brinking.: The quickest path to $50m in revenue?... →
The Wall Street Journal has a good piece, based on Christian Chabot’s blog post, about how long it takes to build a technology empire.

sexartandpolitics: The whole article looks interesting and tl;dr. I may read later. Haggard fascinates me.

SUNDAY SPIN: PROSPECT PARK
antmcl:
(via cycleangelo):
Today was probably the best I’ve felt for the past week, so I randomly decided to put the spandex and SIDIs on and head to Prospect Park. After three laps, I headed back to Greenpoint, and managed to catch an amazing Sunday Sunset at the East River Park on the way home. Sometimes solo steez is the way to go.

If the light source is coming from above, how come there are shadows being cast from bottom to top as seen in the green-to-red transition? The red-to-yellow pane indicates one kind of dimension but the rest doesn’t follow.

n. the emotional punch of lyrics written in foreign languages, each of which comes bundled with its own distinct mood—the elegant disappointment of French, the poetic jocularity of Portuguese, the tipsy brashness of Russian—just a few of the dozens of dialects you’d need to learn in order to fully answer the question, “Wassup?”

So here’s my obvious question: Why isn’t a site like The Awl more attractive to advertisers? It’s a central irony of the Internet that economies of scale rule the day. Wasn’t the Internet meant to change all that? Economies of scale are the business of television, not editorial….
