BLOGS

Yeah, Trump has one now too.

Comedy Central starts a blog, with links to videos.

Blogebrity: Kottke interview.

G.W. Bush: Podcaster.

FILM

Aeon Flux trailer, starring Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand.

Ebert gives his most-hated films.

Titles Designed By Saul Bass.

MUSIC VIDEOS

The new Green Day video is getting a surprising round of accolades.

New White Stripes video.

TV

Joss Whedon loves Veronica Mars too. See, I told you.

Engadget has pics of TiVo's upcoming download service. Looks like the first partner will be IFC, which is awesome because they happen to not be part of my Time-Warner cable package.

FOOD

NYT Mag is excited about cryovacking (sous vide).

I've been talking a lot again about trying to start a restaurant. I'm rather enamored by this idea to mix tv and dining, although it would play horribly in Minneapolis, which has the lowest tv-viewing rates per capita in the nation.

ONLINE

Rumor: Technorati about to be sold. Debate ensues on whether its to Google or Yahoo, while DataMining watches the rumor spread.

Rumor: Google and Apple to partner. Apple stocks rise.

Google halts Google Print. BoingBoing gathers some reactions.

Elizabeth Spiers and Danah Boyd were on To The Point for an episode on Google and security.

WORDS

NYTBR: Brett Easton Ellis reading from Lunar Park. Here's the review.

NYT looks at the change in books being stocked at airports (more smart non-fiction).

about that green day video. pure propaganda. remember george will's election 2004 epiphanies?? -- In 2000, Americans were reminded that electoral votes select presidents. In 2004, Democrats were reminded that Bruce Springsteen does not. -- or green day. i definitely don't want to formulate any opinion on war or any other hugely political issue based on what green day guys push in a video. i know war sucks, and already i know they don't support it. they should just stick to rockin. ok then.

Um. I didn't read all of the posts, but someone said it was Avril Lavigne. It's not. Rather, it is the chick from the low-budget film Thirteen. The girl who plays Tracy; Evan Rachel Wood. Thought you'd care to know this.
