Switching Blog Hosts — Update RSS
Loyal readers - I am in the process of switching my hosting over to WordPress and JustHost.com, which means that, while the URL will remain the same, the RSS feed will change. Just FYI in case you’re following me with a feed reader.
I’ll post the new RSS address when I have it. Thanks for following me!

Hulu just launched a viral advertising campaign for Judd Apataw’s upcoming film, ‘Funny People.’ Above is one of the clips from this faux-tv show ‘Yo Teach,’ and you can click here for more on the Hulu show page.
The idea behind this is great, but I still think this falls short (a) because it isn’t funny, and (b) because there’s not a real connection to the movie. Granted, users can find out about the connection by reading the comments under the videos, but who reads those anyway?
That said, I that companies are experimenting with creative ways to reach consumers, and leveraging new media like Hulu makes it even more exciting!

Woo hoo! Matt Groening’s ‘Futurama’ is uncancelled! It was never as good as ‘The Simpsons,’ but hey, if ‘American Dad’ can have a time slot on Fox’s Sunday night comedy block, ‘Futurama’ definitely can.
I mean, they even gave ‘Sit down, Shut up’ 4 episodes…

Michelle Obama is ahead of the trends in London. Now this is a fashion-forward First Lady. Yea or nay?
PS: HuffPo readers say “nay,” lol.

I am so looking forward to this, especially now that I’ll be returning to Seattle and my gorgeous 46” 1080p LCD TV. Ah…

My Top 5 Favorite iPhone 3.0 Features
Among Apple’s many announcements today was the release of the iPhone 3.0 software update (available June 17). It took me a while to cut through all of the news surrounding the mediocre hardware update to find the feature list for the software update, but lo and behold: here it is.
Below are the top 5 features I’ve most been looking forward to:
- Sync Notes. This is by far my number 1 most requested feature of the iPhone. The fact that it hasn’t been able to do this very basic function for so long is absurd. It’s actually forced me to completely change the way I manage my to do’s, and as a result, it’s hindered my productivity significantly. Definitely looking forward to this.
- Cut & Paste. Another super-basic feature that’s been talked about around the blogosphere since the iPhone’s introduction back in 2007.
- Spotlight Search. I’m mostly looking forward to this because you can use it to search your email, something I’ve been wishing the iPhone could do forever. Great work at finally adding this!
- Safari Improvements. Looking forward to auto-fill for usernames and passwords. This will be especially helpful with Gmail, which I use to star emails sometimes when I’m not near a computer. Again, basic improvement, but a really nice touch. :)

Internet Tethering. Oh wait, we don’t get that in the U.S. Thanks, AT&T.
So those are my Top 5 favorite iPhone 3.0 features. They’re all pretty standard on most of the other phones on the market. I would have loved to have seen the ability to run background applications, not to mention the inclusion of camera flash on the 3GS… Maybe next year.

Sean Hannity's Blatant Lie →
Wow… Words can’t describe how completely wrong everything about what Sean Hannity is saying on Fox News is. This man is an abject liar and deserves to be taken off the air forever. I still have trouble understanding why people watch such frustrating and shameless propaganda.
