Final Draft -- Products > Mobile > Reader for iPad... →
Final Draft is finally coming out with an app for the iPad. I’ve been saying for the past year that the main reason why I haven’t purchased an iPad is because you couldn’t use Final Draft on it.
So, maybe it’s time to finally get one.
Update: OK, so on closer inspection, it’s more of a Final Draft reader than you can annotate with notes. Which is helpful, but not...

Apparently, right wingers dislike commas. And periods.
Springfield Police Seize Over a Ton of Marijuana... →
This is the town I grew up in. It’s most famous tourist attraction is a house with a cannonball from the Revolutionary War still stuck in its walls. Seriously.
Frankly, I think a little bit of marijuana might’ve livened the place up.

I promise you that “How to Do Nothing without Really Trying” will never become serious. We’re too lazy for that.

Love these.

This has nothing to do with anything beyond being totally fucking awesome, and you should read it. I was mesmerized. Seriously. Read the whole thing.

Louis CK on how pilots are made — usually. →
Awesome. A must-read for anyone working in TV, or who aspires to. And it’s entertaining, which you probably already guessed based on who the author is.

Very, very cool.

This is real. Though my first impression was that somebody made this up out of thin air, so they could sell the film rights as a George Clooney vehicle.
Are You Ready For Phil Collins Day?: Gothamist →
On the one hand, I really love No Jacket Required. And Phil Collins is certainly an ’80s icon worth loving.
On the other, get a fucking life.

Sad face.
Go see Ulysses’ Gaze, if you’ve never had that privilege.
Death Cab for Cutie tickets, concerts and tour... →
Hey, wow, tickets for shitty seats at the Death Cab show at the Beacon are only $58.75.
I’m tempted, but I can envision the scene. Waiting around to get in. Overpriced, lousy beer. $40 T-shirts. Being frisked by security. Some mediocre opening band. Not really being able to see Death Cab from so far and from so high up.
I think I’ll stay home and eat yogurt that night...

This is pretty f-ing cool.
And because I can’t let any opportunity for a cheap joke just pass by without capitalizing upon it, I’m going to guess they’ll probably find a Republican presidential candidate who isn’t a complete lunatic disappearing into said black hole.

It’s always really cool when your friends get noticed. Reblogged to listen to later.

Just so Congress can see what they’ll be missing if they pass PIPA.
Get a good look, boys.

That’s the best thing I’ve read today. And also probably the most accurate. Barring the spelling and grammatical...

Save the Internet
Don’t you think Tumblr should stop deleting the blogs of people who say mean things about Julia Allison before they start protesting against censorship on the Internet?
Just a thought.
