January 2011
The most abbreviated of end-of-year musings,...
2010 was a challenge, 2010 was a disappointment, 2010 was an improvement. I tried new things, built upon the old, found myself writing my stories and writing the news and writing for television and the important thing was the writing.
Well, not totally true: There was the writing, and then there were the amazing people in my life (who listened to me whine about the writing). And the year was...

For those who are not offline — here are my Top 10 Serialized Favorites from 2010. http://t.co/sTszyl0 Another great year in web video.
My Top 10 2010 standalone favorites include @okgo, @projectrant, @autotunethenews, @thebannenway. http://bit.ly/eGWwTn Next: The serialized!
Scanning through the past 12 months of @NewTeeVee coverage to make sure I haven’t overlooked anything for my 2010 top 10s. Man, what a year.
My nine-year-old cousin prefers Lady Gaga to...
This pleases me.
2010 in Review: Elegy for the Video Store →
I tried to keep this post focused and unflowery, but video stores, man. Doesn’t matter what format they’re actually renting — they’ll always be video stores to me. I worked Friday and Saturday nights at one in high school (it was a nice way of ducking around having a social life) and there was a buzz there, during our busiest times, an energy that came with being...

WatchOdds N Ends - Dr. Lazer Rage (by DaveAOK)
If you ever have a chance to watch the “Dr. Lazer Rage” episode of The Sarah Silverman Program, DO IT. I didn’t love every episode of that show, but this one was amazing.
Just caught myself using the term “webisode” in an post. THE DISEASE IS INSIDE ME.

In which we learn that otters are not financially savvy, and that people who fuck with Kermit are ASSHOLES.
No lie.

I don't think Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII will...
…but I’m certainly looking forward to this radio play and this miniseries. (Especially because in the miniseries WALLIS IS PLAYED BY GILLIAN ANDERSON.)
See, I’d known a bit about Edward VIII’s abdication, but I knew nothing about the fact that he and his new wife were German sympathizers who, it’s alleged, actually compromised the English war effort during WWII...
So Bill Pullman joining the cast of “Torchwood” as a regular kind of hurts my brain. http://bit.ly/dL0DXC
What’s the opposite of Inbox Zero, Inbox Apocalypse? Because that’s where I’m at today.

He’s watching Julie & Julia every day for a year. For real.
I love this blog almost as much as I hate every Julie scene in Julie and Julia. Which is A WHOLE FUCKING LOT.

This guy offers some smart snark on why the original “Tron” is currently unavailable for anyone who might want to watch it prior to “Tron Legacy.” (Which of course, you don’t need to do, thanks to Liz Tells Frank.)

liztellsfrank:
Look, give me crap about saying the original Tron sucks if you want, but anyone else think that it’s kind of telling that a week before Disney releases its big budget sequel, the movie is offline, out of print and unbroadcasted? Because, if you ask me, it’s kind of telling.
So I owe a hearty thanks to Tim, who was the one to Twitter about Tron’s initial lack of...
Okay, so Joe Jonas is still my favorite Jonas brother. #topchef #fadingrelevancy
So I’ve written one short and will be directing another (a first!) for a night of one-act plays, running Jan-Mar. Directing’s easy, right?
What can you do to make sure your web series makes it onto my best of 2010 list, pr reps? 1) Don’t be gross and directly solicit placement.
You gotta watch the first two minutes of this week’s @cordcutters — @ryanlawler and @jank0’s intro is hilarious. http://bit.ly/h0m6bX

Spent the time I would have spent catching up on #Tumblr this morning setting up a Wordpress blog for @liztellsfrank. Feel good about that.
“We’ll have more info to share as soon as we can post to our blog again.” Seriously? Oh, @Tumblr.
