Poll Everywhere “Introducing Poll Everywhere” Good god, am I proud of Employee #2, JP Bolles, who directed this for Sandwich Video. Sure it’s a cool product. See for yourself if you want. But the video JP made is just so good. And DJ Lubel, who stars in it, never doesn’t make me laugh. via sandwichvideo

Splitsider: Talking Key & Peele With Series... →

atencio: I did an interview with my friend Natasha Vargas-Cooper for comedy website Splitsider. It’s really self-indulgent, but if you’re interested in directing sketch comedy, I go into a lot of detail about how I approached doing the show. Which premieres tonight at 10:30. Please watch it, or else I have to go back to making porn. So anyhow, I’m really excited about seeing the world...

“We played the spot once, and when it finished, Jobs said, “It sucks! I hate it!...”

– Behind the Scenes of Apple’s ‘Think Different’ Campaign (via implodr) The biggest thing that bothers me about the “Cult of Jobs” is that people often seem to mistake the unfortunate, frequently counterproductive, side effects of the personality that made him great for the very cause of his...

Human-computer-human interaction

There’s an unformed thought I’ve had bouncing around in my head since I first tried out Siri on my 4S. I’d have liked to develop it into something more robust, but it’s a pretty simple idea so I’ll just leave it here.
