“Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know? But it...”
– Heidi Montag explaining the way the public perceives her and making a very apt comparison to the Son of God, then going on to describe her religious affiliation as that of a “non-denominational Baptist” Christian (“I’ve always felt a crazy connection to God”). She also...
Watch all of Hov's Glastonbury set at NahRight. →
The setlist is below, the only thing I don’t like about this is that he closes with the Linkin Park version of ‘Encore’. Does anyone really think that the mash-up version of it is better than the original? I mean really?

This completely changes the dynamic of available waffles in the East Village, namely I don’t have to go to Le Petite Abeille to get Belgian waffles.
The menu at Matsugen is online now. →
I have to go eat here at some point in the next 5 days.

I’m really interested in seeing how this pans out.
This business model is awesome: find a cheap young editor who will scour the internet to find content to fill out any pointed vertical (local, green, whatever) and write the majority of the “posts” (an extra pageview that uses the first three paragraphs or so if the source article copied and pasted with really well SEO’d...
“Led by the unstoppable Alex Balk, Radar’s Web site has been doing some...”
– MediaBistro hits the nail on the head in their description of the performance of RADAR the last few weeks/month, especially considering the constraints that Balk’s been under with little-to-no staff as we refill the spots left by Tyler leaving and other people focusing on other things/trying...

Delaware used to be the easy girl on the street, and she’s still great (only about $200 to get a registered agent, 24-hour filing, and incorporation), but Vermont’s new laws don’t even require any sort of registered agent/physical business, all you need are some email addresses and you can get that Tax ID number in a jiffy.
Call me a skeptic, but this seems slightly problematic.

adamfrucci:
Hell yes! Someone make me a guest judge, please.
Boo Yah! Unlike Frucci here I have no intentions of being a guest judge, but damn, I would like to be at one of the events they have to cook for. Maybe they’ll do a ‘online media lunch’ or something and I can go. I can see the scene now. Padma would line them all up and say something like, “Tonight you’ll be cooking for...
“I seem to be stalking Alex Balk today. The best writing on the web these days is...”

– Kobe comparing the plight of Harry Potter to that of the Lakers.

I love magic wallets almost as much as I love this demo.
Learn how to make a magic wallet from some sort of ethnic person. Even after watching this, I still don’t get how these things work.

Luckily they did some editing, although I wish they had tidyied up some of the un-proofread sentences where I have a lot of really shitty word choice.

This is a great place to go eat, there’s really great food and really friendly people— especially this arctic char and the lamb shank.
“Now Hitch, there’s a funny movie… if there’s anyone funnier...”
– Jeff Van Gundy is great and slightly out of control.
“Lisa’s wagyu steak wasn’t up to snuff. But it may have been her attitude that...”
– Bruni waxes poetic about the ‘Top Chef’ finale in which Lisa probably was a little too close to winning and Richard got a little too cocky.
Related: the CIA is offering classes taught by ‘Top Chef’ alum, including Dale and Stephanie.

Grumpy Old Man.
I normally leave the ranting about marginal office discomfort to Balk (honestly, the drilling was never THAT bad), but our AC hasn’t been working at full capacity this morning, I have a fan blowing in my face right now, and it’s all very annoying. This current east coast heatwave is officially worse than this one.
Hey stranger,
If you were stalking me via IM you probably won’t be able to do that anymore because I had to make it so that only people on my own buddylist could see/talk to me online. If you’d like to be added to the aforementioned list, email me and let me know—
