Oh, and also, Kristen has a pic of our boy being all Big Time Director at TimMinear.net.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
So pretty. Mmmmmmmmm.

Allyson, thanks for posting these pictures - especially for labeling the names (which the sieve that I call brain can never keep from falling through its holes).
[Edit: and from all your descriptions about the show, the one that really caught my interest and made me stop wondering about the too-dark factor was the one about exploring the "who of the possible me will I become?" question, since I'm pretty much there still myself, and I would love to see how that may play out.]
Again, I"m getting all curious and excited and interested about a show which who-knows when I get to watch (notice the lack of the word "if" there, though). It's better than having nothing to be curious about, so it's not like I'm complaining. Oh, and Kristen - thanks so much for putting up the promo pictures!

Oh, pretty pictures. Thanks for posting.

I told Tim they should let me write the show descriptions for the site. If I can get Nilly past the ripping off of faces, I can sell this show.

Totally.

Somebody just e-mailed me this NYTimes article (it's around 3 weeks old, so it might have been posted here already, I wouldn't know - I've been skipping so much). For the sake of a good story and good characters and interesting interactions and things in all these that actually reflect my life, I'm willing to watch from behind my raised hands (and peek through the cracks of my fingers, because after all I wouldn't really want to miss a second), no matter that I'm so vanilla that the other ice-creams are being calibrated by me.

There's been quite a bit of criticism of Steven Johnson's "sleeper curve" thesis. Sone good discussion starts here: [link] and also appears in later posts on the same blog.

Thanks, Jon (also, good to "see" you!).
I just started reading that article, so it's interesting to know I already have some criticism over it at hand.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The funniest response to that article I saw was a letter to the editor which was a fairly sound rebuttal, except for the part which called television "a solitary, passive activity." 'Cause, solitary? Let me introduce you to this newfangled 'internet' thing here...

Perhaps we should introduce the writer to Watch n' Post.
Or send pics of a PBP.
