Friday, October 29th, 2010

I recently shared about my approach in using Eventbrite to manage New Media Cincinnati events I’ve organized. My approach has changed over time, and I suppose it will continue to be tweaked. This post is not about my approach, though. (more…)

No one ever gets admitted to the hospital because everything is going alright with them.  Similarly, most people don’t call technical support when the computer system is behaving superbly.

In that post was this video in which Ze shares several inspiring moments he’s shared over the years with people online. Ze is, as C.C. put it (and I couldn’t agree more), “a warped, twisted, comic genius mind that after watching this video I have a new found respect for.”

Spend an hour and watch this video of a talk he gave at Webstock earlier this year. Maybe watch and listen with headphones, as there are some explicit moments that are NSFW.
