Rain Shadow People
"IRFH blogs the ghosts of the nouveau tubular age." (Whatever that means.) Mostly, it means I've started blogging. Primarily geek-style humor, at the moment. But it could change. I could start bloggin' cats & recipes any damn minute now. (Knowing me, though, I'd be more likely to start blogging cat recipes. Declawed cat recipes. Mmmm...)

Metafilter Compilation Album released!
With Matt's blessing, I'm pleased to announce the official, discs-are-in-the-mail, order-yours-today release of the Metafilter Compilation Album—a collection of original tracks by 24 different mefite music acts, put together over seven or so months, with all profits going to charity. We've got about 800 more of these discs, and there's not much time until Christmas/Hannukah/HappyGiftDay.

radio free #mofirc
This is a small online radio station created by #mofirc (the IRC channel loosely associated with Monkeyfilter; some of us are dual MeFi/MoFi members). We maintain 24/7 uptime and play something for everyone: our DJs broadcast whatever they like! This is our broadcast schedule (we do not fill all the slots in advance, sometimes we broadcast on the fly with whoever is currently available in channel); and you can read more about our station on the MoFi wiki. (We were inspired by Radio MeCha a while back, so, props!)

Viral Video Chart
We couldn't find anything that quite hit the nail on the head, so we built this, a daily chart of the most blogged about videos on YouTube, Google Video and MySpace. It's completely automated and counts both links and video embeds on several million blogs a day. There's also an archive of previous number ones. If you think it's any good, please vote for it on digg or reddit, too.

I am not a terrorist: The Shirt
I offer this shirt as my response to the ridiculousness of the hysteria. All the shirts are set to $1.00 more than the Spreadshirt base price — all profits will be sent to the ACLU.

MailSpaces
Looking for a better alternative to Yahoo Groups? We've built this thing that squishes together the ideas of mailing lists, forums and wikis into a single knitted-together space and then automatically tags everything.

Click survey
I want to find out where people click on on this sample painting. Try it out, your click will be saved, and you'll be able to see the patterns that emerged from other clicks so far. The more people click, the better the results, I imagine.

Healthbolt
My site is a health news blog for people who aren't health nuts, but that are interested. It's also my first crack at web hosting/blogging/using ftp/wordpress etc. I'm basically teaching myself to be a webmaster and I'm starting a topical news blog to do it. I've gotten good response from my friends and family, but I want the opinion of people I don't know, that don't know me. I'm also hoping this will get me some regular users, etc...

24-Hour International Blogathon
After a two-year hiatus, I'm finally back at the helm of the Blogathon. When we began in 2001, we found ourselves constantly explaining what exactly it was that we did. Now there are blogathons everywhere. The concept is simple: choose a charity, collect sponsorships, and on July 29, beginning at 6am Pacific, update your blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours. Signups opened today. The site is all-new, and we'll be adding more snazzy features as the date draws closer. Stay up late, make a difference.

My Juggling Music Video Entry - Fatboy Slim Video Contest
Vova Galchenko is one of the world's greatest living jugglers. I teamed up with him over the last month to create an entry in Fatboy Slim's latest music video contest. Please comment, rate and share this video.

Beating Bush
This is the first volume of my book about the 2004 election. It's not a book about George Bush (and it's even less about John Kerry). In fact, Beating Bush is not really about politics. Rather, it's about the experience 'on the ground' -- about regular people trying to save the world -- in stories of comedy, tragedy, and at least one romance. A synopsis is here.
The book reads like a novel, and it also lays out an argument concerning the kind of campaigns I was working on: corporatized, centralized, subcontracted 'grassroots' operations. My employer was Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. If you live in a major metropolitan area or a swing state, we probably approached you at least once-- though you wouldn't know it, as we were operating under the names of the Democratic National Committee and MoveOn PAC.
Beating Bush takes time to make its argument -- but in the next two weeks I'll be laying it out face-first (de-literarifed) in a series of blog posts. [Spoiler alert!] Head there if you'd like to find out more about the subject -- or, even better, if you've participated in such a campaign and can share your experience. (And if you know what a PIRG is, or what 'the Fund' is, you might be especially interested in this.)

Socially filtered funny links site
I'm working on a social filtering site that's exclusively devoted to humor. We're currently relying on manual submissions from a handful of people and we'd love some more contributors. We're also working hard on tools to automate submissions from blogs and to spider the web for funny content and will shortly have a widget that let's you display what's made you laugh recently. Please take a look and tell us what you think and what we could do better!

My Apple-meets-The-Da-Vinci-Code Satire
It’s only the one page, and is intended to be a light-hearted take on the incredible loyalty that Apple products inspire. In retrospect, I probably should have gone with www.AppleDei.com, but that occurred to me about two hours too late.

Best Week Ever
This is what I've been working on for the last five months...we quietly launched in late April. Yes, I work for media megagiant Viacom...there's no use denying it. But the reason I'm posting is because we get to be the skunkworks, and I want to prove to MTVN & Viacom that you can use open-source software, free, DRM-less video (full episodes of the show in the podcast feed!) and massive linkiness to be a success online. I mean, the fights I had to wage- explaining why one would link to non-Viacom sites, for example, or how it is one might want to change one's site post-launch- basically ate my life in '06. You have no idea how hard it is to explain our version of Digg to lawyers. Now I ask you: what else can I do? In other words, if you had a budget and an international media conglomerate's attention, what would be your next move?

El Boton
"An inch of love for everyone." Limited edition sets of 1" buttons. We're offering one set a month, each with a different theme or designer.
The first set was icons for each of Chicago's train lines. Set #2 is by well-known web designers. The sets come packaged with a series card and an El Boton logo button, which itself is being produced in batches, each batch with a different color combo. Fun little things to decorate your jacket or laptop bag!
