…seems to be The Onion’s redesign and opening of their news archives/removal of the walled garden. The goal was to make the site look as much like a real news site as possible, and I’d say Mission Accomplished, complete with RSS feeds and daily polls.
Hats off to Khoi Vinh and the Behavior Design team responsible [...]
Big cameo news for the best "sitcom" on TV — from the Hollywood Reporter, via MSNBC:
LOS ANGELES - Oscar winner Charlize Theron is set to add some star
power to Fox’s "Arrested Development" when its third season debuts next
month.
Theron has signed on to guest-star in five episodes of the critically
acclaimed black comedy, playing a British woman [...]
BusinessWeek is reporting that SBC will take AT&T’s name when they complete their acquisition of their former parent company late this year. Looks like the 120-year-old phone/communications brand will live on. No word yet on the fate of Tommy Lee Jones stirring voiceover work for SBC (his best work since The Fugitive).

I hope everyone in Louisiana finds somewhere safe to be tonight.
I’ve been following along at NOLA.com’s Hurricane Center and watching Flickr’s Katrina hurricane cluster for updates. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be there right now.

Gawker - Week in and week out, still the best show out there.
Buzzmachine - Jarvis rules. ‘Nuff said.
Tony Pierce - In case I hadn’t made it clear, Tony’s one of the Taco Stand’s biggest influences and remains [...]
Blogads asked (finally–no offense, but that logo looks like something carved on a cave wall). So I figured I’d kick in a couple options…
As you’ve probably noticed, I am partial to green; but I figured I’d crank out one in the current Blogads coloring.

TiVo had a little surprise for me this morning–an Arrested Development episode that aired at 12:30am here in L.A. on Fox 11. From Season 2. And there’s another one every night this week at 12:30am.
Not that I’m complaining about this sudden re-run windfall of the best American sitcom since Seinfeld, but what’s the story? I [...]
I am currently on the hunt for a new place to call home. More on that later…for now, one thing is certain–I don’t want to live at the CIM Group’s Gas Company Lofts in Downtown L.A.
