New song from my band Eat Dead People. What do you think?

the sound of your voice makes me sick

i used to choke down my heart

now i’m choking

choking back the tears

the clock ticks down

until you scream these recursive memories

how could you forget?

this isn’t normal

to think of the end

if only i could invent the

antidote to remove from veins

you are everywhere

The Statlr Blog: Using color on Statlr

The Statlr Blog: Using color on Statlr:

Statlr is a simplistic site by design, so finding a way to make it pop without making it too overpowering was difficult. Because of the large amount of screen real-estate the color bars had to take up, the colors had to work together, be eye catching, not too bright, and not too weak.

For this I…

I Am The Crime: 7 Ways to Pick Yourself Back Up:

Make a list. Sometimes we are depressed simply because we are overwhelmed with all the things we have to do that we haven’t gotten around to doing. You might be into GTD, but sometimes every GTDer falls behind with his system, and sometimes you just don’t have the energy to do so. So all the…

Logged in users can share stats!

Now when you log in, you’ll see a button in the upper left corner of the username box on any stat page. This will allow you to share stats from that page with Facebook, Twitter, and Digg.

We’re also open to any services you think we should add!

Have fun! And if you spot any issues feel free to let us know: help at statlr dot com.

In addition to implementing the lightbox, I got to write the logic which was pretty cool.

Statlr is now live!

Statlr is a free service that allows you to gather and share stats from your favorite websites with the world!

Unlike other statistic services that focus mainly on gathering stats from one site, Statlr allows you to gather stats from many sites. We currently support Twitter, Vimeo, Last.fm, Live For Fame, and Gowalla.

Another key feature of Statlr is its design. We feel that stats should be easy to understand, so we made it that way! Stats are displayed big and beautifully to keep reading numbers super fun.

So go and create an account today at statlr.com/signup!

And be sure to follow us on Twitter and Tumblr.

Check out what Mike and I have been creating for two weeks!

Day 3 of no cigarettes

Symptoms of Withdrawal

After you quit smoking, you with have some withdrawal symptoms. Such symptoms generally peak in intensity 3 -5 days after you quit, and usually disappear after 2 weeks, although some may persist for several months.

The symptoms of withdrawal include both physical and mental difficulties.

Physical Symptoms.

Tingling in the hands and feet
Sweating
Intestinal disorders (cramps, nausea)
Headaches
Sore throat, coughing, and signs of a cold

Withdrawal symptoms should be treated accordingly, just as you would with physical symptoms due to an illness or disease.

Mental and Emotional Symptoms. Tension and craving build up during periods of withdrawal, sometimes to a nearly intolerable point. Nearly every moderate-to-heavy smoker experiences more than one of the following strong emotional and mental responses to withdrawal:

Temper tantrums, intense needs, feelings of dependency, and a state of near paralysis
Insomnia
Mental confusion, vagueness, or difficulty concentrating
Irritability, restlessness, impatience, or anger
Anxiety
Depression

The first signs of nicotine withdrawal seem to appear within 30 minutes of a smoker’s last cigarette. The findings, published in Psychopharmacology, are believed to be the first to show just how early nicotine withdrawal occurs. The study involved 50 people who smoked a pack of cigarettes daily. Half refrained from smoking for 4 hours, while the others smoked as usual. After 30 minutes, those who did not have a cigarette craved one and did more poorly on tasks requiring attention than those in the smoking group. Within 3 hours, the non-smoking group showed increases in anxiety, sadness, and difficulty concentrating.

@JonVictorino made this awesome promo piece for the upcoming LiveForFame launch party.

I decided to mask it and share the PSD. It would be funny to see a bunch of different takes on it.

Create your own spaceman launch promo using this PSD (http://bit.ly/fcp5o) and upload the results to LiveForFame.com or tag your Tumblr post #liveforfame

Hope to see you at the L4F launch party October 3rd in SF!

The Comedy Central Roast of Twitter - Opening Remarks from Twitter

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:53:30 -0700

aedison:

Thank you for all coming to my roast, and uh… I can see you all in the audience, so this will be just about the only two and a half hours where I *won’t* need to ask you what you’re doing. I just wanted to start with a little direct message from me to you. Thank you. For sticking with me, through the downtime; and the web-cocks; and the downtime; and the retweeters; and the downtime; and the #TOCTers; and the downtime.

But then, did you really have a choice? I mean, Plurk? Plurk anyone? Aw, I’m kidding, Plurk! I can see him in the front row — I’m kidding, dude! Let’s have a big hand for Plurk, c’mon! C’mon, a big hand… full of venture capital money. He needs it.

Let’s see… who else is here… Oh! Facebook is here… how about a big round of applause for Facebook? Yeah! Hey, buddy, you okay? It uh… it looks like someone’s turned on our integration, it looks like he’s just mirroring everything I say. That’s a shame. Hopefully when he comes up to the dais to speak later he’ll have something original to say. Or at least something stolen from Myspace and improved upon.

And of course congratulations to FriendFeed, who recently hooked up with Facebook and changed a few relationship statuses if you know what I mean!

iPhone is here! How about that! At least, I think he’s here — could someone turn on location services? Ah, there he is! Y’know, iPhone has been a real great friend to me — always willing to offer a place to stay. Too many places, if I’m honest. I should be clear when I say that the goal of this whole shindig is to see Tweetie and Birdfeed go at it. If you want to keep track, the hashtag is gonna be #tooevenlymatchedformetochooseasidewillsomeonepleaseaddanewfeature.

Google sends their regards, and sends them in (0.37 seconds). They would have come, but someone forgot to turn off SafeSearch and things are gonna get a little raunchy here tonight. Yahoo would be here, but they have an abundant ability to be absolutely blind to areas of the market Google has yet to penetrate, so they unfortunately cannot see this entire amphitheater.

It’s gonna be a great night, with a lot of LOLs, so sit back and enjoy yourselves. We’ll try and keep the spambots to a minimum.
