The video below is of a dancer who was filmed over a 15-month period of time dancing like Michael Jackson at a bus stop. This is super hilarious. I love how he has a cigarette in his hand half the time.
Followup on the previous post about the dude that took a bet to eat only sausage pizza for a month: he won.
I'm pretty positive Lizzie and I are the only ones that watch Tabatha's Salon Takeover but the show's second season opener took place in Chicago at a salon right next to Wrigley.
I can't stand those stupid "There's a map for that" commercials. So I'm pretty pumped AT&T is suing Verizon for misrepresenting their covereage areas.
Apple is pitching a $30 / month TV service for iTunes to the TV networks. So I guess that means you'd be able to download anything and everything on iTunes for $30 / month. It's an interesting idea especially for people that can't get cable...like college students. But what's to stop people from getting the subscription for a month or two, downloading wayyyyy more than $30 or $60 worth of content, and then cancelling the subscription? I guess they could get around that by forcing you to pay for the entire year...? Would anyone be interested in this?
TechnoBuffalo is a new website that I ran across that is basically a user-generated blog website with its own social network. I doubt I'll keep up with it, but it might be something to check out for some of you.
For a long time I've wondered why TV netowrks don't take DVR activity into account when they figure out rating. Well, apparently they do. But the results are just now coming back. The article is definitely worth the entire read, but to sum it up: Networks originally thought that the DVR would kill commercial viewers. The reason: no one is going to sit through commercials. Apparently that isn't true. The article says that "46 percent of viewers 18 to 49 years old for all four networks taken together are watching the commercials during playback". With that figure so high, networks are now looking at and taking into account the ratings on a +3 days basis. So they take into account the number of viewers the show is watching when it air PLUS the viewers that watch it on the DVRs up to three days later. Data is even collected for +7 days. Anyway, I always wondered why I never heard about ratings with DVR consumption included. Now I have my answer.
