I have a Friday Night Lights hangover today. After many suggestions from people telling me I should watch the show, I tossed it onto my Netflix Instant Queue and watched the pilot on my Xbox last night. Then I watched 9 more episodes in a row. I watched 7.5 hours of the show in one sitting.
My back hurts and I have a too-much-TV headache and I woke up at 1PM. Still worth it, though.

This is so beautiful. I really want to try something similar at some point.
The Day Before the Day Before Christmas
Me: Just be sure you burn it on one of the special gold discs.
Shawn Morrison: Why?
Me: Because this movie is too good for standard DVD.
Me: It should only go on gold. Or platinum. Or diamond.
Shawn Morrison: I was going to imprint it into a monkey's brain and have him act it out.
Shawn Morrison: It's THAT GOOD.
Me: God, that's the fucking future right there.
Me: Quicktime still can't export to MP3?
Shawn Morrison: Nope, what do you think this is, 2008??
Me: How can I export an MP3... Oh, iTunes. Right.
Fifteen Minutes Later:
Shawn Morrison: I usually just encode my music into monkey brains and let them sing it for me. So much better than MP3 and Ogg.
Shawn Morrison: (Yes, I know that was like 15 minutes late.)
Me: Yeah, that would have hit much better on time.
Me: Also, nice Ogg reference.
Shawn Morrison: Agreed, and thank you.
In case you’re curious, I don’t use LOL. I use “heh” for when something makes me smile, “hah” for when someone is being sarcastically funny and I smile, “haha” for when something is funny, and “hahaha” for when I actually laugh. Once you get to three HAs, everything after is a meter of just how much I’m actually laughing. I have...

A Few Social Etiquette Rules for Instant Messenger...
If you’re going to be away for a long time, either leave a descriptive away message or sign off. It’s annoying when some is “Away” for 7 hours. Descriptive messages like, “Out of the office for the day” or “At the movies” give people an easy way to decide how they might contact you depending on urgency. If you sign off, then people will use non-IM...

Fred Armisen stops by Jimmy’s office to help him test his interview skills in preparation for taking over Late Night in March.
Entire Arrested Development series on sale for $30... →
If you’ve never watched the show (or even if you have) this is a HUGE deal. I don’t buy TV series on DVD anymore, but I’m seriously considering buying this anyway because it’s so cheap. Three seasons of great content for about the cost of a new movie. Crazy. (via marco)

Tip: Photoshop CS4 Installation Components
The PS CS4 installer presents you with a crapload of optional “shared components” for install, and I wasn’t sure which were necessary or not so instead of installing them all I did a little research first and figured out what each item was and if it was important. This might help you too when installing.
Optional items you...

WatchJizz In My Pants
The YouTube version (which was posted by Lonely Island guys themselves) was taken down by NBC Universal (WTF?), so this is the version that was on Funny or Die. Let’s see how long this one lasts.

WatchHardly Working: Fired Up
This might be my favorite Hardly Working to date.
Me: Did you get my message about your hat being here?
Me: Well, if you did, ignore it. I burned it a minute ago while trying to perform a fireball stunt.
Me: But I'll get you a new one.
Me: And sidenote: Fireball stunt FAILED.
The iMac is sold, but the MacBook Air is still available. 1.8GHz CTO, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD, perfect condition, covered by Apple Care until 2011, in its original box. $1500. Email garrett at maniacalrage dot net.
Say someone was selling a MacBook Air (1.8GHz CTO, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD) and a 24-inch iMac (silver/black, 2.4GHz Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD), both of which were in perfect condition, covered by Apple Care and would be sold in their original boxes. Say this someone would like to sell them locally (NYC), but doesn’t mind shipping if the buyer pays shipping fees. And maybe this someone was asking...
If you’re on the east coast, look outside—Venus and Jupiter are right next to the moon in the sky and it looks awesome.
