Everyone's reading the Spike Jonze profile from the coming weekend's Times Magazine, so you probably should, too. My favorite part of this article so far is the caption that helpfully clarifies, “Jonze is the one without a wolf suit.”

Yiying Lu, designer of Twitter's Fail Whale (or the adorable image that pops up when Twitter is overloaded), was featured in New York Times Magazine.

It's that time of year! Your favorite New York Times magazine issue features a whole slew of essays about the interesting ideas that people have come up with during 2008. The Spray-On Condom really takes me back to one of the first trends I ever wrote for BuzzFeed. Some cool and inventive ideas include eating kangaroo to help the environment and drinking hot beverages to become a more empathetic person.
New York Times Magazine publishes a piece about the joy of “cubing videos”. Here is every video mentioned in the article (and more!) for your geeky enjoyment.
Tech Buzz Nicole Wong is like Google's Secretary-of-State. She negotiates on Google's behalf with repressive governments that want to limit free speech. This is a real problem: Turkey banned YouTube, Saudi Arabia banned Orkut, and blogger is banned in Pakistan. Nicole Wong cuts the deals that gets these services running again. For example Ms. Wong managed to get YouTube unblocked in Thailand by agreeing to remove videos that make fun of the Thai King. You can read all about Nicole Wong, the global internet, and censorship in a great piece New York Times magazine piece coming out this weekend. Update: Here is the NYT Google's Gatekeeper's piece.
Tech Buzz Griffith — the subject of a profile in this weekend's NY Times magazine — is the disruptive technologist behind WikiScanner who says that one of his missions in life is “to create minor public-relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike.” “The hacker high life — girls, notoriety, White Russians — can be hard to resist,” writes Virginia Heffernan. “Girls hang on Virgil Griffith. This is no exaggeration. At parties, they cling to the arms of the 25-year-old hacker whose reason for being, he says, is to 'make the Internet a better and more interesting place.' ” She's witnessed the fandom and unusual drink choice first hand, and describes how at a recent tech conference, “Griffith, enjoying a White Russian that I first mistook for chocolate milk, reveled in the attention of his female fans. He smiled broadly. He seemed like a young Henry Kissinger, but sweet, or Arthur Fonzarelli, but not a dropout.” What do girls like more, his hacking skillz or cutey-pie dimples?
