Very cool interview with David Karp the founder of Tumblr which powers this site. (and we are investors in his company).

Unfortunately Forbes doesn’t provide embed code so here’s a link to the original video.

There are plenty of differences between soccer in the United States compared with the rest of the world.

But take a look at these two photos from this week and compare the field itself the the number of fans.

This is Fred’s in Sheffield.

And here’s the photo I took last night at Gillette Stadium.

But there is something very funny about hearing fans with a thick boston accent shout, “that guy should get a yella caaaaaard”

Rather than a single post, I thought I would just jot down a bunch of random thoughts for today.

1. I love Shazam. Hold up your iphone to any audio source (radio) and it will tell you the song, artist & album info.

2. Fred thinks there should be a Shazam for photos. He’s right. Great idea.

3. Muxfind & Muxtape are like peanut butter & jelly. I’m using those two services much more than Last.fm these days. I find wonderful muxtapes every day just like this one.

4. I didn’t run this morning and now feel restless & antsy

5. I love the olympics

6. I’m thinking about buying the Flip Mino. My Sanyo Xacti is small and better video quality but too cumbersome.

7. California Supreme Courts weigh in on non-competes. They have it right. MA, NY, WA et al have it wrong.

8. Check out this amazing tumbelog. Simple lyric line with a mp3 post with a gorgeous design.

9. I read constantly but not enough books. I’m trying to change that. So based on a dear friends recommendation I’ve just signed up for GoodReads. It’s sort of like last.fm for books. If you love books then consider joining and add me as a friend.
