I’ll be failing on MTV’s It’s on with Alexa Chung
0I’m headed to NY to appear as a guest on It’s on with Alexa Chung (Tuesday at noon). I’m told that there will be stunts where I may fail. Dear Lord, what have I brought on myself?
I’ll be in LA. Let’s do launch.
1I’m on my way to LA to be the first guest on my friend Christian Lander’s show PC Hookup. Check it out live on Wednesday at 9:30 pacific at justin.tv/pchookup
Watch the promo video where Christian dresses up for the first time in his life:

And next Tuesday at noon eastern, I’ll be on MTV’s It’s On with Alexis Chung.
I’d like to change the world. Who’s with me?
4Since we bought I Can Has Cheezburger? back in September of 2007, we’ve hired roughly one person per month. And each time we go through the process of recruiting, screening, and hiring, it’s a difficult and laborious process. But I know that hiring is probably the most important part of my job.
The job of screening for the right talent has been recently made harder by 2 factors:
- The number of applicants have skyrocketed due to a) the economy and b) our own growth.
- The more we become specialized, the harder it gets to find someone with experience.
But frankly, it should be hard.
If you’re looking for top-notch talent — that elusive one-in-a-million candidate — you’ve just got to keep screening, keep recruiting and not lower your standards. Even when you’re growing and hiring, there’s nothing sexy about being an entrepreneur.
Seattle Digg Meetup and the flying kittens
1Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose were kind enough to surprise the Digg Meetup audience with kittens and buttons at the Seattle Digg Meetup. I went on the stage and joined in the fun.
