– Kids and digital storytelling: Who will teach them? (via schlomo) This is a great piece. It describes the natural inclination to tell stories and affinity for technology that we’re trying to foster in some of California’s most under-served student populations at the Media Center for...

Party Down: Some Amateur Accounting
“Party Down” got canceled yesterday and that’s a huge bummer for me and at least 17 other people. In July of 2008, I was working on a piece for Tilzy.tv (now Tubefilter) about the economics of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” and I reached out to Rob Thomas, creator and executive producer of the also canceled-too-soon “Veronica Mars” (and...

thedeadline: mattchew03: I emailed Matt yesterday and basically forced him to do some sort of list featuring Larry King’s tweets, and this is what he came up with. I couldn’t be happier. Best thing I’ve read today. Magnificent.

A Kiddley Divey, Too
I saw this yesterday in the window of Incanto, an Italian restaurant on Church St. I walk by every day. My dad used to sing this song when I was a kid. I haven’t thought about it in years, but seeing the lyrics on display prompted me to look it up. From the Wikipedia article: “Mairzy Doats is a novelty song composed in 1943 by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston…...

Sue Sylvester and Tweetie Birds
From Nancy Franklin’s New Yorker piece on “Glee”: The success of “Glee” depends on the energy and the obvious talent of its young (but way beyond high-school age) performers, and on Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, the acid-tongued, sneaky, and completely loony cheerleading coach, whose every line of dialogue is quotable (and is duly quoted, minutes after being...

Seeking Shelter and an Angel Round
I currently live with two roommates in a great house in Noe Valley. One of my roommates is moving out, so the remaining roommate and I have been spending time on Craigslist’s Housing Wanted board the past few days. One post today jumped out at me: $1000 2 startup founders: pay double the rent I clicked. And what I found was classic pursuit of the Silicon Valley Dream. My name’s...

Last night’s LOST was 44 minutes of really good television (41 minutes if we exclude Jack’s scene with the dynamite, which should probably be excluded) and a wonderful example of how well Michael Emerson plays the most nuanced and engaging character on TV.
