QOTD: I’m loving Scrabulous on Facebook (basically Scrabble online), but none of my peeps will make their moves fast enough. My wife loves the Scramble (basically Boggle), also fun, but not as fun for me as the Scrabulous).

I like the fact that you didn’t love all the wines. You need a show like this every once in a while. It shows that you’re still honest (which is the best part of the show and the hardest part to maintain as you get more successful).

I think by episode 420, you’re not going away, so you might as well paint the back wall. Your overall lighting will improve dramatically if the tone of the background is darker than your face.

Wine tasting is like a great roller coaster ride, not a boring ride on a straight and narrow path. Want to see some more episodes on White Bordeauxs.
My present internet obsession is NASCAR.com . Like your Jets, Tony Stewart all the way baby!

Current internet obsession is ABSOLUTELY WLTV…just started watching on Friday, and I’m halfway through the archives.

As a 20 year old avid wine enthusiast…yes, 20 year old, this is an awesome site.

QOTD: Aside from WLTV, I’ve been spending some time at Arts & Letters Daily – lots of good links covering a wide variety of subjects, not just “arts & letters”.

All lurk and no play...
Good luck with Calvin Pace. He couldn’t crack the starting lineup for our Cardinals unless someone was hurt. The Jets are as excited about free agency as you are about wine ($42mm over 6 / $20mm signing bonus seems generous).

Pandora is a fave. I’ve got a station that has every conceivable jazz pianist, awesome. If you like Pandora, you may also like slacker.com.

Sorry to hear that Altesino did not do it for you.

QOTD: Other than WLTV, I would have to say Boston.com & Espn.com (although they are putting WAY too much of their content for “insiders” for my sports.

P.S. Hey GV, Pats got Moss back, maybe the Jets won’t run wild through the AFC East in ‘08. Btw, who exactly is their QB next year?

A buddy of mine turned me on to Pandora.com a couple years ago, and I think it’s great. What I love about it most is how it gives you a bunch of artists that you may like considering their similarity to the artist to whom you’re currently listening. I’ve discovered a lot of great new musicians and bands that way.

QOTD: My Internet obsession is now, and has been for a while, http://www.IMDB.com. I’m a film nut, and I really enjoy seeing various actors’/writers’/directors’ histories and what films they worked on and whom they’ve worked with. I spend a little too much time with that stuff, but if I’m ever on Jeopardy and there’s a movies category, I’m takin’ it.
