Why The Verge and Vox Media are opposed to SOPA →
I didn’t intend this to be SOPA day, it just kind of happened. You should read the statement by Vox Media. The whole thing.
Copyright law in the United States hasn’t been seriously rethought since 1998 — before Google was really even a company, let alone before social networks like Twitter and Facebook and services like YouTube built empires out of regular people sharing content with...

4moms Origami Stroller
People asked me “what was the craziest thing you saw at CES?” The week was a blur but I think it was this.
Also, I work at The Verge now.

Nerdology Top 5 Games of the Year
Here is my not-at-all-anticipated top 5 games of 2011.
Batman: Arkham City
LA Noire
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (unfinished because I’m moving, but so damn charming)
Gears of War 3
Jetpack Joyride
Two notes. I haven’t found the time to play Mario Land 3D or Mario Kart 7 but I’d bet one of them would have made this list if I did. I also didn’t play Skyrim because...

What was the best piece of technology you...
This was a fun experiment last year so I thought we’d do this again.
I’m a little torn with my answer this year. It was the year of the 3DS, I bought a new TV and I decided that physical books just weren’t for me. But despite all that I think the best piece of technology I purchased this year is my HTC Flyer.
Go a head and laugh, the people at my new job certainly are. A 7...

What is SOPA and how does it work? The Stop Online... →

My hero:
“One officer was able to hit the man with his Taser, but the suspect then broke the Taser wire with his light saber”
Seriously though, LA Times, lightsaber is one word. The word is so mainstream it isn’t even underlined in red as I type this post. Also the quickest Google search of “light saber” yields the Wikipedia entry for “Lightsaber.” One...
