I live in LA and create companies on the Internet.

Incredible idea, photography (Peter Lindbergh), and execution. 

I love the car, too.

Do you belong to a religion? If so, what's your reasoning behind it?

It’s been a pretty bankable week for me. This morning capped it off as I checked the mail and found a check from a company that I didn’t even know owed me. Interesting. As a self-employed person, it always feels great when you get paid. The productive achievement euphoria is much higher than say if I was working at Barnes & Noble and got a check at the end of the month.  I hope that the people who sit around and gossip about me are being productive.

….religion’s time has come and gone. Turning to religion as a way to find meaning and truth in life is like reverting to a geocentric model of the solar system to explain the sun’s movement across the sky.

Brandon Fletcher - Mother’s Day

It’s 5:09 in the morning and I just finished producing, writing, recording, and mixing this rap ballad for my mom. I had a blast making this. Hopefully she likes it! My girlfriend caught footage of the creation process - if the quality isn’t horrible, I will upload.

(Chorus) x2

I said, this goes out, this goes out

To all the mothers in the world

(Verse)

Mom, I really, really love you to the death

I would give you anything, even the heart in my chest

You the best, you the best

You deserve nothing less

Even when I was depressed

You would help me with the stress

And, tell me one day I would accomplish all my dreams

Tell me that there’re things that are bigger than they seem

Now, I know what you mean

Now, I know what you mean

Maizie Flax, the permanent member on my team

(Chorus) repeat

…the fundamental standard for all relationships is the trader principle. This principle holds that we should interact with people on the basis of the values we can trade with them - values of all sorts, including common interests in art, sports or music, similar philosophical outlooks, political beliefs, sense of life, and more. Trade, in this broad sense, is the only proper basis of any relationship—including relationships with members of our families.

Malini Kochar

I’ve been feeling this way for a while now, it’s good to hear someone else realize that this is the only way to go about conducting relationships. In the past, I’ve mistakenly dealt with people who have no value (to me). Starting today, I will only follow the “trader principle”.

We continue to hold out a good deal of hope and potential - but, without putting too fine a point on it, it [MySpace Music] has disappointed us so far.

Edgar Bronfman Jr., Head of Warner Music speaks on MySpace’s lack of innovation.

Side note: PaidContent is really good. It’s my new “check-everyday” website. Also added AdWeek back to this category since they fixed their incredibly slow site-load.
