Beatweek

  1. @SheilaSwift someone's a long way from home.
  2. @OmarKelly LVH deteriorated so badly, Hilton revoked the franchise. It's now "Las Vegas Hotel."
  3. @codepo8 right, because every moment of our lives should be governed by paranoia regarding the highly unlikely worst case scenario.
  4. New rule: websites should never force you to log in from your own computer more than once, ever.
  5. Bill Pullman, Greta Gerwig, Zoe Lister-Jones, Daryl Wein Talk “Lola Versus” beatweek.com/12806
  6. I'm on the phone with Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, talking about his new Brotherhood album. Read about it on Beatweek next week...
  7. @devynrush that's why I cross my fingers before every interview :-)
  8. @devynrush I just talked to Carly Rae the other day. Nice person. You'd like her.
  9. @LanceUlanoff who?
  10. Review: Octa’s Vacuum Dock + WhaleTail for iPad beatweek.com/12803
  11. Had a great chat with "Call Me Maybe" singer @carlyraejepsen today. Look for her on the cover of Beatweek Magazine in June.
  12. There's no truth to the rumor that I was born with a goatee. That didn't happen until at least kindergarten.
  13. @davidjacobs @wickedgood mobile wars are over. Android marketshare plummeting, new mobile OSes can't get off the ground. Apple already won
  14. @davidjacobs @wickedgood I think FB is buying time with half baked apps that sometimes force browser use, until figures out mobile revenue.
  15. @davidjacobs @wickedgood for now Facebook has no competition (Google+ flopped, Twitter still just a big niche). It'll hurt em eventually...
  16. @WickedGood @davidjacobs they "should" want a decent app. But they keep it feature-limited on purpose. Clearly some internal conflict there.
  17. @WickedGood @davidjacobs they don't want a decent app. They want you on facebook.com for $ reasons. Facebook apps suck by choice.
  18. Watching AT&T try to find your location in the Maps app when you have one bar of signal is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
  19. Next time the grocery store self-checkout machine asks if your total is okay, click "no" and then try to haggle with it over pricing.
  20. @_elan_ I'll buy your drinks when you come to town. unless you're going to drink me under the table.
