Construction at BOTI's World HQ has finally been completed. That's good news. The bad news is that the new Big Bossman decided that he wanted to go to a more open air style workspace (It's very Web 1.0). Yep, that means no offices for anyone except directors. I am not yet a director. Ergo I got the boot from my office. Let me just say that everyone is super excited about the new layout. Note that the aforementioned Big Bossman doesn't sit with the peons.
Three Equals is too many Equals for a 16oz cup of coffee.
Note: Due to absolute chaos at the day job, updates will sporadic until things calm down a bit. Or until I just stop caring.
- The fall TV season is coming up rapidly. I think Drmorley (Nice V1 iBook on the homepage BTW. Very bleeding edge there.) asked about what was worth watching this year. Short version: I have no idea. I have yet to see any of the pilots. Teevee.org has come to the rescue with what will probably be the first of many season preview guides. If TV is really your bag you'd be well advised to pick up Entertainment Weekly's Fall TV Preview issue. They always spill a lot of ink on that sort of thing. Hey look, it's also online. Who knew? It's still kind of hard to read on the shitter.
- The Franfurt auto show is currently all the talk on the auto blogs that I read. Aside from random Euro models that we'll never see over here, one of the more anticipated debuts (for more curiosity's sake than anything else) was the BMW crossover type thing that they've dubbed the X6. Jalopnik and Winding Road have all the coverage that you need. Assuming you need coverage.
- There were two drivers that caused me to watch the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night: My wife and utter exhaustion after sanding/painting/priming the back deck railing and stairs (The stairs look very nice now thank you). The whole thing reaffirmed why I MTV is dead to me (aside from a brief fling with Laguna Beach a year ago. LC is such a bitch.). It's been said elsewhere, but what a fucking disaster. Of the televised categories, I did manage to call 6 of the 8 (televised) winners despite having only heard (or heard about) a handful of them. The Girl thought I was cheating, but how hard is it to call that Fall Out Boy is going to win 'group of the year'. MTV is responsible for the downfall of society and the war in Iraq. Also of note: They are complete and utter douchebags to work with from a professional standpoint. Uhh... link... link... Gawker posted a fairly detailed and dare I say insightful analysis of the whole Brittney thing.
