My friend Phil (aka PUD) of FuckedCompany.com fame has started an anonymous moblogging project. Basically you send your photo to pics@mobog.comand a minute later they are on his site ready for users to make comments on them.

Be prepared for some adult snapshots if you visit the site anonymity has it’s downside (or upside depending on what you’re into I guess).

Going to the DMV in New York City is not a lot of fun. I’m waiting for my new license as we speak, blogging over a 200k pipe thanks to my Verizon Kyocera highspeed phone which I’ve got hooked up to my Sony laptop. A fat pipe makes everything better.

We (VentureReporter.net) just spent the day moving into our new office space at 30 West 21st Street. How ironic that five years later we are able to afford the rent in Silicon Alley again!

We moved in with Connors Communications, the most excellent PR firm in the world run by the most excellent Connie Connors. Connie was one of the first advertisers in Silicon Alley Reportershe bought ads before it even existed!

So, anyway, if you’re looking for us you know where to find us, and if you’re looking for a great PR firm I can’t say enough good things about Connors!

Based on the recommendation of my good friend Nick Jarecki I Netflixed The Gambler (1974) with James Caan. It is written by James Toback, the subject of Nick’s upcoming documentary.

Great film. One of those films that could have only been made between 1967 and 1975.

This is a first. Yahoo IM is going to go down at midnight tonight for scheduled maintenance.I guess I can’t complain since Yahoo IM is free, but the couple of times Yahoo went down WITHOUT notice over the past couple of years we had some big problems at my last company (VentureReporter.net). It is amazing how quickly you can become dependant on something like IM.

YahooSystemAdmin: In continuing to provide a quality service, Yahoo! Messenger will be unavailable temporarily while under going a scheduled maintenance at 8:00 PM PST today. You will automatically be disconnected at that time. Please finish any conversations in progress before that time. After the maintenance has been completed, you will be able to successfully login.

Went to see Sprewell came back to the Garden on Tuesday night and was not disappointed. Sprewell put on a show in his TimberWolves uniform, but you could tell his heart was still in New York.

Spree made a point of letting James Dolan, the worst executive in sports, know exactly what a mistake he made by trading him for the soft Keith Van Horn. Spree let his game do some of the talking, with 31 points, but he didn’t stop there he yelled in profanities in Dolan’s face. The fans heckled Dolan from behind.

While I don’t agree with Spree letting loose on the profanities (there are a lot of kids in the arena), he has a lot of heart and firethings the Knicks desperately need and wish they had.

The Knicks fired Layden today. Thank God.

So, I’ve been a big Kazaa fan for years (almost as good as the old Scour if you remember that). Then I get my Mac running OS X and install Limewire on it and I’m all like “wow, this is fast, stable and look at all the files in the network.”

Then I realize, oh snap! This is available for PC too. So, I install it on my PC and I’m like this is written in Java and it’s like stable “shut up!”

So, like, if you want a really cool P2P network sharing app that isn’t, like, all spywareand stuff go get LimeWire. You will not be disappointed.

Well Nick Denton, it looks like a blog can be worth a millionor in Daily Candy’s case $3.5-$4m!

Yes, I know Daily Candy is an email newsletter but let’s be honest here: there is no difference between Daily Candy and Gawker.

So, Nick, I think you owe me sushi or something (I’ll wait till you sell Gawker.com and hit you up for Nobu or better yet, Ginzo). Nice job Dany Levy (below)!

Media mogul Bob Pittman is satisfying his sweet tooth for daily

Pittman, the architect who helped build AOL and MTV into household names, has gobbled up DailyCandy, the trendy Web site featuring tips on everything from restaurants and nightclubs to sample sales and beauty finds.

The plan behind Pittman’s investment, say sources familiar with the situation, is to help transform DailyCandy from a Web site into a multimedia player that could extend its brand into magazines and books, stand-alone television shows and perhaps even shopping or restaurant guides.

The Pilot Group, an investment firm founded by former AOL chief Pittman, quietly bought privately held DailyCandy a few weeks ago for roughly $3.5 million to $4 million, sources familiar with the situation told The Post.

Just got back from the 9:50AM showing of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I decided to use a vacation day just to see it!

In a word: amazing. Perhaps the best film about friendship ever made. Three and half hours and it felt like 15 minutes. Everything about the film is perfect, or close to perfect: the characters, the acting, the special effects, the action, the pacing. If it doesn’t win Best Picture it will be the greatest crime since Dances With Wolves beat out Goodfellas.

However, you do need to see the first two films at least once, perhaps twice, in order to really be able to follow the nuances of the characters and their interpersonal relationships.

Elvis Mitchell has a great review in the Times, but I would NOT read it until after you see the movie as it gives away too much.

Anyway, you won’t be disappointed by this film. Just go see it.
