WatchHulu - Saturday Night Live: Couric / Palin Open
Tina Fey is a genius and I love her. The scariest thing about this satire though is that there are parts where it’s not even comedy writing…they just actually use the strange lines that Palin attempted. Horrifying.

Thoughts on the debate...
I’d have to say it was a pretty big disappointment. I thought it was essentially a draw: Obama definitely came across as far more intelligent, well-spoken, and knowledgeable about the issues…but this is America, and that’s not enough. McCain blatantly lied or “misdirected” multiple times (truth isn’t on his side here), but he landed more sound bytes, and...

After hearing Matt Damon’s brilliant comparison of a Sarah Palin presidency to a bad Disney movie, I called up Sam and said “Let’s make a trailer for what that movie would look like.” Within hours, Dan and Amir were writing it, Ben and the CHTV crew were casting and producing it, and two weeks later, here it is.

I’ll be curious to see where this goes…but still feels like a big loss. Thank god for Tumbltape.

Paul Krugman - Cash for Trash →
It’s one thing to watch a deepening financial crisis with your own knowledge about the various issues and feel an unsettling sense of dread…and another when people who you mostly believe are just talking heads start squawking…but when people you trust in financial industry positions are worried, and then an economic columnist as intelligent and respected as Krugman starts hinting...

IMDb - Watch Full-Length Movies and TV Shows --... →
ideas:
“IMDb is now showing full-length movies and and a great selection of full-length TV episodes directly on our site — for free!”
All the content is being sourced from Hulu though…so not nearly as great as it first seemed. Just another lateral move in the studios’ tests of internet distribution viability, I suppose.

– Dropbox Beta Invite
In the past year, there are three beta waiting lists that I’ve actually felt anxious on. The first was Evernote, which I’ve actually been using very sporadically…I hope to use it constantly once I get an iPhone. The second, which I’m still waiting on...

Glassbooth - Quiz to help you choose best 2008... →
I’ve mentioned this site before, but I think it’s worth bringing up again as we head into the stretch run of this campaign. The quiz is definitely a helpful tool (71% Obama vs 50% McCain for me this time), but what’s even more important is that this lays out the actual policy positions in an objective format. You say where you stand, and how important specific issues are, and...
