    I follow John Chow, in part because he's a funny, smart guy and in part because I generally bump into him once a week at least at some Social Media Gabfest. Whatever else he is, he's a brilliant man.

    He is absolutely the most unabashed capitalist you will ever meet, and that includes the entire staff and management of Haliburton. His "Black Hat Tips for Making Money Online" talk last year at WordCamp Fraser Valley was jaw-dropping. The tagline of his blog is "I make money online teaching people to make money online." And it's true.

    It's kind of like watching Conrad Black...you can't help but be fascinated, even if you hate yourself for watching.

    I'm surprised, actually, he put the (ad) on there. Most of the ads I get are either DM spam from people who are too dim to realize their accounts are compromised because they gave their password to "get your blog's birth sign" apps OR they're not identified as ads. Kudos to him for doing it, and no, it's not going to cost him any followers. His crowd just wants to know how they get that deal (kinda like Gawker reporting on Emily's book).

    Ironically, of John Chow's 50,000 followers bombarded with ads, 20% are spambots with photos of hot girls for avatars.

    And the cycle continues...

    In reply to The 99th Percentile Bowl: 2009's Harvard-Yale Game, A Compiled Air-to-Ground Report
    Smithhimself was at The Game on the Yale side. A cheerful day with the usual drinking that continued at the Elizabethan Club. Compared to watching Nebraska or Florida play football, the Ivy League is really... well, it's high school level sports activity. But the sky was blue, my shirt was blue and, yes, a good time was had by all.

    I would say that one aspect of the contest is not false. I truly do believe that Harvard is a vile institution.

    The game is stupid; however, visiting spectators are pretty much guaranteed to be drunk and laid by the end of the day, so.

    I never understood the level of pride these schools have in their shitty football. Especially when you can go to Stanford, where the Heisman candidate trying to lead the school to the Rose Bowl is a Management Science and Engineering major who plans on getting a JD/MBA. Everyone at The Game deserves a good noogie.

    I do believe that's the first direct address comma I've ever seen in a tweet. It kind of takes the sting out of the fuck you.
