xkcd.


…And now I feel like an idiot because I’m crying.

Reminds me of the Ikea lamp ad, except this one doesn’t scold me for feeling sad.

I remember feeling really sad when Phoenix shut down. They’d done such a good job anthropomorphizing that little guy that my heart really broke reading its “farewell transmission from Mars.”

“But for now, it’s time for me to hunker down and brave…”

I don’t know whether it’s my love of science, robots, or whether I’m just a big damn softie, but that line killed me - just slayed me alive.
I feel about the same with the above comic. Maybe it’s me examining the universe from the perspective of so much distance, maybe it’s a fear of ever feeling so lost and quite literally alone, and maybe I just have a romanticized outlook on exploration. Whatever it is, I want to hug that robot and tell it that everything will be alright.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
