my job versus my favorite show
TV
Did you skip the Olympics to see the last two hours of Arrested Development? Thank you, TiVo. (The show finished fifth in ratings for the night -- after the Olympics, Dancing with the Stars, WWE's Friday Night Smackdown, and a Ghost Whisperer re-run. Go America!)
It was pretty good, but it's also a mystery why the Pamela Anderson roast is being released on DVD.
Biz Week: Can MTV Stay Cool?
DATING/SEX
TiVo is holding a Wishlist Mixer in San Fran. Dammit, I'm moving to the wrong city.
The editor of Modern Love give his stake on the state of love in contemporary America. I seem to disagree with half of it.
Mike Figgis made a short film, Tied up at the Office [not safe for the office], for lingerie peddlers Agent Provocateur. I get it as much as I got Demon Lover.
Found on Amazon: Pierced Attachable Nipples. C'mon, for real?
DESIGN
T-SHIRTS
That controversial Mohammed cartoon has been turned into a t-shirt.
Cheney gun t-shirts already.
BOOKS
There was actually a book (Nic Kelman's 2003 novel, Girls) that had blurbs on it written by both James Frey and JT Leroy.
FILM
Kottke on Ebert on "hyperlink movies."
ONLINE
The Huffington Post's Contagious Film Festival is out. Meh. I wonder if the Gawker one will be better.
Which internet company is the least willing to provide financial information about itself? Not Google -- it's Amazon.
NYT has does a quick story with examples of searches on the new Google.cn.
Google, cover of Time. Blah, blah.
ART
On made-to-order artwork for offices.
MUSIC VIDEOS
I don't care what you say, these last few Madonna vids have been good. Her new video for "Sorry" has more street dancing, this tine looking like crumping-meets-Barbarella-meets-Mad-Max.
