The Webby Awards


Next time you're bored, or have say, a billion hours to spend, check out the Webby's. I won't recommend anything because it's just way to damned diverse but it's all damned good stuff... Didn't see Dsend there... oh well... maybe next year!

The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) — a 1,000+ member judging body that includes Executive Members comprised of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities, and Associate Members who are former Webby Award Winners and Nominees and other Internet professionals from David Bowie to Twitter Co-founder Biz Stone. The 16th Annual Webby Awards received nearly 10,000 entries from over 60 countries and all 50 states and generated over 2.2 billion media impressions worldwide.

The Office


As you may know, after 8 years and 9 seasons, the U.S. version of The Office has reached it's conclusion. A lot has been written and said about this seminal series, so much, by others more informed than I, so I will say only this to those that have somehow avoided indulging this hilarious, endearing journey; skip the first episode (the second is one of the whole series' best!) and remember that the drama is a much slower burn than the equally brilliant Britsh source material. I was very impressed by the final season which found a way to bring back old friends and round out all the losse ends without feeling forced. We just watched the whole thing from start to finish and I recommend you do too...
