Twitter Spam in Mentions, Replies and DM: Here’s Why YOU Send Them

February 25, 2010

Curious how you get so many spam messages in Twitter? It’s not rocket science. I just got this one: “hi, i’m 24/female/horny… i have to get off here but message me on my windows live messenger name…” You probably did too. I know @mayhemstudios, @marshacollier and @TopBrokerOC did (thanks you three!).
So, how does this happen? [...]

No Longer a TED Virgin

February 19, 2010

I posted about TED before the event. I was skeptical. I was concerned that this elitest group of smart people would be getting together to one up each other on who is smarter. I was right. It is elitest, they are smart and I had right to be skeptical. That said, they share all their [...]

Off to TEDActive 2010 in Palm Springs

February 5, 2010

TED…a conference where people tell interesting short stories of their experiences in life. These are Ideas Worth Spreading, according to TED’s mission. Ideas Worth Spreading huh? I shall soon confirm.
TED is 50 or so 18 minute “unrehearsed” presentations from some of the biggest names in the world and some that few have ever heard of, all [...]

Who Do you Complain to About the Better Business Bureau?

February 2, 2010

What is the Better Business Bureau? It’s not a government agency. It’s not policed by a government agency. It’s not even run like a top down corporation. It’s a franchise model, run by local “owners” or “President/CEOs.” It is a private institution run by local presidents that make their living on selling local merchants on [...]

To Dual or not to Dual with Displays

February 1, 2010

This has been driving me nuts. What is Dual Link DVI and which Apple adapter do I need?
Here’s the answer:
A dual link dvi adapter supports resolutions higher than 1900×1200, up to resolutions of 2560 by 1600 pixels to be exact.
While some TVs or displays support up to 1900 x 1080 (1080i or 1080p). For resolutions [...]

“Superfriends” to Appear on Food Network via meetup.com

January 18, 2010

Social networking at it’s finest…
I’m sitting at a local brewery watching football with my wife and friends a month back and I get an email from someone who had just visited my Meetup.com site. I created the site to make new friends and to learn things. I never imagined the Food Network would find me [...]

Eric Greenspan, not Eric Greenspan (or Eric Greenspan)

January 14, 2010

Time to clear this up. I’m Eric Greenspan the entrepreneur, not Eric Greenspan the chef (or Eric Greenspan the lawyer).
I’m not the chef Eric Greenspan, he owns the Foundry on Melrose. That Eric Greenspan was recently up for the Next Iron Chef on the Food Network but lost to grasshoppers. He is the master of [...]

Just Another Day in the “Assroom”

December 21, 2009

It’s been mellow since the 140conf LA meetup and the “high” has worn off. I had a blast co-hosting that event with Jeff Pulver and it was a huge success thanks to Yahoo! (great Yahoo blog post here). Since, I’ve been getting ready for the holidays, spending time with my family, and trying not to [...]
