Long time no blog! (Or R.I.P. Hazrat George Carlin)

So many things to occupy time, so little time for them to occupy.

Here’s an interesting interview I came across with author Salman Rushdie

For the other geeks among us, you might find PC World’s list of the Top 50 Tech Visionaries inspiring.

Here, you can listen to an audio version of a Q&A between Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell and Ann Hathaway (listen to the audio online by clicking on the link in the middle there).

Lastly, but definitely not leastly, here’s a tribute to the funniest guy who ever lived who died this past weekend, George Carlin. The world was funnier with ya, George, we’ll miss your sick, twisted, brilliant brain. Here he is, in his own words…

Stephen Colbert and the End-Of-Year Awards

Kiran — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 02:27:38 +0000

AP has selected Colbert as its Celebrity of the Year, which makes a lot more sense than the former KGB officer chosen by Time magazine.

“It is truly an honor to be named the Associated Press’ Celebrity of the Year. Best of all, this makes me the official front-runner for next year’s Drug-Fueled Downward Spiral of the year. P.S. Look for my baby bump this spring!”
—Stephen Colbert

Stephen and Jon are back!

Industry insider blog Deadline Hollywood Daily, among others, is announcing that The Colbert Report and The Daily Show by Jon Stewart will be returning to the air starting January 7, 2008. Finally I can start paying attention to the news of the world again! Without these two around making regular commentary on world events, watching the news was like chain-smoking unfiltered cigarettes. Thanks, Universe!

We’ve been taping, each night, monday through thursday, the new episodes of The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report. Then, over the course of the week and the weekend, we watch them all.

It’s a fab system we’ve developed. We don’t miss the antics of the shows, and yet we don’t end up cutting into our sleep time to watch them. And, as a bonus, we can fast forward through all the commercials! Ahh, VCRs are not obsolete yet.

I have to say that Colbert has taken the wonderful concepts that were developed on the Daily Show, and placed them among the heavens above. The guy is not just an incredibly funny comedian, he’s also the sharpest mind on TV since Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Sheer genius. Each episode is packed all the way through with punches and jabs and acute observations on topics as diverse as Sigmund Freud’s birthday, to Feminine Sexual Emplowerment, to Robotic Deadly Bears.

His schtick, so amazingly played out by him, of being a neo-conservative, ultra right wing, xenophobic, homophobic, religious-fundamentalist is just flawlessly portrayed – except for the few times each night when he breaks out into a grin mid-sentence.

I am just so happy that there is SOME quality on TV nowadays. Being more of a book-ish person, TV is usually a very disappointing and boring waste of time for me. But when it’s Colbert time, his Lincolnish despite for the factinista make my stomach hurt in sweet pain from unstoppable laughter.
