- Interview with Anil Dash, VP of SixApart
Good stuffs on community, social media, etc: "it's a recent leap for people to go from "I am kinda into that" to "Being into this sort of thing is part of my identity." Once you've made that statement, for anybody to contradict it is a huge affront." - Girls Are Pretty - You And Your Wife Only Communicate Via Spyware Histories Day!
You think your wife installed spyware on your computer (she has) so you are going to have to stop Googling her sister, and start Googling things like "What do I do when I love my wife so much that I doubt I’ll ever be able to express my love adequately?" and "How do I make my wife even happier?" and "The opposite of looking at pictures of my wife’s sister." - The Penguin Blog - What's the point of Facebook?
I think Facebook works because it cuts the unit cost of keeping in touch with an extra person to zero, and the unit cost of keeping track of an extra person to near-zero. (More in my comment on the post.) - NO NO NO
Toni & Guy did this to me. I will have my vengeance.

Cut copy
Friday, February 23, 2007
In search of new experiences (read: Sophie was doing it, and it looked fun, and it was on The List, so I thought I may as well) I cut off loads of my hair. It was exciting. There is some minor tuftage, but I'm sure things will be fine? It is only hair, after all.
Also, hair monster:
Also, I went to the Shunt Lounge with a few friends last night for birthday drinks. It was very good fun, and it truly is the most awesome bar ever invented, although next time I go along I really ought to check out "the cool stuff" rather than just sitting about drinking wine, even if it was whilst sitting in a shed, within big vaults, under a train station. Action shot:
Finally, if anybody wants a bargain copy of Microsoft Expression Web (although a bit of money would be nice!) then let me know and I'll send it your way. Or maybe I could even give it to you in person at the Perplex City Part-ay this Saturday? (More photos of all this hullabloo on Flickr.)
