Silicon Valley: for those too ugly for DC

2 Feb

If Tivo-ing the new season of American Idol wasn’t enough of a guilty pleasure (didn’t those Austin auditions suck?), now I’ve got Valleywag from Gawker Media. Wow, a gossip blog about the world I inhabit! But it doesn’t take long to puncture any feelings of Silicon Valley self-importance in this post:

If D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people, then Silicon Valley is D.C. for the even uglier.

Ouch.

I love it.

Amr, blogging star

1 Feb

Amr Awadallah is Yahoo’s new blogging star — he really hit the mark with his Google earnings predictions (which got picked up on CNN/Money and other places, I’m sure. See his “i told you so” post from yesterday).

There is some serious blogging mojo in my vicinity at work these days — Jeremy is my cubemate and Amr is about ten feet away. Anyway, nice call, Amr.
