SOPA and The New Gatekeepers
I’m with Mike, here: what’s interesting about SOPA and PIPA to me is not so much the bills, but the fact that our governments are set up in a way that such bills could even ever get drafted. It’s patently absurd.

Mike Davidson: Presto Chango
My good friend and Newsvine founder/CEO Mike Davidson has redesigned his personal site for the first time in — I don’t know, a long time. It’s looking good. Dig it.

Mike Davidson: Enterprise CMSes vs. Blog CMSes
A good discussion ensures after Mike asks a simple question: for news organizations, which is better, a blog CMS or an enterprise CMS? My answer? They both suck.

Seeking Web Developer at Newsvine
I’m a bit behind on this one, having been out of town and largely offline for a couple of weeks, but Mike and his awesome crew at Newsvine (now part of MSNBC) are looking for a PHP/JS/CSS sort of developer to join their team. I’ve known Mike for years and have watched Newsvine grow into something really special, so you know this is a killer position. I’ve met most of the members on the team and am buddies with some of them — they’re really, really good at what they do, and super-nice people. And, the Newsvine office is literally a stone’s thrown from my apartment (you can actually see my building right behind the ‘Vine building in the photo Mike includes), so I can say without question that it’s a great building in a great location right in the middle of everything that’s going on in Seattle. If you’re a PHP/JS guru, you’d be crazy not to be interested in this gig.

Mike Davidson: Slam Dunk Startups
This one’s been percolating for a while, as Mike was talking about it way back at the Blue Flavor holiday party. The basic question is, “if you could have one business idea from the last ten years as your own, which idea could you most assuredly turn into a success?” It’s easy to just spout off and say, “YouTube!” or “Facebook!” But, even if you had the brilliant ideas of a video-sharing site, could you have really capitalized on it? Do you really have all the resources needed to execute on those kinds of ideas? Doubtful. Mike chooses HotOrNot.com, which is a great choice. Those guys are making boatloads of money on a site I could have built all by myself in a weekend. Interesting stuff to talk about, for sure.

Mike Davidson: A Rookie Guide to Digital SLR Cameras
This really nice post by Mike on getting into dSLR cameras also has a great comment thread with a lot of useful tips. I’ve often thought about taking the dSLR plunge, but I’m not yet convinced I would actually use one, if I bought it. Anyway, if you’re thinking about buying one and don’t know all the basics, red this thread.

MSNBC.com acquires Newsvine
Having lived in Seattle just long enough to know a handful of the guys from both of these great media companies, I can truly say: this is a perfect match. Congrats to Rex, Mike, Ashley, Calvin, and everyone else involved. I’m so anxious to see where this goes! More coverage:
Huge win for Seattle, this.

Mike Davidson: Fantasy Football Spot Up For Grabs
Once again, the blogosphere’s trashtalkingest and most reprehensible fantasy football league, the IKNFL, is increasing its roster. If you like fantasy football, get over to Mike’s site and grab a spot.
I hesitate to mention the real reason you should go over to Mike’s blog post, for fear that someone may retaliate by posting Jr. High photos of me. So, I won’t bring up the hilarious photo of a certain ex-World Online and ex-Apple employee. Just trust me. You want to read this blog post.
