I titillate with my posts

More hype for Aaron Sorkin's new show, like "Sport's Night" but about a sketch-comedy show. Bill Simmons from ESPN's Page 2 has read the script for the pilot and is foaming at the mouth.

If you are a fan of Chilean sea bass, their population is dramatically dwindling.

The new yorker searches for a planted word in the New Oxford American Dictionary that is made up.

That 2GB Ipod nano that you bought for $200 is only worth $103 in parts and labor. For you communications majors out there, that is a $97 profit.

A new documentary about illegal immigrants from Mexico and their journey across our southern border is in production. The filmmakers also gave some immigrants cameras to document their experiences. Some pictures are available on the site now.

A board game called C-jump that teaches you the C programming language. Please don't buy this especially for your children. They don't want to be eunuchs.

Compulsive liars have ~25% more white matter in their prefrontal cortices than non-liars.

Is "Good Night and Good Luck", the new George Clooney biopic about Edward R. Murrow, worth seeing? The subject is unquestionably interesting. Murrow's news broadcasts were a main source of information for countless Americans during WWII. In the 50's, he produced segments in which he questioned the cold war hysteria sweeping the nation and helped end McCarthyism. George Clooney means Steven Soderburgh is close by. And he is. He's executive producer. "Traffic" was compelling, "Welcome to Collinwood" was surprisingly good, but Soderburgh and Clooney together can be hit or miss. And fuckin Mark Cuban, the outspoken, slightly douchy owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is an executive producer. This movie has 8 executive producers. And the screenplay was co-written by Clooney. Dr. Doug Ross, a writer? And it's PG. I can't decide.

What I have approved on my over-priced, broke-ass ipod: The Editors' album (basically Interpol redux), the Rosebuds album, the Minus Story album, the new Animal Collective, and Cut Copy.

Comments:
Bill Simmons is a Will Ferrell sycophant, like every other 15-35 year old guy. I think William has had his fair share of good skits on SNL and that SNL 4 years ago was worth watching, but I don't think his departure has much to do with SNL sucking right now.

acoach2, you bring up a good point, and thanks for the praises. shalom to you.
