3 Encores!!!

Bloc Party Saw Bloc Party last night at the Fillmore with Arsie—like their first performance there, they played three encores. They really know how to play to a crowd—I’m stoked for Cut/Copy and Yelle coming up!

Feature Creep at the Gate

Re-blogging Eric’s post from our internal blog:

Here are my notes from reading 37signals book, Getting Real—it's an outstanding read. Money quote:

"Each time you say yes to a feature, you’re adopting a child. You have to take your baby through a whole chain of events (e.g. design, implementation, testing, etc.). And once that feature’s out there, you’re stuck with it. It’s like ‘Fight Club.’ You should only consider features if they’re willing to stand on the porch for three days waiting to be let in."

This should be tattooed on the back of the eyelids of any PM or founder.

29!

My homie Case turned 29 yesterday, and we threw a party for him at my house:

Furai

Completely floored—this car is beautiful. The Mazda Furai concept runs E100 through a Mazda rotary engine. It runs. This is the most lust-worthy concept car I’ve seen in years. I feel like I’m 10 again.

Korean BBQ is the new Taco Truck

After waking up at 6 AM, after coffee and chats with the awesome Korean BBQ truck near the 22nd street Caltrain station, after taking Muni to the mission to retrieve the motorcycle, bobble-headed to Girl Talk, I met up with Chris at the gym. Sending 11As on a hangover is pretty fucking sweet. I think I leveled up.

Did I mention that Girl Talk is my hero?
