Look! Up on YouTube! It's a TV show! It's a Podcast! No, it's a behind the scenes look at the founding and running of PayPerPost, which is a new-ish Web 2.0 company.

Classic. This takes me back… And if you don’t get the joke, well… too bad.

A+E Interactive: "Studio 60'' gets a full season
In what may be the best entertainment news I've heard recently, Aaron Sorkin's new NBC show "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" has been picked up for the entire season.
There had been pretty serious rumors that NBC was going to give the series the axe for failing to pull the viewers NBC was hoping for.

Apple Dumps Justin Long "The Mac Guy"
The "I'm a Mac" campaign isn't over, we're going to see more of the commercials from Apple humorously highlighting the differences (and similarities) between Macs and PCs.

Microsoft beats Apple to the TV with Xbox Live Video
Apple Computer and its CEO Steve Jobs are known for pre-emptive product launches. In a somewhat shocking reversal, Microsoft today "pulled an Apple" on Apple by announcing deals with CBS MTV, Warner Bros, Turner Broadcasting and Paramount Pictures to sell downloadable video content from these networks and studios to the XBox Live platform. Basically, the new service takes the XBox 360 platform and turns it into a fully functioning media device to compete with Apples as yet unseen iTV product.

One of the things I try to do here in my little corner of the net is to educate.

With the welcome shift recently of cable networks airing first-run shows during the traditional networks summer hiatus, the launch of the fall premieres isn’t the event it once was. And while I’ve been fairly happy with the summer offerings (like Rescue Me, The 4400,Treasure Hunters, Monk and Psych) some have left me a little unfulfilled (Kyle XY). — Hmmm… Summer Season Wrap Up sounds like it might be a good blog post. — Anyway, I’m looking forward to the launch of the new Fall Season and several shows in particular, here’s what will be on my TV, computer screen, video iPod and Orb stream this fall. If you ask nicely, Pamma just might be convinced to talk about her Fall watch list and explain her devotion to Ty Penningtion, Mark Harmon, Hugh Laurie, and (of all people) Anderson Cooper.
