Hipster Shuffle 0

Sometimes, Esther thinks of me like this … and oddly enough, I’m not offended

Changing themes… like my underwear? 0

So I changed themes again, but I think that this is the version that I’m going to stick with. If I make any more changes they will be very subtle. I have also added my google reader shared links to the links page. If you want to access it directly go here and if you want the feed.

Kerfuffle via video podcast 0

While I don’t have a video podcast, I watch a whole bunch of them. Over the weekend, a major uproar has brewed up, namely between Robert Scoble and the rest of the tech blogs on the web. Scoble interviewed Intel senior fellow Mark Bohr and scooped the gadget blogs about the 45 nanometer processor breakthroughs.

When the gadget blogs finally broke the stories, Scoble divulged that he had an video interview and when the gadget blogs didn’t really pay any attention, Scoble got pissed. He ranted, which I would have done too, but when you are essentially blogger #1, you really have to watch what you say.

TDavid at MakeYouGoHmm.com makes a very accurate not about the entire problem that Scoble has: He needs to edit!

I’m probably echoing what TDavid’s intent was, if Scoble would edit his shows, change camera angles, or just make them more interesting, I would still be a subscriber. When Scoble announced that he was making a video podcast, I signed up right away, but after episode 2, I started watching them on a very, very casual basis. Finally when my hard drive was filling up with the high def video podcasts, I had to make a decision. I watched two episodes, trying to see if I could get back in the swing, but after watching 30 minutes of Vassil Mladjov, CEO of Blogtronix, I had to pick myself up off the desk, wipe the drool away, unsubscribe from the podcast and then promptly deleting all of the accrued files.

I doubt Scoble will read this, but if he does: Edit your shows. I can’t spare 45 minutes. Give me a 10 minute bite and then the option of getting the raw stream. That would be fabulous.

Chalk one up for Mad Dog 0

Last night I signed up for twitter. It is the quintessential productivity killer, constantly popping up with updates. Twitter allows you to update everyone else on twitter what you are up to. You can “twitter” around like a bird. I’ve been using twitterrific, from icon factory, to update my profile.

Oh the great thing! My profile is Steve Jobs. Yep, that’s right I’m Steve “Mad Dog” Jobs, and I have become surprisingly popular. I have about 25 friends as of this writing, which could be normal or could be celebrity gravity.

Check me out at http://twitter.com/SteveJobs
