Great Tim Ferris Parody
The combo with the npr sature is pitch perfect. Like all those facejackers are npr can’t wait to turn their jobs into 14 second ones.

What's lacking in most snark humour →
I’m a lover of paradox. It feels much richer and truthful to me than most else. And funnier. There’s some heart to it. Wilde was a genius paradox giver:
I can resist anything but temptation.
I find a lot of the comedy out there now tiring. And Frank Chimero has articulated the why beautifully. Of course its just a lot of fine, rational reasoning being applied to jokes.
I’ve...

Weight reduction and Penis Enlargement
I was recently part of a mediabistro panel called Creating OnlineEntertainment.Afterword, a woman approached me and Dina Kaplan (above right) COO of Blip.tv She said, “I’m a hypnotist. I do weight reduction and penis enlargement.”“You’re walking spam,” I replied. Posted via email from heathergold’s posterous | Comment »
The web grows up. Social passes data.
I was searching for good panels at SXSWi 10 and discovered that 1,118 of the 2,000 proposed panels have the word “social” in them. That was some heavily re-tweeted shit. I couldn’t fit into 140 characters why I think this means or matters or why so many people now care about the web as something that is social. (My pact with my serotonin producers explains my optimism in the...

Frederick Douglass on Power
If there is no struggle There is no progress Those who profess to favor freedom And yet depreciate agitation Are men who want crops Without plowing up the ground They want rain without thunder and lightning They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many watersPower concedes nothing without a demand It never did and it never will.-Frederick Douglass, 1857 Posted via email from...
The Dish (sullivan readers) speculate on romance.
I speculate on queer vs straight differences in approaches to dating in this interesting Dish (Andrew Sullivan’s blog) post on dating and deception. I think you can “lie” to get (unethical or mutual projection fantasy) sex, but not romance. Posted via email from heathergold’s posterous | Comment »

He’s about to be discharged under Don’t Asked Don’t Tell even though he’s an Arabic...
