This spot on spoof of classic blaxploitation films of the late 60’s and early 70’s was just purchased by Sony Pictures at Sundance.
My Chinese New Res Yearsolution Part 1
ER is ending this year and I have never seen an episode. Once it ends I am going to watch it from beginning to end and hope that Tommy Westphall doesn’t show up.

I see that Doug Henning is alive and back in business.

On Groucho Marx's Walk

Groucho Marx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I’ve not had this problem (we use vacuum corks) but would be helpful if we did.
Write a Resume that Lands an Interview →
“Some HR folks don’t read resumes any more. They have software that scans resumes for relevant keywords. Use nouns, like the names of the computer programs you know. Read tons of job descriptions and notice which words are used over and over.”

CES: Boxee ready for the big time - Boing Boing Gadgets
Boxee is a great app for viewing media, much better than Apple’s Front Row. Oddly, though, it thinks porno videos are Busby Berkeley movies. It makes me wonder what it would be like if Bubs had directed the orgy scenes in Caligula.
