I love the Internet. So much so, that I capitalize Its first letter still, even though the New York Times doesn’t.

The Internet brings me things like I Love Pickles wristbands, $3.00 each, with proceeds, it seems, going to Pickle Packers International, Inc. –a trade association for the pickled vegetable industry.

Screw you, cancer!

A look back at the Oscars… Check out my final post on the Yahoo! Movies Oscar Blog, posted today and up for, oh, I’d say about 11 months.

I offer a theory on why the ratings for the show are the lowest ever, and suggestions on how to get more people engaged.

It’s 3:20. There are 817 comments on the Yahoo! Oscar Blog post. Most of them say I’m nutso, horrible, and what’s wrong with America (and parts of Canada).

It’s OK. I’m strong. I’m full of integrity. And delicious fried chicken.

I can transform this hate into love. I am a conduit of God’s alchemy.

It’s only a blog. It’s only the Oscars. It doesn’t really remind me of anything that took place in my childhood home, or school, or workplaces.

It just seems that way sometimes.

It still doesn’t make me like Juno.

The Oscar nominees are announced this morning at 530 a.m.

Who would be crazy enough to be up at that hour? ME! I’ll be blogging about them LIVE and sleepy for Yahoo! Movies. Check it out at http://oscars.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/. I’ll have a more formal post up later in the day, and then my weekly gig with updates starts in earnest next Monday.

The first official-ish post is already up.

Viva Oscar! Viva sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

One day I hope to be aboard a victory projectile. I believe right now I’m aboard a mediocrity puff.

I’m huge in Italy.

If Italy could be measured by one person’s blog. Product integration sounds so much nicer in Italian.

Actually, if you want to learn how a Dutch Jew like me could fit in in Italy, check out this book. Though it’s technically a fictionalized account, the family tree and history of my surname is all true.

Here’s a me-centric mini-version of the pilot I did in January called “Balls of Steel.” It was to be for A&E, but alas, they passed. Apparently there was not enough A nor E for them (though I maintain we delivered plenty in the “&” department). There are zillions of clips from the British version of the show on YouTube. Apparently it’s a huge hit over there. It’s also gotten traction in other markets around the world. Perhaps it will still find life on another American outlet. Whatever happens, I’m glad I got to keep the shirt that Michael Davies bought for me to wear. In fact, I wore it on my last pilot. Hopefully that show doesn’t suffer a similar fate.
