Welcome to CNET Third Thursday

May 15, 2008 – 3:22 pm

Every third Thursday, we celebrate with a themed party on the plaza.

Today was extra special, of course.

I am four beers deep, and I wanna go back outside. I will post more photos later.

Now I work for CBS

May 15, 2008 – 6:34 am

When a young kid has to go move in with his grandparents, it’s not always the best fit, but CBS acquiring CNET might just work.

The suits at Viacom might know something the market doesn’t. That’s right, the Internet is not getting any smaller. Those old janky television sets are not quite as engaging as this [...]

Live podcasting is the new black

March 24, 2008 – 9:58 am

As I was watching Buzz Out Loud today, I felt eerily comfortable interacting with a podcast.

For the past three months, I have been busy coding mockups for the redesign of ZDNet.com, and today it finally goes live.

There aren’t many new features, but the new design makes the site [...]

Jason Howell’s identity revealed

February 22, 2008 – 2:14 pm

I am definitely a Buzz Out Loud fan boy. I always hear listeners complain about not being able to see what Jason looks like. Well, today, he went live. Luckily I got a screenshot:

Hey look, there’s Veronica too. I hope they go live every day. I would still listen to the podcast even if I [...]

Iminta the web, are you?

February 10, 2008 – 5:36 pm

My former colleague at CNET is putting his Moo-magic to work on a new startup called Iminta.

I have seen sites before where you can hook in all your feeds, but this one was the easiest to use. Even easier than Google’s Jaiku.

Iminta feels like a Flash application, but it’s purely Javascript. Once you add friends, [...]
