Facebook Granted Patent on the News Feed - This Could Be Very Big
The reason I think the newsfeed is so popular? People are so overwhelmed with information now, they just want to be informed of the latest and greatest, no emails sitting unread that you have to click on one by one, just a constant stream of “I can reply if I’m interested, otherwise, no big deal.” I wish my corporate email inbox worked that way. May be a good idea for CernerWorks 2.0…

Why Piracy Works (via i.imgur.com)
A conversation I have every month or so
Me: (tries to visit a local restaurant’s website via iPhone)
Restaurant website: I require Flash. Fuck off.
Me: I just want to know how late you’re open.
Website: Nope.
Me: But I’m on my phone. Don’t you have a little “HTML Version” link up in the corner or something?
Website: I’m ignoring you.
Me: What if I’m on my phone because I’m out, looking for a place to eat? Didn’t that ever occur to you?
Website: Fuck entirely off.
Me: (gives up, switches to computer)
Website: Oh! Hi! What can I help you with today?
Me: What are your —
Website: Hang on, I’m loading the music.
Me: Really.
Website: You’ll love it. It’s “Girl from Ipanema” arranged for steel drum and keytar.

Website: Loading…
Me: All I want is —
Website: I SAID DOT DOT DOT.
Me: (drums fingers on desk)
Website: There we go. Isn’t that nice? It’s… what’s the word. Ethnicky.
Me: What are your hours?
Website: Take a look at our menu! It’s a PDF of a screenshot of a scan of a Word document printed on a dishtowel. With fonts!
Me: I don’t care. What are your hours?
Website: Don’t worry, the menu loads in a new window so the music won’t stop. Can I show you some broken images?
Me: What. Are. Your. Hou. Rs.
Website: I… I don’t know.
Me: (goes to Denny’s)

Brady Morningstar’s free throw slip (2/8/2010 Kansas at Texas) (via dreamleague)
You’ve got to feel bad for the guy. First, sitting out half the season for a DUI, then embarrassing himself in front of a national TV audience. Oh and uh… 2.5 million YouTube views and counting!

American Idol
I have to admit, I’m an American Idol junkie. Not just the episodes that are funny because people suck so bad, but also the ones that are on now, where you see some talented people start to shine. A couple of these people start singing and I literally get goosebumps. I love seeing the true artist come out in people you’ve never heard or seen before.
Kids Don't Blog Anymore? Maybe They Never Did
I’m considering moving my own blog erikankrom.com to Tumblr instead. I agree that we are all drowning in communication tools, so the easiest thing to drop is what takes the longest.
