“We procrastinate when we’ve forgotten who we are.”
It has been an exciting couple of weeks. I haven’t been blogging much this summer, but due to my new job, I’ll be sharing my thoughts about the web television industry, and Tubefilter, on a more frequent basis.
Our new management team, including (from left to right above) Joshua Cohen, Marc Hustvedt, myself, Jamison Tilsner, and Drew Baldwin, are more dedicated than ever to supporting the burgeoning community of content creators that make the web television industry such an exciting place to work. We’ve got a lot of cool things in store this winter — we’re looking forward to sharing them with you soon.

I quite suddenly have type envy. Beauchef, designed by Chilean typographer Juan Pablo de Gregorio, is an absolutely exquisite example of a grotesque sans serif.
If you’ve ever been in doubt, this is how you market a web series. Congratulations to Felicia and the entire Guild team. (via Tubefilter)
An example of excellent camouflage. You would never guess that these pandas are actually elephants, would you?
I’m both a supporter and implementor of OpenID (as well as a card carrying member of the OpenID Foundation) — but one thing I’ve always struggled with is that many OpenID providers force you to use cryptic, hard to remember URLs as your primary identifier.
Wouldn’t it be great if the one URL you never forgot (your Tumblr), also served as your OpenID? Making that happen is easier than you’d imagine. So, in the spirit of independence day, set your OpenID free!
Here’s what you need to do:
<link rel=”openid.server” href=”http://openid.com/server” />
<link rel=”openid.delegate” href=”http://openid.com/user” />
Obviously, you can also use this method for any website — so don’t be shy, why not configure all of your sites to function as an OpenID?
If the internet was a map at the front of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel.
