Rachel and I are skipping the fun in Austin this year, but we did make pizza with Lindsay and Blakeley!
I put prosciutto on mine.
Omg so good. I think mine was the prettiest. 3 years working at a pizza place finally paid off. Hey Karp, post a photo of my pretty pizza!
My first dispatch from SXSW for IFC.com is up. Check it out.
Way to go Soup! It’s like I’m there!
Talk Heads Cover is Perfect Homage to American Psycho!
Miles Fisher’s tribute to the 80’s classic “This Must Be The Place” is a must for Patrick Bateman fans everywhere.
American Psycho and 80’s pop fans alike can rest assured that this remake of both the song and the movie are really, really well done.

Hey Austin, welcome to the Neighborhoodr!
Our first city outside of New York. Just in time for SXSW.

My blog just turned 2!
So this happened this morning, on local cable news station NY1. To be fair, both Snipes and Congressman Charlie Rangel have very good excuses for not paying their taxes.

The problems with sharing personal information on the web… it might be leaked someday. Digg it.
I started following Olive’s Restaurant (on Prince) a few days ago on Twitter. They started giving away free food at the end of the day and during the day recently. I thought that this might be something all you SoHo eaters and workers might enjoy! http://twitter.com/olives_nyc
Neat!
We Live In Public finally comes out on DVD today. I cannot express enough how much ass this documentary kicks. I consider myself a pretty versed in internet history/culture/ and all around web fuckery, but the stuff I saw in this movie just made my head spin. I guess I had no idea what was really going on. Most of the action the takes place over ten years ago, in a time when we were just beginning to figure out what it means to live our lives online, in view of thousands of people on our blogs or webcams. This doc is a cautionary tale about the loss of privacy, about what it means to put too much of your life online, about how going too far too fast can sometimes be too much. The most frightening thing about all these tales - and this documentary is just one of many - is that in ten years time we really haven’t learned anything about the perils of over-sharing, and more hilariously, we just don’t care.
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a very long time.

The internet has come full circle today for all of the right reasons.
This straight up gives me chills. An amazing article, Mr. Leitch. I’m glad RE is a forgiving man.
Wow, what an amazing read.
I made it to CNN, mom!
Check out this cool video on Tumblr and NYC as a startup hub on CNN.
Awesome guys!
gotta watch this again:
I laughed the hardest at ‘flags of the world’ last night. Jennifer Lopez was so, so, terribly unfunny.
WANT!

So, this happened…
Walking home through Astor Place around midnight when a guy two steps in front of me just collapses in the middle of Lafayette Street, in oncoming traffic.
He was wasted and passed out mid-step.
I grabbed him by his underarms and started to pull him onto the island where the Alamo (the big black cube) sculpture is. Dead weight. Another guy saw and came over to lend a hand by grabbing his legs. Someone else scooped up the large backpack/case he was carrying.
Turns out our John Doe had been doing a fair amount of drinking. He had broken out in a sweat, so I unbuttoned his collar. There was a pungent scent of vodka coming out of his pores. He wasn’t intoxicated…he was completely saturated.
John came to slightly and was able to sit up, though not without one of us bracing him to keep him from falling back over.
We called 911 and summoned an ambulance. While waiting, we and several others that had gathered tried to piece together what happened.
“Do you know where you are?”“Yes.”“Where are you then?”“Brooklyn.”The ambulance came shortly and he was slowly able to rise to his feet (read: thrust to his feet with an assist from a helpful paramedic) and shuffle to the back of the ambulance.
He asked several times for his bag…
What was in it, you ask?
His accordion.
“Oh, so you just came from a gig?”“No, my parents’ place.””__________.”That’s right.
Accordion. Parents’ house. Falling down drunk.
Rock. And. Roll.
Just wondering, in light of this and this happening just a few weeks apart, how many of these “near miss” incidents are there in the city each night that go unnoticed and/or unreported?
I love New York stories like this, and that’s what makes Neighborhoodr so awesome. Rock. And. Roll.
Because I want to hear my friends read, but my friends understand that I don’t do crowds or lines. They should probably have chosen Madison Square Garden for this thing!
I wouldn’t worry about posterity on this one. There will undoubtedly be audio, video, photos, personal reminiscing, passive-aggressive mocking, earnest celebration, subsequent flirtation, cross-Tweeting, Tumblr-crushing, likes and reblogs and likes and reblogs for ever and ever and ever.
My latest! It has dead bodies in it.
You are gross Cassie… and that is why I like you.
I admire what Rachelle has accomplished, and it’s common for web designers to adapt ideas from other sites. But this is a bit silly.
Gawker’s next acquisition?
Great homemade rap videos from across the US, is your hood featured?

One of my favorite images of all time.

In September, I had a blast shooting the press photos for Gawker TV. We shot the images in a makeshift livingroom/TV set up at the Gawker Headquarters, as well as on their roofdeck. Mike, Blakeley, and Whitney are always ridiculously fun to shoot. We shot these before Gawker TV launched, and it has since blown up. As someone without cable, I check Gawker TV to keep me updated on everything TV/pop-culture I’m missing. Plus they post insanely cute animal/baby videos.
