Lloyds is pants

brianalvey.com/ -I saw a TechDirt story on TechMeme this morning about a bank in the U.K. that changed one of its members' passwords -- because his original password "Lloyds is pants" was insulting to the bank. Wow. They changed it to "no it's not" and also prevented him from changing his password to both "Barclays is better" and "censorship". This wasn't a more »

The thumb is up

brianalvey.com/ -Catching up on more news from when I was offline, I found that the Ebert and Roeper (formerly Siskel and Ebert) TV show has ended. Of course, Gene Siskel died years ago and Roger Ebert hasn't been on the show in the last two years because of his own health problems. One of my favorite Weblogs, Inc. memories was when we launched our movie blog Cinematical and Roger Ebert himself commented on one of our posts. How cool is t more »

JK on the Run on the Move

brianalvey.com/ -A few months before we sold Weblogs, Inc. to AOL, we covered Live8 with them in Philadelphia. We got to meet some of our Philly bloggers for the first time at the Hard Rock Cafe there. One of them was Kevin Tofel. Kevin worked with us on PVR Wire, Engadget and HD Beat -- now known as EngadgetHD. Soon after we joined AOL he started writing for a site called more »

Crowd Fusion is funded

brianalvey.com/ -Last week was fantastic. I was back from a week away with my family -- mentally recharged and physically drained. I had played really hard in Cape Cod and was so happy to dive back into our amazing little project. Velocity Interactive Group released some details on Crowd Fusion's funding. Reading it now I just noticed how my contributions were edited. No offense to the other less famous people at our VC's, but my origin more »

Is Twitter being hacked?

brianalvey.com/ -On Thursday night I sent an update from my phone that said I was unpacking the car in Cape Cod where we are staying for our tenth anniversary. I was offline all day yesterday spending time with my family. I sent no text messages and only one email. Today when I loaded up Twitter, this was my status: REALLY FREAKING BUMMED BECAUSE I'M NOT AT THE DARK KNIGHT. =[ I never posted that to Twitter! I don't use all ca more »

Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Joss Whedon on ComicMix

brianalvey.com/ -I love Neil Patrick Harris. I met him a few years ago at Virgil's BBQ in the city and told him how much I enjoyed his short-lived show Stark Raving Mad. Neil played the book agent to Tony Shaloub's best-selling horror author and it was hilarious. He said he loved it too and was sad it didn't last. Of course, then we wouldn't have Tony Shaloub's wicked Monk or NPH's legendary Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. Anyway, Joss Whedon, of Buf more »

Link pandering, for better or for worse

brianalvey.com/ -No, this is not my take on Jason's retirement. I'll have plenty to share on his retirement and the future of blogging soon enough. For now I just wanted to say this: I prefer homage over baiting. Bill Amend's FoxTrot did a really funny more »

Verizon humor

brianalvey.com/ -I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. I like to make jokes. I like other peoples' jokes. I just don't get Verizon's peculiar sense of humor. I ordered FiOS in May. I got an installation date of June 11. On June 11, Verizon Guy #1 came to my house and said: I am here to install your FiOS. Did someone from Verizon bring the fiber line up from the street to your house yet? Of course not. The next day, Verizon Guy #2 came to more »
