More politicians have retracted their support of either or both the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) since Rep. Ben Quayle (R-AZ) and Rep. Lee Terry (R-NB), two co-sponsors of SOPA, did so yesterday and this morning.
Also one of our intrepid Tumblrers went down to…
They are on the ropes.
Few things about this:
Reddit is an amazing site, and thanks to them for really helping to lead the fight for Team “Doesn’t Hate The Internet and Innovation” (working title)
This guy should be elected to Congress
Read the whole article. This is no BS, straight from a sysadmin who will have to deal with the technical challenges that the bill has.
If you are a Redditor and have not already, consider supporting Reddit via Reddit Gold - its the least we can do to say “Thanks”

I was on with the Minnov8 crew this morning talking about CES. It was a fun segment - they are all great guys.
This, and a new Bond? Feels good man.

Artist Nix felt inspired after finishing Bastion to try his hand and modeling the kid. The results are downright beautiful.
This looks amazing - not to mention Bastion was one of my favorite games of 2011
128bits is a lot of bits.
Very cool
I am now back home after 4 days at the Consumer Electronics Show. It was an interresting year - you could tell from the floor that the economy was turning around, but there was no breakout hit like years past (3D in 2010, Tablets in 2011).
I will have a few posts in the next week or so about my experience, and what I thought of everything. However, I wanted to share some numbers I collected via my Fitbit while walking the floor:
I started counting at 4:30AM Sunday, when I got up to leave for Vegas. I stopped when I got to my apartment late last night.
Over the 4 days:
- 66004 steps
- 32.37 miles
- 44 floors climbed
- 91.25 hours total door to door
That breaks down to:
- 723.33 steps/hour
- 12 steps a minute
- An average speed of .366 MPH (that includes time when I was asleep)
- 11 floors a day (the Fitbit only counts climbing stairs, so that’s just one way)
Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse.
I should probably explain.
Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That is to say, I don’t hate the concept of Android — in fact, at one point, I loved it. What I hate is what Android has become. And more specifically, what Google has done with Android.
This is the Nokia Lumia 900. We had to take a long elevator up to the Playboy Club at The Palms to find it, but after some searching we got our hands on a lone black Lumia 900. | The Verge
Super sweet phone. WP7 is doing some really great things on great hardware.
