There's a Blog that Discusses Putting Weird Things...
It’s called PuttingWeirdThingsInCoffee.com and it’s the second best thing I’ve seen on the internet today (this is the first). I want to try peanut butter (obvi) and egg.

Today's Unnecessary YouTube Comment
About Wal-Mart’s new commercial with the clown, jimmysh0es had this to say:
Lunch: Neither a Fashion nor a Temporary
Whenever I get lunch from Mehfil Indian at 2nd and Folsom (which is often), I choose whichever daily lunch special has the most amusing description. Today it was the #2, Ajwaini Bhaji:
Use of herbs in Indian cooking is neither a fashion nor a temporary but a normal way or ordinary life and Ajwain (oregano) is the favorite one. In the offered dish, original recipe is from your host’s...
Allez cuisine?
Watching Iron Chef hasn’t been the same since I learned the truth about “The Chairman.”

The most popular kids’ TV show is about kids who make a webshow. Rarely is a Fred video watched by fewer than 3 million kids. Who is making a serious effort to produce a web series for kids?

I’m not sure I agree with (or even understand) everything written in this piece, but it’s a fun read.
Whatever we ate was fine. It was okay. Some chick in the elevator is questioning us. Now opining. Something about fish tacos, and how they are “amazing,” which would just be forgettable mouth noise had she not said AMAZING in caps, which instead makes her criminally vapid and somehow...

Some reasonably exciting SXSW news!
lizlet:
Seems like everyone this year had a horse in the SXSW interactive panel race, and I was no exception, submitting an idea close to my own heart — “Web Video: Can We Now Say Something Sucks?” (SPOILER ALERT! My answer is “yes.”)
Wasn’t really expecting to make it in, because of aforementioned flood of panel ideas, and thus I was pleasantly surprised to be informed that I’ll be presenting...

Tubefilter: 'The Bitter End' Delivers Sweet Laughs
My first Tubefilter piece in a while…
There’s nothing particularly interesting about the building blocks of The Bitter End. It’s an online sitcom that follows the lives of a few urban twentysomethings as they deal with the identity crises, professional stagnation, awkward cohabitation, and sexual frustration endemic to life as an urban twentysomething.
