Hey WSJ. 2005 Called. They Want Their Vapor Web Start-up Article Back

Friday, November 14th, 2008

You ever get an email or a text message that was actually sent a day or more prior? It gets lost somewhere in the pipes and eventually finds bubbles up to you. That’s what I felt when I read this article (copied below) in today’s paper. It was like a story that had been written in 2005 had been lost in the editorial process at the Journal and only now had surfaced.

I love the Wall Street Journal for they know not what they do, but how can they go publish this vapor with a straight face?

How, in this day and age of death spirals for non-business-model-having-start ups, a fishwrap that’s built its reputation on sound business analysis can go to print with a fluff story like this is beyond me.

Judge for yourself (I’ve gone ahead and bolded for emphasis the phrases that make me cringe the most): (more…)

Enquiring Minds Want to Know…about PG Porn

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

James Gunn’s PG Porn is about to get a great plug from the best tabloid fish wrap in the country, The National Enquirer.

It looks like the issue will hit grocery store check-out lines on October 13th, one week following PG Porn’s debut on Spike.com on the 8th.

Click on the image for the full-size, readable version. See the top of the second paragraph on the bottom clipping for the mention.

Scandalous!

Hey, Can I Call You Blog?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Yes. You can call me Blog.

In fact, according to Liz Gannes and the good folks at Newteevee, you can call me one of the Five New Media Blogs Worth Reading.

Nice. Even more nice is the fact that jakezim.com is the first one listed, which despite the reality that there’s probably no particular value attributable to the order, is a big win for a guy who’s last name has always put him at the end of the line.

I really appreciate the support from the community, the readers, my sources and the Safran Digital squad who help make the pixels shine. Much thanks.

Keep on rocking in a free world.

Prepping for Comic-Con is Like Planning a Wedding. Except the Presents Are Worse

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

If you’re involved with coordinating a promotion at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con, or you’ve ever been married, you know what it’s like to be on deadline at the nexus of a perfect storm of interwoven, critical dependencies that bear heavily upon your future state of happiness.

I’ve been married three times and been to Comic-Con once I’ve been to Comic-Con three times and married once, but it dawned on me today that putting together an event for the granddaddy of all entertainment conventions is analogous to the scheduling nightmare that is wedding planning. (more…)

How To Find Osama Bin Laden. Digital to the Rescue

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

It’s so simple, I can’t believe it. It’s so stupid, it just might work. No doubt special agents are reading this post right now and planning an operation to apprehend the world’s most wanted fugitive.

To find Osama Bin Laden, all you have to do is check the domain registration for www.osamabinladen.com. You can use any registration lookup tool. I happen to prefer coolwhois.com.

You’ll see that the registrar of record is a guy named Jilani Hussein of Karachi, Pakistan. Sure. Jilani, Nice to meet you. My name is Art Vandelay.

How stupid can you be? He even gave his real address!

Social Network Wars

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Not only does this witty animation do a good job of summarizing the current social network zeitgeist, but the live action shots at the end were filmed in Silver Lake, right down the street from my house!
