“As a sometime practitioner, I can attest that free soloing is exciting and totally worth the experience when you don’t fall and die. When you fall while free soloing and die, you’re not on earth anymore and people miss you. And probably nobody thinks that last free solo was a good idea.”

“There are few moments where we have the opportunity to win a battle against our own vanity in a medium that encourages constant self-promotion. The restraint of not using a real photo for an avatar even though I am EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL is a similar one of my monastic vows. To deny the indulgence of verification is a small gesture which holds religious meaning to me. We should not ask to be rewarded for our good tweets in this life; we must have faith that God has boundless favs and RTs awaiting us in Heaven.”

“MySpace and Neopets taught a generation how to mess with HTML, covertly turning consumers into producers. Mozilla can bring that same educational opportunity to Instagram. We can make it open and add the ability to analogously “view-source.” Why not use Javascript to modify, create and share new filters? Or change the layout of your profile? Or clone and host your own version of Instagram that has video? In other words, let both users and developers remix Instagram.
In doing so Mozilla could become a powerful second-mover in the market. But why stop with Instagram? We should be prying open Mailbox, Gmail, AWS, and many others. By amplifying an existing product and injecting it with our DNA, Mozilla can defend the open web.
Developing products that embody openness is the most powerful way to shape the policy conversation. Back those products with hundreds of millions of users and you have a game-changing social movement. Expanding those social movements beyond the browser is the legacy that Firefox deserves.

WHAT.IN.THE.FUCK?
I saw this fucking thing from Saveur in my inbox today nominating Thug Kitchen as one of the best new food blogs for 2013. I was responding to fan mail when I saw this shit and my ass thought it was spam for sure.Thug Kitchen wouldn’t have been noticed for this award without all you guys so… shit, thanks. I’m honored as fuck for the nomination especially since I share it with some real talented motherfuckers.
If any of y’all feel like showing some love with a vote, click here (it’s legit I promise). Honestly, if we can just get “FUCK” up anywhere on their site I will consider this a huge win.
“Detroit hustles harder. Have you heard that? It’s like our slogan. You can’t be afraid of failure here. A lot of us don’t have a lot to lose.”
