Fuck those QOTD's, I'll start my OWN show.
What catchphrase should have caught on but didn't?
"They'll build __ around it!" The original word is "cities," spoken by Dean Kamen Steve Jobs about Dean Kamen's Segway. It was gonna change everything, dude.
I use "They'll build __ around it!" every chance I get on Valleywag.

Nick Denton: obscure
» I hope you explain when you write
Nick Douglas: someday i'll write a scene in which t.s. eliot writes for you
» "who the hell is the fisher king? explain"
» "you're going on too long here. three seasons tops"
Nick Denton: who's t.s. eliot?
A clever reader comments on my arguably sexist Rocketboom coverage:

From WebProNews:
That may be a surprise to Nick Douglas, the blogger behind Valleywag, Denton's Silicon Valley gossip site. A BusinessWeek report cited Douglas' contract as paying him $550 a month plus expenses; we hope he's getting a taste of that ad revenue as well.
That's not what BusinessWeek said. They were awkwardly trying to say something else. I don't get paid a lot, but $550 a month would be silly.
