SXSW Can Be Serious Business

Loren Feldman — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:08:58 +0000

I know the true point of SXSW for most of you is to get drunk and hide from your life under the guise of doing some sort of actual work, I don’t have that luxury, and I like my life. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, and while I enjoy [...]

Monday Matters #35

Loren Feldman — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:15:33 +0000

In this weeks episode. Would you trust Facebook? Twitter is bad for business. And other assorted bullshit. Thankfully we have Excessups to sponsor this weeks episode. Frankly, the goddamn sponsor is actually more interesting than the news about you idiots that they are sponsoring. Use the code 1938media to save 15%

During last night’s tribute to artists there were two glaring omissions. Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur. Two women who changed the course of American culture. While many will write about Farrah’s nipples and hair, I’ve chosen to bring attention to Miss Arthur. Bea was a genius. She had some of the best comic timing ever. [...]

Loren Feldman — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 13:34:30 +0000

Time for another internet story. Today’s topic is paranoid delusional bloggers and the short attention spans of their readers. In case you haven’t heard of it, TechCrunch is a blog that covers important companies like Rmbr, Skribit, and Gruml while also finding time to promote weight loss products.

Since there really aren’t that many tech [...]

If you’ve watched any of the Winter Olympics, you’ve likely seen a bizarre and disturbing AT&T commercial featuring snowboarding in space that uses Perfect Day ostensibly as feel good music in a ‘we can do anything with AT&T’ kind of message. I don’t begrudge Lou making a few bucks and I’ll quickly forget this commercial [...]

Techcrunch Has The Audacity To Want More Interns

Loren Feldman — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:33:05 +0000

Techcrunch needs an intern. It’s insane that these dopes have the audacity to look for an intern. What kid in their right fucking minds would want to intern at techcrunch? What sane parent would let them? Look at how well it’s worked out for Daniel Brusilovsky. Maybe not the best example considering this guy is [...]

When studying Christian typologies, you learn a lot about prefiguration and different character types that recur numerous times both in the Hebrew Scripture and the New Testament. One of the best figures in Christian theology is the common Christological archetypical progression that is found in the Biblical characters of Isaac, Joseph, Moses, and finally Jesus. [...]
