More Hiring! Interns and Freelancers
peterfeld:
People needing jobs check this out from Elizabeth Spiers, founding editor of Gawker, and founder of Dealbreaker (plus Fashionista and Above The Law), the MediaBistro blogs (Fishbowl and TVNewser) and New York magazine’s late lamented The Kicker.

So now I have three—possibly four—separate site launches in the pipeline for the next 9 months and need some help with research,...
Rex's 30 Notable Blogs of 2008 →

I'm pretty sure Tumblr makes you stupid.
thegurglingcod:
I never entirely bought into the idea of blog years, but I’m not sure what else explains the nostalgia I feel for the pre-Tumblr era. At the risk of sounding as if I am pining for some discursive never-never land, like I was some Frankfurt School refugee who wound up beached on a Great Lake, the internets were smarter before Tumblr:
1) Reblogging — The ease of reblogging creates...

Tracy’s Roommate: Tracy Morgan, not Tracy Jordan, will star in and produce the comedy Freshman Roommates with T.J. Miller, one of the scared kids from Cloverfield. The movie focuses on a college kid who drunk-replies to an e-mail from a Nigerian prince. But this is no scam. Something that becomes clear when the spoiled son of a deposed African dictator (Morgan) shows up at his...

Shady and I were discussing this Chuck Klosterman piece on nemeses and archenemies on Friday. Don’t know the difference?
Here is the short answer: You kind of like your nemesis, despite the fact that you despise him. If your nemesis invited you out for cocktails, you would accept the offer. If he died, you would attend his funeral and—privately—you might shed a tear over his passing....

“We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven’t even met yet, probably. They all count.
But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is...

Oh, Katie is hosting a get-together or something at Barramundi tonight, 8pm. I’m unclear on the purpose or other details but if you’d like to imbibe in the company of Rex Sorgatz, Brian Van and other Sad People of the Internet, this just might be the thing for you. Drink Free or Die, motherfuckers.
Wish I had been there

Booh.
OMG, he’s clearly been offered the role of Mark Zuckerberg in Facebook: The Movie and can’t do both!!
I hope he takes it. If not him, then Dustin Diamond

Our innocence gets stripped away, one fake blogger at a time. (via cajunboy)
I started my hunt for Fake Nick Denton after people started accusing me of being him, and at one point I really thought it was Alex Balk. When the blog was no longer updated I became bored with it and stopped trying to figure out who it was. For my birthday present this past summer Cajunboy told me it...

Who is the music editor on NBC’s Chuck and do they...

danhacker:
‘Chuck’ continuously has an excellent soundtrack and it’s surprising since it’s not a show you would expect to have an impeccable soundtrack. Not since ‘The O.C.’ and ‘Friday Night Lights’ have I noticed the music more in a TV show and sought it out afterwards. It might be the same music editor from ‘The O.C.’ since Josh Schwartz executive produces ‘Chuck’ and also...

The most valuable thing I’ve learned in 2008 is that you can’t take anything for granted. Whether it be a job or the check you expect to deposit into your bank account every other Friday, someone of the opposite (or same) sex whom you wish to have in your...
THR: Bryan Fuller, former writer on Heroes and... →
davidcho:
This season has been a whole new level of shit for Heroes, but if Bryan Fuller is “working closely” with Tim Kring, it might not be too late to right the ship?
Shows need to realize that adding characters to ensemble shows, and thus dilluting the number of storylines, is never a good idea. It’s happened to a bunch of shows I like in the last few years: The OC season 2 (Zach, Taylor...
