Slow News Days
Well, seeing as Lodwick has suspended his tumblelogging et al despite reportedly “desperately needing to socialize on the Web,” it’s going to be slow going for Jakob Lodouche for a while. I’ll be holding out on taking a similar exit from Internet as I have about enough faith in Lodwick staying away from Tumblr as I have for Robert Downey Jr. staying away from coke. So when...

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Jakob after all he has been through!
He lost his job, he went through a break-up. He was made fun of on the internet.
All you people care about is readers and making money off of him! HE’S A HUMAN!
What you don’t realize is that Jakob is giving you all this traffic and all you do is write a ...
Lodwick Announces LodWeb 3.0
Dear The Internet,
I closed my blog on June 26, 2008. I could no longer handle the relentless, vicious, public attacks from a digital lynch mob towards the personality traits I have no intention of changing, such as my curiosity and my self-confidence.
If the Web is to flourish, we cannot count on the good will of the public. The combination of anonymity and universal access means no...

My worst problems are caused by conflicts of schedule. There are too few hours each day to do everything I want to do.
My energy is finite. If I waste it on the things I want to do, I will be unable to channel it into the things I need to do. In my life, the realm of “want” is mostly one habit: browsing the web. The realm of “need” is inventing companies that change the world.

Help me understand: "China"
jakoblodwick:
Can you explain the political situation in China in three sentences?
Is your attention span for such deep and involved topics so short?
Barack Obama, marketing genius

The man is telling you exactly what you want to hear.
Tell that to Republicans.
Yes. Also, Lodwick must be thinking of Bush and evangelicals. It’s alright that he hasn’t quite got his shit straight - remember he’s got his day planned out and his plans don’t involve mental clarity or anything worthwhile.
Dear Jakob
nostrich:
I’ve noticed something strange afoot on Jakob Lodwick’s tumblelog of late. Instead of continuing the conversation, he’s been taking it, and starting his own. What I mean by that is, instead of reblogging something he wishes to respond to, he takes a screenshot and makes a new post with his commentary.
Here’s one example, and here’s another. Fuck it, here’s another (potentially unsafe...
