Lost Easter Eggs is by far my favorite Lost blog. I can’t wait to go tomorrow and parse through screen shots and close ups.
The Flack: Target PRactice →
The Flack is probably my favorite PR blog. A lot of people writing about the intersection of social media and PR/Marketing/Advertising look at the Internet and CGM as this utopia that we all must strive for. Peter Himler does a good job of understanding the delicate balance between new media and what Michael Barbaro calls “the ever-hip, contemporary media channel” and the demands of...

Cheesy, but I like it.

Congrats Soup! Sorry I didn’t know about this until seeing Matt’s post today. This will now become daily reading for me.

Watchvia livejamie: Media week just gets worse every year. Did you see the Univision reporter in a wedding dress yesterday? Apparenty she stole the show. I just wish more of my favorite programs did Super Bowl previews. Carl rocks this one. Now bring on the cast of It’s Always Sunny, have Britt and Jemaine sing a song about intentional grounding, let Jack Bauer cut out Randy Moss’...

– Another great quote from this Reuters article. You know what’s really sticky? when you use technology to talk about relationships. Now that’s crazy. No one in their right mind would do that…

WatchAmir’s Birthday — jakeandamir Yup, definitely a new favorite. And the best part? I’m pretty sure the blonde at the end is Amir’s girlfriend, a Ricky Van Veen favorite. Ok, I admit, I know way too much about CV. I need to stop.

I passed - but let’s just say my AP scores were a bit better… Real life is making a fool of me.
Verdict: Moment of Truth - Ehhhh →
I’ve been looking forward to this show ever since I heard the producer Howard Schulz say that he had the same feeling for this show that he had for Joe Millionaire. I got especially excited after reading this little tidbit: A Colombian version of the series was recently cancelled in the wake of a female contestant’s admission that she had once hired a hit man to kill her husband....
“If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.”

WatchI love that O’Connell did this, especially since it means he’ll probably get blackballed in Hollywood. Say what you want about Cruise, but those scientologists seem to be catching up to other power wielding religious groups in LA.

Dear Fellow Tumblrs
Please refrain from using Tumblr for the next two hours unless you’re writing about, linking to, or reblogging Heath Ledger news. Wikipedia my ass.
Holy shit. Heath Ledger is dead. →
I will be on MSNBC tonight at 9:30 pm to discuss it. The AP is reporting that his housekeeper found him dead at 3:30 pm today, with pills “strewn around him.” Jesus. This is insane. And so sad. God. — juliaallison Of course Julia was first on this one. I can’t believe it. This is terrible, but the first thing I thought was “The Dark Night is going to get...
I am going to take improv classes at UCB. Does... →
Although, geez, pretty much all of the classes are sold out!! Is there another place I should take them? Or is UCB pretty much the only (good) show in town? (It’s the one most people recommend, at least) — juliaallison I am a super UCB teacher. — katespencer I second Kate’s recommendation of herself. But they’re all pretty great. That’s why they teach at UCB. I...
The best part about attending the Knicks-Celts...
I mean, besides watching Kendrick Perkins go for a career high 24? It was seeing Aaron Ross, RW McQuarters, Steve Smith, and Plax in the first row. Loved hearing “lets go Giants!” From the crowd of 18,000 Knick haters. A few things specifically struck me: 1. Paul Pierce came and shook all their hands. A Boston player comes over and congratulates the NY squad and not a single Knick...
Yes!!!
I need to get to Glendale, AZ in two weeks.
A good sign
Just won my flag football game 58-0. This bodes well for the Giants.
I drink your milkshake! →
I’m finished!
Dear David Karp - Gumblr
Dear Dave: Channels is a cool concept, but what about adding some kind of read-based channel system? I mean, instead of choosing who I send stuff too, can you help me organize my dashboard into groups of different people? Like: friends, ex-lovers, techy-family members, co-workers, former members of Gawker editorial? If I could cobble together a mini-feed within the Tumblr dash for Doree, Alex,...

This makes me wonder if all along, Jakob was the one making Julia more famous, and not the other way around like the insular little world I live in assumed. — doree Clearly a battle of old media vs. new media. I think even though she’s starting to do a good job of crossing over, 99% of the people who know her name no nothing about her online presence. Likewise for Jakob, but in a...
