Photojojo and Jelly on Pop17!

Sarah Austin did an interview with me for Pop17 (Thanks, Jamie!) when I was at speaking at PSFK SF a couple weeks ago, and it just went up! I talk about Photojojo and Jelly.

p.s. Here’s a post by Jeannie on the panel we did on Core77.

Jelly on NPR’s Marketplace!

Many of you have already heard this, but I helped organize a Jelly in Manhattan on my way home from Delhi to San Francisco, and Alex Goldmark covered it for Marketplace on NPR. (This is our second time on NPR. The first was September of last year)

Here’s the audio segment:

And here’s some video they shot, featuring a whole bunch of friends and Jelly regulars!

Jelly in San Francisco Tomorrow (Friday, May 16th)

Quick note: I’ll be at Jelly tomorrow in San Francisco (North Beach). It looks like it’ll be a good crew.

We’ll be out on the roof, enjoying temps in the 70s. We’ll also have a grill, so feel free to bring some eatables!

Sign up to get emails about future Jellys in San Francisco, or RSVP for tomorrow’s event

p.s. Jellies in Austin and NYC also tomorrow, and next week, Jakarta!

I’ll be at Jelly in NYC Tomorrow (Friday, May 2nd)

Just a quick note: I’m back from India and I’ll be at Jelly tomorrow in midtown Manhattan. I hope to see many of my NYC friends there as well as some new faces.

Come if you can! (More info/RSVP)

p.s. A little birdie tells me Alex Goldmark from NPR’s Marketplace might be there, too. ;-)

CommandShift3 Launches Today

A new project I’ve been working on with Darrell Silver, Erin Sparling, and Lee Semel launches today: CommandShift3.

It’s like Hot or Not, but for websites.

Started on a lark during a NYC Jelly session with Adam Varga, Darrell Silver, Dan Lurie, Erin Sparling, and Lee Semel, we’re really proud to open it up to the world today.

Much thanks to everyone who’s given us advice and support, including the celeb designers who recorded short videos we’ve hidden in the site for you to find. (Khoi Vinh, Matt Linderman, Taylor McKnight, Derek Powazek, Brad Smith, Ryan Sims, Dan Cederholm, Chris Messina, Ben Brown)

The biggest Jelly ever, Coverage on JetSet, Clark Howard, and 12 More Jellies

A quick update from Jellyland…

Quite possibly the largest Jelly yet takes place in Atlanta, GA this Friday.

Also on Friday, the ever-popular Austin Jelly, and the one that started it all, Jelly in NYC returns to House 2.0 this week.

Coming up next: Chicago Jelly (organized by my pal Sean Johnson!), Boston Jelly, Jelly in the O.C., and Manilla Jelly.

Recently: Houston Jelly and Singapore Jelly.

Gathering steam: Milwaukee Jelly, Tuscon Jelly, and San Francisco Jelly. (I know, I know, I’ve been busy!)

… and some recent press: we were on the Clark Howard radio show, and the hugely popular video blog, The JetSet Show.

Here’s the JetSet clip:

Jelly Atlanta in Daily Candy

Jelly Atlanta organizer Kristyn Shayon hooked up some great press for Jelly in the hugely popular Daily Candy newsletter a couple days ago! Nice work, Kristyn! :)

Jelly also got some ink in this week’s Hatch That where Ross Hill asked me some questions about Jelly and Photojojo.

6 Jellies in the next 6 days!

NYC-born Jelly’s been spreading right proper lately, with six events coming up in the next 6 days!

That includes Houston, TX (#1), Austin, TX (#2), Stockholm, Sweden (#2), New York City (#29), Boston (#2), and Cincinnati (#2). Whew!

Here’s the Jelly update email I just sent out, via Campaign Monitor, who’s sponsoring Jelly with free email lists for each city’s event. Thanks guys! (Thanks also to pbwiki, which sponsors with a premium wiki account.)

p.s. If anyone knows how we can get a copy of the Today show interview on Jelly on November 4th, please email me! (I haven’t seen it yet.)

A 95 Second Tour of Current.TV’s Office

I had lunch with Ben Stein, a producer at Current TV today. Before we left, I stuck a camera in his face without warning and asked him to show me around. I think he did pretty great!

We met to talk about Jelly.
