These are my Delicious links for October 16th:

• Master of 500 Hats: Fear is the Mind Killer of the Silicon Valley Entrepreneur (we must be Muad’Dib, not Clark Kent) – “Silicon Valley has never been without risk or fear. in fact, quite the opposite — Silicon Valley is rife with fear & paranoia. and yet GOOD entrepreneurs somehow manage to overcome their fear, somehow make their hopes & dreams bigger than their fear, somehow manage to find imaginative solutions to problems whilst being backed into a corner by a guy with a .44 Magnum who outweighs them by 75 lbs, and nothing in his pockets but a butter knife and a paper clip. it doesn’t matter. and so i leave you with this: the true Silicon Valley entrepreneur will find a way around these obstacles; the true Silicon Valley entrepreneur is not frightened by a “down market”; they are not daunted by VCs who now have massive leverage; and they are not going to back down; the true Silicon Valley entrepreneur is full of optimism, and sees the world as his or her oyster. you are MacGyver. you are Jeanne d’Arc. you are Luke Skywalker. you are Paul FUCKING Atreides, and the SPICE must FLOW, motherfucker.”

These are my Delicious links for October 4th:

• Daily Kos: State of the Nation – Hilarious ‘Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart’. I am seriously scared for this country.
• How did Palin and Biden do? “Joe Six-Pack” and a “hockey mom” – My friend Matt was picked to be the “Average Joe” political commentator for The NY Daily News coverage of the VP debate. They describe him as “a salesman in the construction industry living in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and he drank more than one six-pack during the debate.” I legitimately found his commentary to be some of the most cogent I’ve heard coming from the news media thus far.

These are my Delicious links for September 29th:

• The Great Schlep – Hilarious video featuring Sarah Silverman to get Jewish grandkids to try to convince their grandparents in Florida to vote for Obama. Unfortunately, she’s never met my grandma…

These are my Delicious links for September 11th through September 15th:

• Vote for Change – Very well-designed user-friendly voter registration site.
• TC50: Iamnews Emerges From The DemoPit To Win People’s Choice – Nir, a very nice guy and our neighbor in the TechCrunch50 Demo Pit, won the People's Choice award for his company Iamnews, a crowdsourced newsroom paltform.
• Smack My Pitch Up: Cheap, bad pitch party upstages expensive, bad pitch party – This contest to see who could come up with the worst pitch in 45 seconds was probably the best part of TechCrunch50.
• Yodel Anecdotal » Blog Archive » Talkin’ about Girl Talk – The official recap of Girl Talk's (awesome) performance at Yahoo! Open Hack Day '08. Includes a reference to: "newly-minted celebrities, like that guy with the awesome mustache." Wonder who that could be…
• Seafood Selector – Environmental Defense Fund – List of different kinds of seafood ranked by eco-friendliness. Can be printed in a wallet card, or accessed on the phone at http://m.edf.org/seafood.
• Girl Turk: Mechanical Turk Meets Girl Talk’s “Feed the Animals” – Waxy.org – *Awesome* crowd-sourced analysis of the samples on Girl Talk's latest album. The methodology (in the latter half of the post) is IMHO more interesting than the results: Wikipedians had previously identified all 264 samples and their start-times on each track, and then Andy used Amazon's Mechanical Turk to research the release years of each song. Very cool stuff in the abstract, and an added level on which to appreciate the album and Gregg's work.
• When Algorithms Attack: How Googlebot And Tribune (And Some Idiot) Killed United Airlines Stock – Detailed analysis of how an random story from 2002 showing up on the homepage of the Florida Sun-Sentinel's site triggered a series of automated (and stupid) events resulting in the evaporation of ~$1.4B of UAL's market cap.

These are my Delicious links for September 4th through September 10th:

• Jeffrey Ross Roasts Flavor Flave – Jeff Ross's roast of Flave is one of the funniest (and most offensive) things I've ever seen on basic cable. Unfortunately, Comedy Central has only posted the beginning of it (and made sure the rest of it isn't on YouTube). The bit you see here is the tame part 🙂
• favicon.ico Generator – A fun tool for creating and sharing favicons (the little icon that appears in your browser's address bar). Has simple community features for tagging and rating shared favicons. And for extra points, their logo was created using the Web2.0 Logo Generator 😉

• THINK / Musings :: bit.ly v2 – bit.ly v2 includes a bookmarklet that produces an overlay window with information about how the link has been shared by others.
• Twitter / Rob Marquardt: Just in from McCain: .. / …. – Retweeting and favoriting this one on Twitter really just wasn't enough. One of the best tweets of all time — I mean, it's a multi-layered joke that requires a morse code translator! Brilliant!
• Wedding Website – Carrie & Damon – My best friend's wedding (site).
• Where Have You Gone, John? – I've heard a lot of people say that they haven't seen enough of Barack Obama to really know where he stands, but McCain has a proven track record. I wish those people would actually take a look at that track record and compare it to McCain's actions in this campaign. Anyone who could suffer probably the most vicious attack the Rovians ever doled out (S. Carolina '00) and then turn around and adopt those tactics is clearly not a man of principle. Maybe he was once, but this campaign has shown John McCain will do whatever he thinks it takes to become president, even if that means turning his back on his own principles. I found this article to be an unbiased analysis of McCain's transformation by someone who was actually there then and now.
