“I like moments of staleness and mildew, simply because it creates the lane for change. Remember when everything was full of color and happy-dappy when Bad Boy was running everything and then we came with DMX? Do you remember that summer? How excited people got? That’s my favorite moment—when I sit on a porch in the summertime and the air gets really thick. There’s no breeze. The birds start darting around. And then all of a sudden a violent storm comes through—raindrops as big as cups; lighting and thunder. I know when things get stale there’s someone making an opportunity.”

“Harry Potter has a map where he opens it up and it’s where all his friends are and where everything is going on,” he said. “I want the map with all the dots that tell me where all the best times are, where the best mozzarella sticks are and where all my friends are. That’s the map we’re trying to build.”

Bijan Sabet: Behind closed doors:

bijan:

Last year we heard friends of ours were getting a divorce. Lauren and I were surprised because they looked like the happy couple over so many years.

But as the old saying goes, it’s hard to tell what’s going on behind closed doors.

This week we watched Mitt Romney behind closed doors. We…

“I don’t like this expression ‘First World problems.’ It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.”

A Dictionary of Despicable Words

awesome. ”The worst word on the planet is awesome. It appears to be the only surviving adjective denoting approval or admiration. Beautiful, good, admirable, excellent, amazing—all dead as a doornail. Of course, it’s even more dreadful when preceded by the word like, as in ‘I saw that movie last night. It was, like, AWESOME!!’”

epic. “You mean to tell me epic wasn’t even considered?” Our epic mistake, man.

hate. For reasons having to do with the definition. Especially ”when used in a manner such as ‘You are just so full of hate.’”

hipster. See above.

China’s Liu Xiang provides the single most agonizing and inspiring moment of the Olympics so far. Liu had previously won the gold medal for 110m Hurdles in 2004 but was sidelined by an injury in his Achilles tendon in 2008.

Just watch. It’ll be the best two minutes you spend today.

“Campazzo said after the game he apologized to Kobe Bryant but not to Anthony, because Chris Paul hadn’t apologized for punching him earlier in the game.”

- 2012 London Olympics — Carmelo Anthony calls cheap shot by Argentina’s Facundo Campazzo ‘uncalled for’ - ESPN

So, Chris Paul punches you. You punch Melo. And then you apologize to Kobe.

Makes no sense.

But Chris Paul does have a history of cheap shots.

foursquare:

We love when people tweet about dragging themselves to the gym to earn the Gym Rat badge, or about trying a new restaurant hoping to unlock the Pizzaiolo badge. Encouraging real-world actions is a big part of the mission behind foursquare. We’re also aware that some of those behaviors…

Frictionless, cross-platform badge unlocking and sharing.

4sq was ahead of the game when they introduced this in 2010.

This is very smart.

I always forget to check in at the gym.
