How I Feel About Two and a Half Men

The most jarring part about living in the Golden Age of television is the contrast drawn between the great shows and….well….the Two and a Half Men shows.

This hilarious parody trailer for Two Broke Girls is an appropriate commentary for the lazy screenwriting we’ve seen on a few sitcoms.  Enjoy…

Morning Glory: The Success of Buzzfeed, a Two Broke Girls Parody, and Sending your Emails in the Future

It’s difficult to imagine being productive during March, but I manage.  Somehow…
  • Bloomberg’s Businessweek highlights Buzzfeed’s success with a branded content business model.  While cat videos aren’t adding anything of value, I can’t argue with the success of Buzzfeed.
  • Do you like Whitney, Two & a Half Men, and Are you There, Chelsea?  Then you’ll love the Uniblog’s trailer for Two Broke Girls.  
  • Facebook’s starting to recommend specific friends you should move to an ‘Acquaintance’ list.  Hopefully this will automatically trigger whenever someone treats their Facebook status like it’s an away message.

Watch: Bully Trailer – The Weinstein Brothers

The Weinstein Brothers PR machine is humming away to get the rating dropped from an R to a PG-13.  And I’m glad.  Check out this trailer for their new documentary, Bully:

Morning Glory: 4 Tools for Finding the Perfect Job, The Latest Version of SimCity, and Poor Legislation

A break in the action before the Sweet Sixteen allowed me to climb out of my bout with depression.  Though it seems the U.S. government is doing its best to keep me down there…

  • Seth Godin tells hard truths about the American worker, voter, and consumer.
  •  While we’ve successfully prevented the government from stifling innovation in the tech sector, the never-ending attempt to fix a business that isn’t broken continues.   There’s tons of data to support why taking most companies public is a terrible idea from an operational perspective […]

This is Madness: What to Know About the 2012 NCAA Tournament

It’s difficult publishing thoughts on the NCAA Tournament a few days after Selection Sunday because everything’s been said about the field by now.  However, respected New York sports blogger and friend (and avid Syracuse Orangemen fan) Chris Tripodi took a break from his hard-hitting Knicks and Jets coverage to discuss a few points that I thought were missed by the Worldwide Leader.  We’ve syndicated our March Madness coverage across each of our websites, but I definitely recommend bookmarking his flagship blog, Voices in the Crowd,  to all […]

Morning Glory: March Mattness – 2012 Edition

It’s here.

After months of speculation by “Joey Brackets” and conference winners that took the 2012 season down to the wire, the most exciting sporting event in the U.S. – The NCAA tournament – kicks off tomorrow night.

In lieu of the five best technology, social media, and/or pop culture reads I typically post in the morning, here’s some bracket prep for your insanely productive day…

Morning Glory: A Distillery Grows in Brooklyn, Youtube Announces Live-Streaming of the Olympics, and Buying Beer Via Twitter

2012 is shaping up to be one of the best years of my life.  Thanks for all the well-wishes, inappropriate twitter mentions, and supporting and recommending Steam Communications the past year.  It’s been awesome.

On to business…

  • That Girl  took me to the New York Distillery to celebrate.  They put on a really nice tour, let us taste whiskey during the fermentation process, and mixed great drinks in the adjoining bar space, The Shanty.   Absolutely stop in and check it out if you’re in Brooklyn.
  • Nathaniel Whittmore tracks the Kony 2012 video through cyberspace in this […]

What Siblings Get Their Reddit-Deprived Older Brothers on Their Birthday

I’ve taken my first Reddit sabbatical in five years on account of Lent, and my youngest sister felt my pain.  This is the birthday present she left me.

 

So proud.

Morning Glory: The 38 Best NYC Restaurants, The West Wing Generation, and the iPad 3

The iPad is so unnecessarily expensive considering the lack of real improvements (battery life?) that I’m relegating it to last bullet. On to business…
  • Eater bites into 38 essential restaurants in the NYC food scene.  Any list without Back Forty is suspect, but I’m willing to let that slide. This time.
  • Vanity Fair pens my favorite article of the year thus far — an analysis of Josiah Bartlett’s influence on my generation and the “Sorkinization” of politics.  It is almost my birthday.
  • Paste Magazine stops my heart for a few moments: They […]

Morning Glory: The Return of Community, The Rise of TED, and the Startup that Wouldn’t Die

Difficult to type while my hands are still tingling from the newest Game of Thrones trailer.  Nevertheless…
  • Paste Magazine counts down to the return of Community on March 15th by featuring America’s favorite scholars in animated short films.  Thanks for giving it another shot, NBC!  Dan Harmon’s brand of comedy is one we should all appreciate.
  • Socialmouths gives the scoop on the new Facebook Timeline for brands.
  • NYMag pays homage to the rise of TED and can’t help but wonder if we’re running out of things to say.  It’s a long article, […]
