Plus he claims his $6.4 million dollar-a-year small business has 500 employees. Yeah, right.

The Birth Of Qwikster →
parislemon:
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings first apologizes for a lack of communication, and then gives his thoughts about the recent price changes and separation of DVDs and streaming (which is still the right move, as Hastings reiterates).
The wording is good. Amazingly, it doesn’t sound like the total bullshit you usually read in such posts. But here’s my favorite part:

Each of these “emotions” lasts about 3 seconds.
I wanna play with Daddy’s phone.
I wanna put on Mommy’s shoes.
GET MOMMY’S SHOES OFF MY FEET NOW!
I wanna open and close the thermostat.
I wanna turn on and off the light on the microwave.
Is there anyone here with a phone I haven’t played…

Too Big For a Stroller: Why Carting Your Big Kids... →

Love Louis C.K. and wholeheartedly agree with the low expectations put on fathers. For me, I...

Shawn, you’re not alone. Even if these apps (Instapaper, OmniFocus, etc) were free, I’d imagine only a small number would defect to these upcoming OS features — the apps are that good. Add on to that...
