Yesterday I received a reply to an email I’d sent to Sen. Ben Cardin that contained a link to my open letter on Net Neutrality. Here is what he said: Dear Christiaan: Thank you for contacting me in opposition to network neutrality. Due to the widespread growth of Internet broadband use, the issue that Congress [...]

An Open Letter to Congress, the FCC and the White House on Net Neutrality & the Google-Verizon Deal
The Net Neutrality debate seems to have reached critical mass, and it’s making me angry. Google and Verizon have struck a deal to submit a proposal to lawmakers that, in short, would stand to kill the Internet as we know it. I’m not being dramatic or fear mongering, I’m stating the reality of the situation. [...]

This Girl Beats the JetBlue Flight Attendant
At this point, pretty much everyone’s heard about Steven Slater’s dramatic exit from his job this week. He’s quickly become something of a cultural icon, and his story is pretty hilarious & creative. This one is equally (perhaps even more) funny & creative. Her name was initally thought to be Jenny, but she was in [...]
Why the New YouTube Mobile Site is Better Than the Mobile Apps
A couple of weeks ago YouTube released their new mobile site, which added some really cool features. The most notable: watch videos directly from the mobile site in a device-native format, without the need for a dedicated app. Aside from this being really cool from a technical standpoint – as an indicator of the true [...]
Music Downloads Are Dead
…or at least they are for me. For the past two weeks I’ve been using Grooveshark exclusively for music. I initially learned of & heard good things about the service on an episode of This Week in Google and figured I’d give it a try. After all, it’s only $3 a month for unlimited streaming [...]
My Firefighting Training Saved Me, My Family & Our Property
As I mentioned the other day, and have been making subsequent posts about, my family & I are currently on vacation at our place in Maine. It’s been a great trip so far, and has been relaxing – for the most part. Yesterday evening we had some rain, which started out as a very pleasant [...]

Alex Albrecht has a BMW M3
Alex Albrecht, cohost of the show Diggnation and a few other shows on Revision3, also happens to be a BMW guy. For a while he’s been leasing a 335i and has mentioned it a few times on Diggnation. Recently though, his lease came up and he opted to make the jump into ///M – and [...]
The 5 Series Touring is Still Better than the GT
From the first announcement and unveiling of the 5 Series Gran Turismo, I haven’t liked it at all. It looks like a cross between a Porsche Panamera and an X6 – in a bad way. It takes the worst elements of a bunch of different cars, and blends them into one big rolling box of [...]
