Arrested Development - Gob, George Bluth, and Franklin almost get caught
Wow, I’d forgotten how good this show was. Franklin’s first appearance is the episode right after the introduction of Tony Wonder, a pretty great one-two punch.
Also, how great is this clip embedding thing on Hulu? The functionality is pretty sick/intuitive too.

OH HI.
So, 14-year-old me needs a huge favor.
If you happen to be or are friendly with someone who is a publicist or somebody at MTV. I would love for you to drop me an e-mail— thedavidcho@gmail.com!

This is kind of surprising right? I’m not sure how I would vote if given the opportunity, although I guess if there was a way to just have a 2-minute ad play at the beginning that I could ignore while doing other things on the internet to have a chance to watch a whole tv show sans commercials, that’s an enticing option.
The more interesting thing from this article is the idea of...
NYC Ballet - A time-lapse of their final performance of the 2008 Spring season
I know time-laspses can be pretty gimmicky in their interestingness, but if it’s of something different they are still pretty fun to watch. In this case, it’s kind of cool to see the setup and break down of the extensive sets between the performances.
Furthermore, the NYCB is doing some interesting stuff...

Click the link to read about three Pastelle pieces he’s planning on selling in January: the jacket from the AMAs, the jacket from David Letterman, and the hoody I think is ugly.
Apparently he’s also designing a sneaker for Louis Vuitton that is coming out “REEEEETARDED”.

– I don’t feel sorry for Gael Greene considering her severance is probably pretty serious, she’s been able to expense all of her ridiculous meals for the last however long, and she’ll land on her feet fairly quickly, but I really do enjoy this line from her parting shots at NYMag on...
I am officially the 123rd best Brickbreaker player...
Last night, my phone ran out of memory from not having been turned off over the course of about three months, and subsequently I was left to choose between the following two options: 1) keep my Brickbreaker game going, or 2) have a phone that can receive text messages and emails.
I chose the latter, and subsequently had to run out all of my leftover lives so that I could submit my high score to...
Oh ok, Jay-Z has a twitter now too? →
Says Elliot Wilson, former XXL EIC and current Jay-Z homey:
[Jay-Z] couldn’t stop laughing about [Shaq’s twitter and the NYTimes article about it]. He then made me [Wilson] explain to him what Twitter was about and how it worked. Apparently, ?uestlove from the Roots had been tryin’ to school him on it too. Anyone who has the privilege of communicating directly with Jay...
Did everyone else know that Shaq had a twitter? →

Taco Bell needs to be stopped.

I hope stopping Taco Bell doesn’t mean any harm to the Mexican Pizza (srsly, one of my favorite...

EDIT: The best part of the WSJ article:
His turn last year on the reality television show “Dancing with the Stars” gave him a high public profile, but he and his professional partner were eliminated after a poor showing in the samba.
Oh ok, that seems necessary

Trailer for ‘Hip-Hop Monologues’, a preview of Jim Jones’ new album in MUSICAL form
Saw this tonight, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t an ambitious move executed pretty well. There’s moments where it could stand to be more polished, but it definitely doesn’t drag, especially considering you’re essentially listening to an entire Jim Jones...

Bruni: 2 stars for Market Table →
Wowa, haven’t been there for a second (essentially since they separated the market from the table), but this review makes it sound great.
Not sure if the arctic char is the same that I had, but if it is (sitting on risotto), make sure you get it because it’s sick.
PaidContent: Current TV lays off 60 employees,... →
To be fair, they’re also creating 30 new jobs, many of which will be offered to some of the people being laid off, so it’s probably more of a restrategizing of the company, rather than a scaling back. The main reason I’m mentioning this is so that I have an excuse to post this article from last week on Read, Write, Web that seemed, to me at least, really shortsighted.
