Spotted via the Twitterverse:

@abscondment: Oh, Microsoft – seriously? Spot the difference: http://0.gg/p57z6 vs. http://0.gg/jywzg

Poland Version:

Moral of the story:
If you must use poor photoshopping skills, please at least never use photo manipulation to change a person’s race.

UPDATE: This shiz just went from “FAIL” to “FULL OF WIN!

2nd UPDATE: Microsoft has now changed the Poland version of the site to match the U.S. version, however there’s still at least two funny observations about this picture. See if you can spot them, answers under the cut: View full article »

We had a great turnout for Seattle Startup Drinks tonight, it was actually way too loud! Thanks to my friend Andrew Hyde of TechStars for picking up the tab, and everyone for coming out to join us.

Startup Drinks is a mixer for entrepreneurs, coders, designers, etc. (a “drinking club with a startup problem”) and happens once a month, usually on the last Friday, at a different location in Seattle. Feel free to join the Facebook group if you’re interested in coming to the next one.

It’s official as of today: MySpace has acquired iLike!

I won’t delve into the details here on my personal blog, but I did want to make note of the occasion and that I think it’s a great move for all involved. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work. Things have been exciting here and busy, busy, busy…

We’re all revved up for the challenges and opportunities that our upcoming changes will bring. This positions us ideally for continued innovation in tools for artists, as well as being the foremost facilitator of community between artists and their fans. The whole team will be moving to Fox Interactive in Seattle, and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there soon.

The last few years with iLike have just flown by, it seems like yesterday we had four million users, and now we’re past fifty five million users. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter! I’m so glad to be a part of this experience, and a part of an amazing team.
