UPDATE: ScribeFire Doesn't Handle Editing Posts
So I just did a double-post after seeing that my formatting was messed up by an image that was too big. I pulled up the post, resized the image, and then clicked “publish to..” not seeing a “save” option, and it did what I expected — it reposted. Oh well, hopefully these guys will find [...]
ScribeFire Lets You Blog Directly From Firefox
One of my compatriots at Grooveshark and The Drunk Pirate referred me over to ScribeFire, a blogging tool that lets you create posts directly from your browser window.

Lessons from Grey Goose: How to Make Your Product Stand-Out
For those of you who love vodka, I’m sure I don’t have to educate you on Grey Goose. It’s on top shelfs and on VIP tables across the country and across the globe. You would assume a fine, high-quality vodka would have been brewed for ages in the dark distilleries of Europe well into the [...]
Why Do People Post Anonymously?
I was just looking at 2 comments I received on my blog today and both of them were by anonymous posters.

iPhone 1.0, You May Have a Competitor: HTC Touch 2.0
With the iPhone planning its 2.0 release in the coming weeks to days, we finally have a true competitor emerging for the iPhone 1.0! After HTC originally released its Touch, it was welcome with mild-fanfare. It had a touch screen, 3G/EVDO capability, a decent WINMO interface, but it just wasn’t there on the design side. [...]
Flock Raises More Money: Browser Wars Back?
With Firefox 3 releasing its Beta Release Candidate 1, we’re starting to see the makings of some real browser wars heating up again. Flock has just raised $15 million in a Series D (yes D, as in DOG) round bringing their total to $28 million.. I’ve personally used Flock but found that it was too [...]
What If Napster Mattered?
Napster recently released their 6 million catalog MP3 store and the world hit the snooze button. I mean, who really cares about Napster; their mp3 player sucks (ie it’s not an iPod), I can get better content from the illegal networks, they don’t really differentiate themselves from Rhapsody, and at the end of my contract, [...]
