8-Bit Hip Hop Mashup: Jay-Z vs. Mario, T.I. vs.... →
ericmortensen:
What do you get when you cross old-school Nintendo 8-bit sound with hits from Jay-Z, T.I., and Kanye West? One of the most inventive, hilarious, and nostalgic mixes of recent memory. Producer Tugboat of the Mad Decent crew really goes in on this short mix that includes some of the biggest mainstream Hip Hop hits of the last several years. (via @fffffat)

Where I’ll be:
Cupcakes might have jumped the shark, but that’s not going to stop us heading to the Renaissance hotel between 1-4pm on Sunday where for just $20 admission there’s the chance to sample 34 different cupcakes from 19 local bakeries including - my personal favorite - Kiss My Bundt. Perhaps the iced mini-bundt is the next big thing?

My thoughts from last night.
Understand that you’ll be able to look back one day and say:
“I was there; in the basement of an old-bank-turned-club in downtown LA; where one man climbed onto a table to let us know the event was starting and 250 like-minded artists and friends crammed into the back room before they closed the door; where we stood under just 3 bright lights and behind a DSLR; where the awards were...

Man, between the Where The Wild Things Are trailer and this, it’s like the best news day ever!
I never read Where The Wild Things Are.

Gratuitous bragging about yourself Wednesday...
About two months ago I stepped on a scale and made a decision. I’m neither the first, nor the last person to have a similar reaction in that situation, so I don’t think that really counts as the interesting part of the story - just the catalyst.
My driver’s license says that I’m 5’9” and 155lbs. I haven’t bothered changing it since I got my...

I’m sorry for running right into you at the top of the escalator, however you took one step onto the platform and then just stopped; you didn’t even go beyond the boundaries of the metal landing platform. So once you decided to stop moving - and being on the escalator, I had no choice but to continue to do so - my options were rather limited. Once the man behind me ran into MY back (as...

1. Tumblr is the errant lovechild of Livejournal and Wordpress.
2. Blogging while using my fiancee’s projector (which has a screen that is about as large as a four door car) makes me feel like I’m from the future.
That’s actually why I joined Tumblr, because it reminded me of how I felt when I used LJ back in the day. I much prefer the community aspects to the...
Tumblr peeps.
It occasionally blows me away how smart, creative, interesting, and funny the people I follow on Tumblr are.
Each one of you has given me a reason to be so interested in your lives and your daily thoughts, and I thank you for bringing me so much entertainment, intellectual stimulation, discussion, advice, perspective, and humor.
My life is richer for it.

Los Angeles →
A very sincere Thank You to Jen for pointing me in the direction of this article on what it’s like to live in Los Angeles. It’s spot-on accurate, for better or worse, and articulates the situation so much better than I ever could hope to.
Back from SXSW and inundated with work for a while. Probably no updates for a couple days, but for the curious: yes I did indeed survive the experience, and furthermore had a lot of fun and met a lot of wickedly smart people in the process.
Thanks to all who were there and all the new people I met in a whirlwind of commerce, whimsy, speculation, and intelligence.
Just had an excellent time at The Onion party at...

…so excellent that I didn’t take any pics — as usual!
Damn, wish I had known, I was there too.
Dear Tumblr peeps,
Gonna be MIA for the next 5 days or so due to SXSW. I’ll see some of you this Sunday at the meetup, but for everyone else: Hold down the fort for me, will you?
