An Entirely Other Day: XOXO, XOXO
http://www.eod.com/blog/2012/09/xoxo
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. I was lucky enough to get to go to the XOXO Festival. It didn’t feel lonely. At XOXO, there were 400 people all together in the same room. Four hundred unique, potentially problematic souls and I knew maybe 5% of them. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a bit of a wreck going in. After that happens enough times, you start to feel like maybe there isn’t. World you’re cut out for. But, more importantly, as a collection of like-minded people, as the expressio...

An Entirely Other Day: Making the Future
http://www.eod.com/blog/2010/04/making-the-future
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. So Pop quiz, hot shot. Is this post about Old Media, the Tea Party or Cory Doctorow? Is there any difference? All three have a vested interest in systems that are changing in ways they don’t fully understand and can’t control. And they don’t like it one bit. And many, many others) have expressed similar sentiments. God, I loved that keyboard. I loved that machine. But there is exactly no way in Hell that I’d want to go back to soldering it into a 16K, ...

An Entirely Other Day: Setting the Table
http://www.eod.com/blog/2011/01/setting-the-table
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. January 1 is a lousy day to start something new. There are too many expectations, too many clichés, too many obvious pitfalls. If you’re going to start something new, doing it on New Year’s is like getting married on Valentine’s Day, in Vegas, to a stripper. With a cocaine problem. Who took your ATM card to go get some flowers. A couple of hours ago. So of course, I’m starting something new today! But I can make my own table, too. Today, I start. And I like ...

An Entirely Other Day: Romantimatic and the Love Lost
http://www.eod.com/blog/2014/01/romantimatic
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. Romantimatic and the Love Lost. I released a silly little iOS app earlier this week, called Romantimatic. Its job is to quietly tap you on the shoulder a couple of times a week, reminding you to send a nice message to your significant other: “I love you,” “I’m thinking of you,” “You make my sensitive bits feel all tingly.” Y’know, romance. Thus, Romantimatic. It started out as a joke — the six billionth “There’s an app for that! 8221; joke, in fact — b...

An Entirely Other Day: @yankeeslose
http://www.eod.com/blog/2011/03/yankeeslose
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. Today is Opening Day, the start of the 2011 major league baseball season, and so begins the annual rite of passage for all right-thinking Americans: desperately hoping that the New York Yankees lose every one of their goddamned games. Yes, yes, the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the thrill of the hometown boys making good. But I’m a Dodgers fan, so what chance do I have of experiencing any of that this year? On Twitter to join in the schadenfreude!

An Entirely Other Day: Bugged
http://www.eod.com/blog/2012/09/bugged
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. It’s just after midnight and I’m sitting in a hospital room in the pediatric unit next to my ten-year-old son. He’s asleep now, after a hard day of watching TV and playing games on the iPad and telling me to stop. He’s been here for two days, being fed antibiotics through an IV. He got bit by a bug, and staph got in, and it was MRSA. The bill is $23,800. Two years ago, the company I worked for up and skedaddled — that’s how you say it, right? Everybody did e...

An Entirely Other Day: Talking About Failure
http://www.eod.com/blog/2013/09/talking-about-failure
Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss. The second XOXO Festival — upbeat, exciting, inspiring, amazing — ended yesterday in Portland, and I’m on the flight back, and I and can’t stop thinking about failure. Disastrous, merciless, unrelenting failure. And, in one way or another, I’ve failed at each of those things, which is what makes me want to talk about it. Tech culture — and to a lesser degree, the indie community that comes out of it — does not, and desperately must. How many people have seen...
