By Jeff, on January 26th, 2008 Writer’s Blog: Striking Writers Head to Capitol Hill
The writer’s strike continues, though negotiations have started once again. Meanwhile, the writers went and had a mock debate in Washington D.C. to raise awareness. Seems like it was pretty funny…
– On the writers strike: “It would cost Paramount a total of $4.6 million to give the writers everything they’re asking for. That’s half the amount it would take to get Reese Witherspoon into a movie. . . . → Read More: Writer’s Blog: Striking Writers Head to Capitol Hill
By Jeff, on January 24th, 2008 Comcast.net TV – Colbert Raises $171,000 for Charity
Okay, it’s cool that he raised that much money, and it’s funny how he did it, but this is what I love:
Since returning from the writers strike without his writing staff, [Stephen] Colbert has managed to get a portrait of himself hung at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., where it will hang between the bathrooms and near the “Americas Presidents” exhibit for about five . . . → Read More: Stephen Colbert found hung between bathrooms

The topic of the linked post has (almost) nothing to do with my post here. It’s the comments that I want to point out. Here’s a synopsis of the situation:
Get Rich Slowly is a personal finance blog (and a pretty good one… I’d encourage you to subscribe). Some months ago, JD, the author, went on vacation and had some guest posters . . . → Read More: Some people have REALLY short fuses
By Jeff, on January 22nd, 2008 A few posts back, we got into a bit of a discussion that significantly hinged on fair use. I mentioned that I had a fair use reference but didn’t have it handy. Here it is:

By Jeff, on January 15th, 2008 Official Google Reader Blog: There’s a feed for that?!
I’ve never actually used Craig’s List, but the article linked above points out that you can use feeds from that site and others to help you in a job search. It also has some other uses for feed readers that may not be immediately obvious to some people.
While I don’t use Craig’s List, I do have the feed from my ASTD job search coming to . . . → Read More: Job Search via RSS

(Wow, that’s a weak post title … sorry)
Go to the link above for a news release and trailer for a cross-over from Star Wars to head-to-head battle game SoulCalibur 4.
I have a hard time getting the trailers to run smooth off the Star Wars site for some reason… lots of jumpiness… so if you’d rather see it smoother, try this page (though . . . → Read More: What calibur is your lightsaber?
By Jeff, on January 12th, 2008 Free Royalty Free Music Loops, Free Royalty Free Sound Effects
A couple months ago we completed the first four podcasts our company has produced, for internal training purposes. I’ve mentioned previously some of the testing we did to get them produced, and I’ll probably go into more detail in the future on what process we ended up with and how we intend to move forward. For now, I just want to point out one aspect . . . → Read More: Free Music & sound effects for podcasts

By Jeff, on January 8th, 2008 Afternoons with Amit: How to watch TV online…legally
See, that’s the kicker – doing it legally. Anyone can find illegal TV. Given the option, though, I’d much rather support the companies creating these shows by going the legal route. If that means I have to put up with four 30-second commercials, I’m okay with that. Just don’t skimp on the quality, and make it easy to navigate.

By Jeff, on January 8th, 2008 finslippy: Give me your worst parenting stories
[Found through ParentHacks]
Holy cow, this is the funniest and saddest thing I have read or seen in the last year. It’s a good thing I’m alone, because the howling laughter at times would have freaked everyone out. I couldn’t see the screen because of the tears from laughing so hard at times.
