5. Please Watch Arrested Development
For now, something called “BookCast,” an interview show with Conservative book authors, and “Off The Record,” a web interview series with Republican leaders. Their website promises more to come. [via Scripting News]
Robert Iger, the future CEO of Disney:
“(We will) not allow management of traditional businesses to get in the way of very, very important migration to new-media platforms.”
Hmmm. Disney probably has enough money to pull that off but I’m not sure how smaller companies (like ours) accomplish this. The landscape might look very different in a few years. [Hollywood Reporter by way of E-Media Tidbits]

You might have noticed some construction in my office-cam photos. Big remodel underway at Learfield Intergalactic with lots of office reshuffle and this blogger is leaving his home of 15 years (something like that) and moving to a different office on the other side of the building. They’re letting me keep an office (only a little smaller) because I’ve been with the company for 21 years. And I appreciate the gesture. I’ll be closer to the IT Gods and that’s a good thing. Still have a window and a better view. Soon as we get moved in get the cam going going, we’ll point it that way.
Update: Photo above was taken nearly 20 years ago in the old Learfield offices located on McCarty Street here in Jefferson City. We wore suits and ties back then.
