My brother made it into the graphic design program today. It must be nice to coast through life on the coat tails of your older brother. That’s mean. I know. Still hard to be happy about this.

Applied for a job at my alma mater tonight. Feeling very mixed about it. It would be a sweet gig with great pay and benefits but It keeps me from moving to SF. It could only be for a year, which if we’re having the wedding here anyway, would work out nicely. I guess we’ll see.
Paul Resier's new sitcom coming to NBC Apr 14, 'Perfect Couples' Getting Pulled | EW.com →

NBC’s The Paul Reiser Show has the former Mad About You star playing a version of himself and will take the place of the struggling Perfect Couples on the network’s Thursday lineup.
The single-camera comedy from Reiser and Jonathan Shapiro (Life) has Reiser playing “Paul Reiser.” It’s been a few years after his TV show left primetime and Reiser lives with his wife (Amy Landecker) and kids and hangs out with a new group of fellow local dads played by Ben Shenkman, Omid Djalili, Duane Martin and Andrew Daly.

Netflix To Enter Original Programming With Mega Deal For David Fincher-Kevin Spacey Series 'House Of Cards' | Deadline →

Netflix outbid both HBO and AMC for the show. This is a big deal and essentially changes what Netflix is about.
Game. Changer.
What gadget are you most looking forward to in 2011?
Probably the Moto DROID BIONIC since the Thunderbolt seems to be a bust. I guess depending on when it’s released the iPhone 5 could be exciting but I’m not holding my breath.
What's your biggest phobia?
Swimming with fish. I’m not sure at all why but it kind of really freaks me out.
What song is stuck in your head right now?
The theme song from Salute Your Shorts. Very strange, I know.

And none of this half-appeasing Cookie Monster crap that SNL did either. We want the whole enchilada.
As long as Animal gives out the best actress award.
HOW DO YOU CHECK INTO PLACES ON FOURSQUARE DAMMIT
Download Foursquare on your phone (Android, iOS, Blackberry, Nokia and Palm all have apps I believe). There’s also a few other options like PocketCrowd that let you check in from the web.

ShortFormBlog: Could mobile also-rans T-Mobile and Sprint merge? It's a possibility →

- who T-Mobile, the U.S. mobile carrier owned by Deutsche Telekom, is a fourth-place also-ran in the cell phone market, one that Apple doesn’t even think about.
- what There are rumors that Deutsche Telekom will sell T-Mobile to Sprint, the third-largest mobile company, in exchange for a stake…
Someone really should tell Sprint the difference between GSM and CDMA. Apparently they’ve already forgotten what it’s like to merge two cell phone providers on different networks (looking at you Nextel, I hear that wasn’t as easy as they thought). I don’t see a huge upside to this other than being a larger 3rd place network instead of a 3rd place and 4th place network. I wonder if they’ll stick to pink or yellow. Will it be T-Sprint? Someone wake me up when real cell phone news happens, speaking of, where the hell is that Thunderbolt on Verizon (a network that matters)?
Fido Effect
Did you know…
Studies show that people with dogs are generally more physically active and social? Now it is not clear if more active people get dogs or people are active because they have a dog. But either way take your dog for a walk, throw a ball around or go to a dog park! Be smart, be fit!
Reason #516 to get a dog. Also, isn’t that cutest little hipster dog you’ve ever seen?
Heard the best news today…
Charlie Sheen was fired. Hell yeah! I can only hope it also means the end to the most overrated show on television. I have no idea how it can also be the most watched comedy. Americans have the shittiest taste in television. Anyways, my point is a glorious thing may have just happened for US TV and I’m probably the only person who is happy about it.
