I got Jon and Janice in this one! But I don’t have any of Gee, or the dozen other people there. Great times.

Speaking of Sesame Street guests, here’s Will Arnett on Sesame Street. Better if you imagine it as Gob on Sesame Street.

Roger Ebert blogged about his profile in Esquire. If you haven’t, make sure to read the Esquire profile. Cliches to describe it: heartbreaking and uplifting. But it’s interesting to read about Roger Ebert’s thoughts on the magazine article:
I knew going in that a lot of the article would be about my surgeries and their aftermath. Let’s face it. Esquire wouldn’t have assigned an article if I were still in good health. Their cover line was the hook: Roger Ebert’s Last Words. A good head. Whoever wrote that knew what they were doing. I was a little surprised at the detail the article went into about the nature and extent of my wounds and the realities of my appearance, but what the hell. It was true. I didn’t need polite fictions.
Now that I think about it, Roger Ebert is one of the first writers whose name I was familiar with as a kid, and of course it was from hearing the two thumbs up line so often. But as I got older, his movie reviews always held extra weight for me.

Then the magic happens—Bona sprinkles a layer of brown sugar on top and whips out the flame saber. The smell of the just-charred crackly top is just as satisfying as the tap-tap-tap ritual (performed with their compostable corn-based spoons, naturally). Then you dig down and get the perfectly-cooked grains.
I love oatmeal and I love creme brulee. I really really need to try this.

MarsEdit 2. Mac blogging application. I tried MarsEdit and a few other blogging applications around Christmas 2008 when I first got my MacBook (best present ever, can’t say that enough), and for whatever reason I decided WordPress’s improved interface was good enough or better. And when I say “for whatever reason”, I really have no idea what I was thinking, because posting in MarsEdit is a breeze. Composing long posts, putting up quick links, and just navigating old posts is a breeze. And there’s Flickr integration so photo posts take less than half the time they used to, but I admit my old workflow for those posts was pretty awful. I highly recommend MarsEdit.

Chris Brown and Elmo. Mostly just wanted to re-post this video because I just watched it again a couple weeks ago and it’s as good as it ever was. On a side note, it looks like Chris Brown might sign to Young Money. I was looking up Drake’s age the other day to see if he was younger than me (because I’m a groupie), and yeah he is. Kind of similar to new athletes you like end up younger than you. But I also looked up Chris Brown’s age and completely forgot that he’s not even 21 yet.
Answer: YES

Anthony Bourdain on Yo Gabba Gabba. Plenty of odd guests on this show. Oh yeah, he plays a doctor and not a chef in the segment.

Ant lifting 100 times its weight. Great picture. (Via Gizmodo.)

Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris “Baby”. So very very catchy. Plus the video has a Drake cameo at 1:14. Once they do a song together, that’s a guaranteed #1 on iTunes/Billboard/my-heart and a retired video on TRL ten years ago. (Thanks, Laura.)
