OMG, Wil Wheaton posted the first of a projected series of Star Trek: The Next Generation reviews, at TV Squad. Will starred in ST:TNG as Ensign Wesley Crusher, and I apologize to Trekkies for the obviousness of pointing that out. As a Trekkie (Trekker? whatever) myself, I find it insanely cool to read Wil commenting on his own own legendary TV show and iconic character. He recaps the plot with amusing cynicism, rips a writer for giving him bad lines, and offers memories from behind the scenes. It's what I and countless others have always wanted: a virtual version of watching the episode on DVD at Wil's house.
E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is on. And our flagship gaming blog Joystiq is there in a big way. Live blogging -- point by point, event by event, keynote by keynote, product announcement by product announcement. Excitement, photos, rumors, revelations. Check in often.
I'm filing this under "Why didn't I think of that?" Actually, this is the sort of product that I love in theory, but will never on this green earth actually use. It's a split keyboard (really split, as in downright schizophrenic) whose right half functions as an oversized, lumbering mouse. It looks like two orphaned pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The concept is generating alot of opinion; check out the comments.
Vlad Cole, brilliant lead blogger of Joystiq, our flagship game blog, was
interviewed on National Public Radio's Marketplace this morning. It's about Microsoft's acquisition of
Massive, a game advertising company. Weren't listening? Why not? Well, no matter -- you can listen now. You must listen
now. You will listen, and you will learn. Sorry, I was channeling an animated 18th-century warrior for a sec. Anyway,
here is the directlink to the audio file: Listen here.
Mike Sciannamea and
Brian White, the dynamic duo (really, they are) who produce The Wireless
Report, have added a new feature to the blog: The Wireless Report Podcast. The inaugural edition is a feast for
anyone fascinated by the technology and politics of wireless communication. The first 'cast covers wireless 411,
in-flight wifi, mobile television, and RFID privacy. Count on continuing audio coverage of municipal wifi initiatives,
which the blog covers voraciously. Go
here for the podcast entry page, or hit the MP3 file directly with this link.
Donald Trump? Alan Greenspan? Even better -- Andrea Lake. C'mon, you know; the Apprentice contestant who was
eliminated from the show last night. Free of the tedious exercise in gamesmanship, Andrea is attending the Milken Global Conference, and
our on-the-scene blogging team sat down for a video interview. Andrea
is interested in business (obviously) and philanthropy, and discusses her near-term plans now that she's no longer
knocking on the Donald's door.
It
would be a heinous exaggeration to say that Apple releases a new product every day. If it did, I'm not sure it would
keep the doctor away so much as infect everyone with some sort of deadly hype virus. Anyway, the royal Jobness did
unleash a new and lovely 17-inch MacBook, and we've got the sparkling toy doubly covered. Check out discussions at The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW), and
from Engadget.
We haven't touched down on the annual Milken
Institute Global Conference since 2004, and Weblogs, Inc. is back to cover
the 2006 event full throttle. "The Milken" is a conference, think session, and networking opportunity for
senior executives around the world. It provides a fascinating and stimulating environment where the leaders and great
thinkers of the day gather to share insights, debate, and meet each other. Science, economics, business, and the future
stay on center stage this week, Monday through Wednesday. Go here to pick up our team's trail.
Willy Volk, the lead blogger of our Divester site, found an astonishing video of a great
white shark propelling itself completely out of the water in a vertical attack on a seal. This is not a bloody video,
but it demonstrates the ferocity of life -- and at the same time the beauty with which nature's implacable laws can be
expressed -- as explicitly as any video clip you're likely to see anywhere.
Don't worry,
we're not causing a secession. Ohio will remain in the Union. But perhaps we are reinventing the state, and we are
certainly putting a fun, personal, colorful spin on everything Ohio. It's our newest site: BloggingOhio. Five diverse bloggers put their spins on Ohio life and Ohio news.
From state fairs to campus life; from the beauty of Ohio's many parks to video drives along Cleveland
streets; from the weather to the food -- this is a living, breathing Ohio.
Think you know all about this state? Think again.
This makes
six, but who's counting? Six game-specific satellite blogs surrounding the flagship Joystiq, that is. The latest,
birthed last night, is dedicated to the PlayStation 3 console, and features gonzo bloggers Dan Choi and Adams Briscoe.
So now our game-blog platform looks like this:
Kim Voynar of
Cinematical scored an hour of sit-down
time with Jason Reitman, director of Thank You for Smoking. The tangled history of the movie's screenplay
is revealed, and Jason (I'm calling him Jason as if I interviewed him) discusses the frustrations he experienced
obtaining the book rights, and the thrill of directing Robert Duvall.
More than two months away,
starting May 17, the renowned Cannes Film Festival is already attracting buzz. According to Martha Fischer at
Cinematical, The Da Vinci Code will open the festival out of competition. Among the contest films, A French
entry titled Paris, je t'aime will kick things off on the 18th. The film feature 20 vignettes created by 20
directors, acted by a boatload of stars. Pick up on Cinematical's ongoing Cannes coverage here.
George Clooney resides atop the world of entertainment. He received multiple Oscar nominations for last year's film
work. He won the first award (Best Supporting Actor) in this year's award ceremony. As an actor and producer, Clooney
can do pretty much whatever he wants. So the time is right to puncture his bubble, and Joel Keller of TV Squad does so
by listing
the five pre-stardom TV roles that George Clooney would like to erase from his bio. Critique the list or add to it
here.
