Gee, Wally, these blender videos never get old, do they?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYY3IUdNM8U&hl=en&fs=1] Yeah, I know. These videos suck. And yet the doofballs keep making them. And other doofballs keep watching them. Just doesn’t seem fair to me that Fake Steve shuts down, while the blendertards just keep booming, along with icanhascheezburger and Perez Hilton. Groan. Don’t get me started.

What's the best iPhone app?

Filed: Personal

Just did a quick videocam intereview with a guy named Justin who has a show called TalkingheadTV and he was asking me which iPhone apps I like best.

See here. Arik Hesseldahl says he’s talked to a source close to Apple who says Real Steve is okay. This was in response to this article in the New York Post suggesting otherwise. I hope Arik is right.

Emails rolling in about the RSS feed not working right. The ninjas at WordPress assure me they are working on it and will have it sorted ASAP. Okay?

Hello, cruel world

Filed: Personal, Tech

So I wanted to get out and stay out. I really did. I wanted at least to have the summer off. But stuff keeps happening and I can’t resist. Jerry Yang and Carl Icahn and Steve Ballmer continue doing their frigtarded three-way monkey dance. It’s getting to be like one of those Ricky Gervais bits [...]

Fake Steve buys an iPhone, gets no respect
