Talk about Fast: ismichaeljacksonalive.com

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

There’s already a site called ismichaeljacksonalive.com and the site is just a big fat NO

Now that is fast and rather intersting. Wonder if there’s anyway to learn from this that doesn’t involve celebrity gossip, death, or spam

Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtle Rooms

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Tomorrow we’re holding a Presentation Camp at SlideShare, basically it’s a mini-informal conference about giving presentations. Yes I’m working on Saturday, but there will be some cool people there that I’m actually excited to meet. Plus it’s a startup, just par for the course.

Anyways, while we were doing some of the setup, Rashmi asked me to label our rooms, Room A, Room B, etc. But then she decided, that was too boring. My solution? To use the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. We have four rooms, there are four ninja turtle/ It’s just perfect!

So yes, if you’re coming to PresoCamp the main room is Leonardo, what is usually the Wii room is Rafael, the conference room is Donatello and the room with the minifridge full of beer is Michelangelo. I tried to match personalities too. Hope you enjoy if you come. 

Turkeys don’t mate much…

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Supposedly, just about all “100 percent of the nearly 300 million turkeys produced annually in the United States for consumption are the results of artificial insemination.”

This makes you wonder, why so much turkey? It is probably almost exclusively for Thanksgiving, but still. There can’t be that many people who love turkey, otherwise we would see more turkey burgers, wouldn’t we?

What better time for social commentary than total catastrophe?

So the Dow drops 733 points yesterday and I realized, SlideShare is running a contest about the Credit Crisis and I haven’t blogged about it.

Now I know there are a lot of smart business & econ people who can could put together an explanatory slideshow (and you should) but you are definitely allowed to be satirical with it. You get 30 slides and will be judged based on slideshow popularity and well our judges: Mark Cuban, Hal Varian, Paul Kedrosky & Fred Wilson.  And you definitely should. If anyone submits something please let me know!

Arr! Celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Hmm, I need to be better in tune with these little fun holidays. I think the best way to celebrate this particular holiday isn’t to go all out in pirate gear. But instead I think it is better to sneak in pirate phrases throughout the day, especially when least expected.

Here are some ways to celebrate with:

  • Tape a homemade ‘Poop Deck’ sign over the restroom
  • Agree with your boss or teacher by saying “Blimey, Capt’n! That’s brilliant!”
  • When they look at your funny say “Aye, ye know this to be true”
  • End phrases with “Says I”
  • Replace “oh child’s place” with “oh swordsplay” (If you don’t use the phrase child’s play’ a lot, you should start)
  • Shout out “Abandon Ship” when people ask, “Then what?” or “So…”
  • When people show doubt, command them to “Muster Ye Courage Men”
Moral of the story, be creative and enjoy yourself!
 
Savvy?
