★ Laugh
I love this photo. It’s from a set of early 1900s negatives I picked up at a garage sale. The expression on the man’s face makes me smile every time I look at it. I like it so much in fact that I’ve made it my new avatar.

★ A few more found negatives
Someone asked me about a photo that I’d scanned a couple years ago, so I went into my Lightroom library to dig it up. I couldn’t find it. Many of the other scans from that same batch of found negatives were there, but a number of them seemed to have gone missing. I thought making things digital was supposed to make it easier to store and find things. Apparently, I’ve not figured out how to do...

Mark Bernstein: Google FTW, Google Fail
I’m sure there are people who blog about football, and I bet every one of them was surprised by this play, and that some of them wrote about it.
But there’s no space for that in Google: we’re too busy selling ads on SEO sites and link farms.
Every recent story about Google makes me sad.

★ Don’t call it a “Startup”
Why is it that someone referring to a new company as a “Startup” sets me on edge? Wikipedia describes startups like this, “A startup company or startup is a company with a limited operating history.”1, which is a totally fair description, so that’s not it. I know people at these companies, and for the most part they are smart and driven and doing awesome things. That’s not it either.

★ The iPhone “Mute” discussion
There is a fun discussion going on around how the iPhone handles the “Ring/Silent” switch.
Marco on the iPhone’s Mute behavior
“The user told the iPhone to make noise by either scheduling an alarm or initiating an obviously noise-playing feature in an app.
The user also told the iPhone to be silent with the switch on the side.
The user has issued conflicting commands, and the...

My Daily Pens
These are the pens I carry on me daily
I started to watch this with fascination, until I realized it was a video about what pens he carries. PENS! And I was riveted there for a minute.
Just shoot me.

Tweetage Wasteland : We All Have Photographic...
Dave Pell:
The wave of emotions, senses and reactions that made up his initial experience were swept away by the undertow of a single sense: what his eyes saw on a two inch viewfinder.
That describes another negative side effect of the immediate “convenience” of digital photography. We experience less.

★ Favorite Gear from 2011
Thought I’d post a quick list of my favorite gadgets and other things from last year, in no particular order.
Sonos Wireless HiFi System
Man I love my Sonos. I brought home 2 of the CONNECT devices and one PLAY:5. Within 20 minutes I was streaming all of my music to existing stereos in my home office and living room and the PLAY:5 was rocking the bedroom. So easy. Apple doesn’t have a...

My Last Death Threat in 2011 Altucher Confidential
I am particularly ugly when you see me on TV. Everyone is very beautiful on TV. They always try to put makeup on me or make me brush my hair or tuck my shirt in. Ugh. Are you my mommy? I also had particularly big headsets on. Like Keith Partridge in the Partridge Family. “I Think I Love You”. You know the song.
I like people who are bullish, which makes me like James Altucher even more....
