Toy Recalls and Writers Strikes

I just have to make this the first item this morning... The Aqua Dot toys are recalled because some coating on them turns into GHB when ingested. My kid wants these every single time he sees them on TV. Good thing I haven't bought them or he might have eaten them or something.

A quick video summary of the WGA strike:



A hot new drug- Jenkem. I can't wait to try this one!

Fake Steve Jobs in real life.

Zuckerberg makes an ass out of himself with stupid, pompous comments.

Is Kevin going to sell Digg? If so for how much?

The myth of how YouTube was founded. Apparently Steve and Chad go around telling blatant lies about the founding of their company that were invented by their PR people. And they admit that the stories are not true. I don't even know what to say...

Atlanta Douche bag John Fitzgerald Page makes the list of Atlanta's 11 Least Influential People.

Back to Work on a Monday

A Seinfeld quiz. I got 46 out of 50. And a bonus interview with Jerry.

Andy Kessler on how schools are putting lectures on YouTube.

Excepts from Options, the new real book by Fake Steve Jobs.

Seth Godin on logos. And on Radiohead's new album sales strategy.

Some idiot on how we should sell two kinds of cigarettes, as if the one kind isn't bad enough already. He's got some good ideas but it's a terrible, terrible idea.

I visited Bard College many, many years ago as a prospective student. Everyone there looked completely high. This just supports my opinion of that school.

Facebook is trying to do some ads that might actually be worth something to someone. Good luck to them.
