Can’t wait for day light savings. I want to go out for drinks after work while it’s still light out.

I can’t help myself. If I see a new Brooklyn beer I haven’t tried, I have to buy it.

Today at Vimeo we launch Statistics! This has been one of the biggest and coolest projects I have ever worked on. I am very happy with what we all accomplished and I am sure that the Vimeo community will agree. Big thanks to Sox, Cory, Joe, Ryan, Blake, Andrew, Andrea, Jack, and Casey.

Check out http://www.vimeo.com/stats now for the video and demo!!!

This is the longest thing we’ve ever worked on. The stats system is a monster from front to back, it records something like ~200M data points a day (and designed to scale much much larger) and spits it out in what I think is the prettiest and most intuitive analytics interface out there. Massive congrats to everyone involved but a special shout out to Kevin and Cory, who have been refining this for literally a year.

Looks really awesome guys. Congrats!

Reconciliation - LET’S DO THIS!

Though I have to say Brooks makes a good point (as usual) about the cuts to taxes on the high cost plans so if anyone has anything worth reading on that - I’d love to see it.

I know everyone is tired of health care reform and tired of me talking about it. But if you want to know what’s going on I recommend watching this video and the next one I’m about to post (Shields and Brooks ♥).

I know I also say this all the time but - The News Hour on PBS is the only real news show on television (doesn’t include TDS or Colbert) worth watching.

permalink I made the mistake of looking at apartment listings this evening (my mom is thinking about getting a place in the city). This happens to me a lot when looking at real estate: I start out really reasonable but then I quickly get totally out of control. Here’s my latest obsession: it’s a 7,000 SF Triplex in a 1914 landmark Clock Tower building in dumbo with a private roof deck. 25Mil. No biggy.
I don’t actually have 25Mil on hand right now so I’m going to give you all the link in hopes that someone I know will buy it so I can rent a room. Dream Home.

And Then There Was Salsa
Now this is how you do a site takeover (and also how you continue the stereotype that latin people can dance).

This is so ridiculous it’s ridiculous.
