My birthday karaoke challenge: Forty by 40

February 1st, 2011  |  by mykl  |  published in music, observed

OK, here’s the situation. I turn 40 in a few weeks and feel the need to prove to myself that I still have a little mojo left. So I’m embarking on a personal challenge — to sing 40 karaoke songs between now and the time the clock strikes midnight on my birthday on February 18. [...]

My Twitterview Transcript

January 20th, 2011  |  by mykl  |  published in observed

Try saying that three times fast. I was the lucky subject of a Twitterview (interview via Twitter) by Joel Carlson earlier this week. You can read the transcript, and see a ginormous photo of me, on his blog. Thanks again to Joel for the opportunity.

Comedy Central has a new logo

December 9th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in design, observed, typography

Comedy Central revealed their new logo today, the first major logo change for the cable channel in nearly 10 years.  Bob Salazar, senior vice president/creative director, brand creative for Comedy Central says it is “…more than a logo, it is everything you know about Comedy Central but in this more modern proposition.” I’m not sure [...]

Adding peanut butter and chocolate certainly amps things up. However, the pièce de résistance of this recipe is bacon. Not just as [...]

Happy National UnFriend Day

November 17th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in observed, social web

A few weeks ago, Jimmy Kimmel declared November 17th a new holiday – National UnFriend Day. “NUD is the international day when all Facebook users shall protect the sacred nature of friendship by cutting out any ‘friend fat’ on their pages occupied by people who are not truly their friends.” While I’m a strong supporter [...]

Google Doodle: John Lennon

October 8th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in design, observed

Google celebrated John Lennon’s 70th birthday a little early (it’s tomorrow) with their first video doodle today. The animation is based one of Lennon’s hand-drawn self-portraits (included as the two O’s) and synced with a verse of Imagine. It’s been fun to watch Google experiment with different media in this space.

Liked: The Social Network Movie

October 1st, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in observed, social web

Unless you’re a Friendster user or have been too distracted by your FarmVille crops (it *is* harvest season after all) you probably know that The Social Network was released today. I’ll avoid revealing any spoilers but wanted to share some of my thoughts. I was lucky enough to take in an advanced screening for SMBMSP [...]
