I have a huge backlog of half-done posts. I just can’t seem to get here frequently enough. Maybe I should cut out my Daily Show/Colbert Report habit for a month — see if that helps… Anyway.
Over at work, I’ve been tinkering with a little side project with Yaron amidst the gazillion other things […]
The mass of trailers, vans and cables blocking the street this morning on my way into the office has become familiar: film shooting. As I walked by a trailer with “Meadow,” “A.J.,” and “Janice” on the doors, I realized I was walking through a Sopranos shoot. As I crossed the street, I caught […]
As Lizz pointed out, Jodie Foster is shooting a film entitled The Brave One in our neighborhood. On my way home I picked up this crappy clip of Foster in a scene on a stoop at W 104th near Manhattan Ave.
Friend Mike Grass, formerly of DCist, recently launched a blog as part of his gig at the Washington Post affiliate paper “express”: FreeRide. When he was last in NYC, we watched part of the Super Mario Bros. DVD he reviewed. I’m not sure how we made it through more than one episode. […]

Just before leaving Ann Arbor last fall, I attempted to make contact with someone at the local cable access station (CTN) regarding two issues surrounding their broadcast of government meetings.
The first was regarding whether they could improve their TV listings so it would be easier to record meetings on their DVRs. I would […]
The Michigan Independent launched last week. The intent is something like a liberal version of the Michigan Review, funded by Campus Progress (a project of American Progress).
I sat in on one of the early meetings to see where the project would go and offer assistance if needed. I still haven’t seen a copy […]
My friend satadru says:
Imagine netnewswire lite bundled on the blue disk, with preloaded feeds for things like UM News, and the Michigan Daily.
