Hi. I'm Mike Hudack and this is my Tumblr. I'm a high school dropout, the CEO of blip.tv and a former warblogger. Also check out the blip.tv blog.
Software is easy to build and distribute. It’s easy to simply give it to someone and hope they figure it out and possess enough reason to use it well. But this type of software will eventually die out, replaced with software that teaches you how to get better at the activity for which it is designed.

I couldn’t agree more.

ericmortensen: Moving above 720p requires additional horsepower.  In Apple’s case, higher resolutions also won’t be viewable on iPod/iPhone/iPad. But this is fine, because the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t have a fast enough pipe to watch proper 1080p video. Your Internet tubes are the same size whether you’re streaming 720p or 1080p.  If it’s not being distributed on a disc or downloaded in full, it’s highly likely that 720p video will actually look better than 1080p. I’ll take more bits per line over more lines any day.

soupsoup: willhutson: Tumblr is all growns up. Just like that - in stream app purchases complete the transaction loop that’s been missing from the platform. The directory and marketplace haven’t the real backing to be a stream - but this mmm - very exciting. Congrats. Awesome

I’m in a house atop a hill in Chateauneuf, in the mini-Alps, just north of Nice. I’ve decided to stay. I’m not coming home. Sorry.

section9: caterpillarcowboy: jeninla: Today, I got a statement for my emergency appendectomy and two-day hospital stay. I now know firsthand that this post is not bullshit. I have never, ever been more thankful for health insurance. But, honestly, I’m beyond heartbroken thinking about those who are not as fortunate. Well, truth be told, if they don’t have it, they simply don’t pay. Then we do, yes?
