rocketboom was just four of us (plus a host named Joanne.) We had taken what was arguably the first famous web video series and operationalize it, reinforce the foundation, and turn it into a platform that was able to handle multiple productions and projects, simultaneously.
 
This is the place where we helped Sarah launch Pop17. It’s where we developed Ellie’s show, Rocketboom Tech. And it’s where Andrew greenlit what was a hobby of Jamie, Ellie, and mine and let us turn it into a fully supported web series and community site called Know Your Meme. Most importantly, imo, this is where Magma was born. Along the way, we’ve added new staff, replaced some, and continued to build what we think is a damn good organization.
 
1200 square feet. Yeah, it’s not much even by New York standards, but it was big to us at the time. It was all the space we needed to survive some lean years and flourish, to turn a team of 4(+1) into a staff of ten with a family (freelancers, interns, and contributors) over three times that in size.
 
 
About a year into our term, that 1200 sq. ft got cramped. Jamie and Greg moved to the west coast to open ‘Rocketboom San Francisco’. Chris (who’s always been remote) administers Know Your Meme from Minneapolis. And in New York, we’re working on our next move, securing a space 2-3 times as big as our previous one.
 
I’m going to miss this space. And I can’t wait for our space to feel cramped again.

@Clintus How the heck did that happen? Is there an I.O.U. btw D'Antoni and your Suns that I don't know about?

PROTIP: When moving an office, factor in an extra hour or two if your elevator operator is an alcoholic.

In Steve’s words:
  
“At the TV Critics Press Tour in August, we interviewed Sesame Street. I was so dumbstruck by watching Maria, Grover, and Cookie Monster, that I ACTUALLY REACHED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA to adjust audio levels on a mixing board we borrowed.
 To say this is an incredibly stupid thing to do is an understatement. Grover noticed.”
   
I laughed so hard at this that my sides hurt.
