Big Pimpin'
Hey, y’all, the Thrillist-Seattle wrote up American Drink today.
[…] [American Drink]’s a newly-launched Tacoma-based blog that celebrates/demystifies the quintessentially American art of the cocktail (plus drinking them) via humorously trenchant posts by swill-happy contributors from around the country who became friends because they’re all prolific “Twitter d*ck...
NBA Devolved
But what struck me the most watching this series, and especially game seven, is what an ugly, ugly game the NBA has devolved into. No beauty and very little strategy offensively from either side. No ball movement, and lots of standing around. Very hard to believe that these are the two best teams in the league. The Lakers shot just 33 percent from the field and yet clearly deserved to win the...

Twitter: The Criterion Collection II
What if Twitter… came to life… again?
In March, we asked some of our pals to film their favorite tweets in 30 seconds or less. We had so much fun, we asked them to return for an encore.
We hope you enjoy our second smorgasbord of Twitter in action.

The thing about Apple marketing →
chrisereneta:
“That’s the thing about Apple marketing. They don’t talk about how many gigabytes of memory or how many CPU cycles or how many apps (much). They aim for your heart, and show you how technology can make your life better during its most important moments.”

The Perils of FaceTime →
samhey:
But because I’m weird, I was thinking about how FaceTime represents a new social protocol, giving rise to a set of cumbersome rules and new ways to cause grief. For every tear of joy shed by a FaceTimer viewing an ultrasound, there will be an equal tear of butthurt shed by a FaceTimer denied.
Read this so when you’ll know what’s up when you try and pull this FaceTime shit...

American Drink
Hey, hey, hey. Kim Lisagor, JT Dobbs, James Thornburgh, John Moltz and I have been working on a new blog called American Drink. It’s about our great love of, and respect for a good drink.
We’ll be telling stories and sharing recipes and tips to help you love the drink as much as we do. You can do it. I know you can. You are an animal.
It may be tough and we anticipated that. From...
Boling: Celtics and Lakers – say no more →
Something about this cross-country pairing spawns drama. While researching the last Finals meeting between these teams, I came across this tidbit: Lakers star Elgin Baylor missed most of the 1961-62 regular season because he was an Army reservist who was called up to active duty at Fort Lewis.
They only let him leave camp for weekend games. Apparently, the Army could sacrifice medical...

Apple as Censor
“Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”
—Abbott Joseph Liebling
I’m tired of the argument that Apple is some dark lord out to censor the news industry via the App Store1. If the newspaper industry spent the last 15 years investing time, money and attention into technology instead of pumping up their printed Living and Entertainment sections, laying off...
