WatchDexter is quite the series. No wonder it’s made for Showtime. You can still catch it on DVD, though.

Excellence
It’s what the teams at Pixar have mastered. I really hope they don’t lose it, ever; I really enjoy their films.
If you had $10.00 budgeted to see only one movie this year, I’d say you go see WALL-E. I want to see it again.

Weezer and Weezer fans perform a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.”
Some people bitch about how Radiohead rarely perform this song anymore. Personally, perhaps selfishly, I think that’s kinda bullshit cos they DO play it, I’ve seen them perform it five or six times between 1997 and 2003.

Understanding Comics →
I just bought and finished reading this (comic) book (of sorts). It’s a pretty insightful book, one that while it just talks about comic books, it can relate to any “new” medium in general. I related it to interactive media, obviously.
