Almost every video game you’ve played in the last year or two has a UI created in Flash. My mind is blown.

On Thursday, I’ll be returning to Jetsetter in a R&D capacity. I’m mostly excited to spearhead new projects, but part of me is sad to leave my workspace behind. The past six months have been swell, home office.

I really wish I could drive this point home to my friends…but that repetitive rotation of songs on KROQ is almost like hypnotic ear-training, or their musical tastes haven’t evolved since they were 5 years old.

Radio’s predictability is addictive and comforting.  It’s hard to combat.

I’d take it a step further and say that music blogs are the near-perfect marriage between your radio and a magazine stand. Even less desirable traits like predictability and bias still make their way through sometimes.

Pantha Du Prince - The Splendour

A smile crosses my face whenever I realize “dancey” and genius are not mutually exclusive.

Recently, I’ve realized that really great music can be four-on-the-floor.

What? 1-10 seconds length of visit…
This might mean 50% of visitors do not understand how my website works… omg. Maybe not the target audience.

As others have said, it’s not that people don’t understand how it works, but rather that it’s difficult to use. You should consider implementing navigation arrows, keyboard hotkeys, or some other secondary mechanism to use besides just dragging.

I can’t confess to being a Gilt groupie but I foresee potential personal bankruptcy at the hands of Jetsetter, its new sister site which taps right into my worst habits of weird travel and impulse purchases.  Oh, by the way, you have never heard about this site because I definitely didn’t just tell you about it because it doesn’t exist and never will.
Anyway, now that you know never to jump on the bandwagon and make my sporadic travel deals more difficult to nab, I shall continue. When I’m in NYC later this month I’m primarily just be crashing with family or friends, but I couldn’t help myself when I saw that one of Jetsetter’s deals today was for the new Ace Hotel. Snagged one for Thursday night.  Can’t wait.
But if my room doesn’t have a chalkboard above the bed I may be extremely disappointed.
