How We Read Online
We’re all lazy when it comes to reading online, at least according to Slate’s Michael Agger. We like short paragraphs, bold, bullets, hyperlinks, and sentence fragments. An absurd majority hates scrolling. Ironically, it is a really great read and it goes by fairly quick. Lazy Bastards: How We Read Online Oddly enough, Agger doesn’t go into detail over paginated webpages. I can’t stand clicking, especially when I’m reading an article that’s divided onto multiple pages (I’m looking at you New York Times). He also suggests not to use puns. What does he know… Not to link-jack or anything, but Agger links to an essay by media critic William Powers which details (at great length) why paper, or as Powers describes it “an anchor for the consciousness,” will never be permanently replaced. It’s for hardcore readers only. Hamlet’s Blackberry: Why Paper Is Eternal (0)-

Bear Attack!
Bears were the topic of conversation all day long, in just about every class of mine. Now I get online and stumble across these graphic images of a brutal bear attack.

Besides his stance on abortion, his crappy history of judicial appointments, his three wives, and the whole drag thing, Rudy has [...]

Jewell of Denial
Remember Richard Jewell? He was the security guard who went from national hero to primary suspect after a pipe bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Jewell was never charged and was eventually cleared of suspicion but the national media had already tarnished his name in such a way that would make Nancy Grace seem reserved. Well, Richard Jewell died today. It really is a shame that Jewell will forever be known as the Olympic Park bombing suspect rather than the hero he really was. I’m sure he would have loved to share a title with a meat-stuffed sandwich. (0)

The Simpsons Movie
There have been a few exceptions over the years but, as a general rule, film studios, 20th Century Fox in particular, don’t typically allow alterations to their logos in the opening of a film. Occasionally, you’ll see some tweaks in trailers but when it comes to the final product, it’s usually just the same [...]

24: Donkey Lips Down!
So Edgar Allan Slow’s fat ass didn’t make it into the sealed room and that tricky nerve gas got him. I felt a shudder when he hit the ground. And a tremor.
TONIGHT:
Will Tony interogate Christopher Henderson himself?
Will Jack throw Kim’s analrapist boyfriend out into the nerve gas?
Will Martha Logan do Agent [...]
