Dear Internet,
Katie and I have launched a new site called I want to see that! We’ve also launched a companion video podcast or “comvplobcast” called I want to see that podcast! I don’t care which one of those you subscribe to, as long as you subscribe to both!
The idea of our awesome new […]
Dear Internet,
How are you? Well, I hope. There are some new things I need to show you that I think you will like, made by friends of mine who are cool. You like to click links, right? If you don’t like to click links, then wtf are you doing all day?

This Halloween, my personal Website turned 10-years old. I registered benbrown.com on October 31, 1997. I was 19. Holy crap! I also registered Flabjab.com that day for the Webzine I ran out of my dorm room at the University of Maryland. I actually hosted the domains on a linux […]

One of the things that I tell people who want to build an […]
Everyone I know, meaning Adam, Andre and Andy, has recently mentioned a new videogame called Portal. Even though my name does not start with an A, and my website does not end with a .org, I do not want to be left out of the conversation on this topic. Unfortunately, my pals have […]
I just posted a blog entry on Merlin Mann’s 43Folders. It is called Why don’t you just shut up? and is about how much I love Gmail’s MUTE feature, and how much I hate everything else. I personally guarantee that reading this post will not make you dramatically more productive. Obviously not, […]
I bought the iPhone Bluetooth Headset with the $100 rebate Steve Jobs gave me as a personal gift for having been a loyal fan and close personal friend of his for so long. It is so tiny that I am afraid that I will lose it at any second. Also, the battery life […]
It is universally acknowledged that it is difficult to find a good bagel, unless you live in New York, where people think that good bagels grow on trees. Those of us outside of Manhattan know that when you find a place that knows how to make and serve a good bagel, you honor […]
