I posted something on twitter recently about everyone in the office going on a gif-sharing craze and now it’s gotten better! … thank you Gif Shop.

I still think it’s really funny #hipsteripsum

(it’s also clearly too popular given that 50% of the time I’m getting “server not found”)

Tweetie, I’m sorry. I unistalled you for a moment in favor of your update “Twitter for Mac” but I quickly saw the error of my ways. Thanks to TimeMachine you are back and I will never make that mistake again.

Pour sauver les fois gras landais, privés de salon de Cologne, le socialiste Henri Emmanuelli et le président de Chasse Pêche Nature et Tradition, Frédéric Nihous, joignent leurs efforts. (source)

Topics covered:
- preserving the tradition of foie gras produced in SW France
- a socialist politician (not just “leftist”- straight up socialist)
- the president of a political party called: “[the party of] Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Tradition”

Loose translation:
In an effort to save “foie gras” produced in the southwest “Landes” region of France- which is being excluded from the upcoming agricultural faire in Cologne- the socialist Henru Emmanuelli and the president of the ‘Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Tradition’ political party, Fédéric Nihous, join forces.

“With around 60% of users identifying themselves as web developers or software engineers, that paints a fairly stereotypical picture of Google+’s userbase: nerdy guys who have deep understandings of technology and who don’t mind killing some time setting up Circles of friends.”

NEW EP: Steel Phantoms - Forer

Remember when the Steel Phantoms released their first self titled EP last June and it was awesome and you loved it so much and you wanted more right away? They made us wait over a year, but we forgive them because it was totally worth it and they are even giving it to us for free for a limited time through their website. Listen to Forer then download and tell all your friends!

I completely agree w/ Flavorwire's comments re: Variety/Music/Comedy Series Emmy Nominations

1) Major fist pump for Conan. Totally deserved.
2) Chelsea Lately is hilarious and I wish it would get more attention.

Full article here.

Variety, music or comedy series
The Colbert Report
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Saturday Night Live
Conan
Real Time with Bill Maher
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Snubs: Well, well, well! Somewhere, Conan O’Brien is doing a serious fist-pump. He made the list while the two biggest names in late-night — Jay Leno and Dave Letterman — are conspicuously absent. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel Live has earned a ton of praise this year and still couldn’t crack the list. Also, although no one seems to agree with us, we think Chelsea Lately is wonderful.

Surprises: The only show to make the list this year that didn’t appear in 2010 is Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. And you know what? We hated Fallon on SNL and were skeptical of the show when it was announced, but we think he’s absolutely earned it.
