Podcast roundup: Peter Hirshberg on TV and the web
Just saw one of the best TED talk videos I’ve ever seen: Peter Hirshberg on TV and the web | Video on TED.com. Basically tells a familiar story of the convergence of web and media that was covered in so many classes I TAed at UCSC and gives a glimpse of what...Pre-Game Coin Toss Makes Jacksonville Jaguars Realize Randomness Of Life | The Onion – Americas Finest News Source
Pre-Game Coin Toss Makes Jacksonville Jaguars Realize Randomness Of Life ha ha ha haOMG Best Blog Ever?
Step aside Fail Dogs. Domo nom nom is a blog where updates are in the form of edibles for a bizarre monster. This may be not worth explaining other than to say check it out but it definitely turns the concept of a blog on its...Tumbled Picnic Picture in Delores Park

Another amusing article From Cracked.com. Gotta love any top # list where each topic is sub-headed with: “So Where Does the Poop/Pee Come in?”The New York Coffee Bag
Coffee is a singular experience in New York. Though I have yet to experience the perfect cup of Joe here at the very least it is plentiful and there is a fair amount of independent shops — far fewer per-capita than should be but fair none-the-less. There is,...About Nate
