In a blink, time washes away. I can recall vividly the moment 17 years ago when I forked from a career in real estate to the tech industry and specifically, the Internet, pre-web.
Flashing back, I can see record stores, book stores, video stores and consumer electronic stores.
Blockbuster and Barnes and Noble, in this place in time, are unassailable.
I spend many a night carousing the aisles of Music Plus. The Yellow Pages is perennial, and seemingly, always will be.
I remember the daily paper just "being," and the printed newspaper having what investor Warren Buffett calls a Toll Road, via its Classified Ad business.
Unicorn Shots gets Write-up in The New York Times
The above premises why it still holds special meaning to see my company, Unicorn Labs, get its Unicorn Shots product written up by The New York Times.
Bob Tedeschi, who writes the App Smart segment for the paper, said this about Unicorn Shots in both online and print (August 26 on page B6):
“If you want something more ridiculous than sublime, Unicorn Shots is a far better call.”
Description: Take a shot of someone you love and overlay the image with huge eyeballs, fake eyelashes and other effects from your recent Caricatures 101 course. Drag your finger around the screen and the person’s eyes follow.
He closes by encouraging prospective users to "try not to entertain existential thoughts about how you just spent the last two minutes of your life. Better still, hand the app to your children when they face their next existential crisis."
Amen to that, Bob. Thanks a bunch. :-)
