Diabetes information website

lee — Thu, 14 May 2009 23:52:13 +0000

This is shameless plug for a site my company recently launched. We believe it is the best site on the web for finding diabetes information, diabetes news, diabetes recipes for diabetics. You get the idea. HMDiabetes.com

The death of Twitter

lee — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:48:24 +0000

I’m predicting the death of Twitter. I give it a year at most. David Pogue did a video. The NYTimes is writing about it as a business story, not a tech story, and everyone I know in business is talking about how to “leverage” it, I predict it will soon be suffocating under the weight of too many noobs, too many marketers, too much tweet-spam (is there a term for that?). It will lose its cool factor, and the opinion-leaders will move on to geekier pastures.
Remember, I called it first!

Two posters that caught my eye

The first is funny, and the 2nd is a sad reminder that even though Boston was part of the “North”, it was not above slavery at one time.

Signs of the Apocalypse

The Latest lineup for “Dancing with the Stars”:

Belinda Carlisle, singer with the Go-Go’s and a solo artist.
David Alan Grier, host of “Chocolate News.”
Jewel, singer, married to fellow competitor Ty Murray.
Shawn Johnson, Olympic medalist in gymnastics.
Lil Kim, hip-hop artist, fashion icon, and ex-con.
Gilles Marini, Samantha’s hot neighbor in the “Sex and the City” movie.
Ty Murray, rodeo champion, married to fellow competitor Jewel.
Nancy O’Dell, “Access Hollywood” host.
Denise Richards, actress, reality star, and Charlie Sheen ex.
Steve-O, “Jackass” alum.
Lawrence Taylor, former NFL star.
Chuck Wicks, country singer.
Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder.

Actually the Real Housewives of the OC were all the proof I needed.

Funny how Europeans invented this sort of reality TV, but it took Americans to really debase the shows.

Obey and Obama - the artist behind both

lee — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:12:49 +0000

I always wondered about the origin of the “Obey” stencils around Boston. Now I know — the graffiti artist, who also did the Obama “hope” poster, has a show at the ICA now. He’s also being sued by the AP for basing his Obama poster on a photo they own the rights to, and the Boston police have arrested him for illegal street graffiti. Hmm, artist or criminal? Theft or fair use?

Douglas MacArthur on war

lee — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:31:46 +0000

These quotes have been timely ever since they were recorded, decades ago.

“It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.”
–Douglas MacArthur

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.”
–Douglas MacArthur

Where did he go?

lee — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 02:20:25 +0000

OK, so it’s pretty clear by now that I hardly ever post blog entries, and I have not found a theme for this blog. And it will only get worse, because I’ve been working as a creative director for the past 16 months at EPS Communications, so I’m not spending any time hanging around the lbdesign.com domain. Sorry folks.

Update on the national debt

lee — Fri, 30 May 2008 02:00:27 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted. In that time, the national debt has increased nearly 1 trillion dollars. This is an unprecedented increase in such a short amount of time. The national debt is now $9,392,490,000,000. Which breaks out to a per-citizen share of about $30,889 for each citizen.
