Have you ever wondered what those noises coming from under the door of your neighbor down the hall really were? Was he watching a Rob Zombie film, or trying to create a real zombie? Well, the New York Times has created this awesome and engrossing interactive map of Netflix’ most rented films of [...]

I read this article and it was interesting and all, but you really only have to read the first paragraph. If there really are stories about how “cheapness is a new status symbol,” then obviously the consumer culture hasn’t gone anywhere.

When I was developing my skills as a mimic, I used this clip extensively to help me learn how to change my voice. (Also helpful when deliberately ridding myself of NY accent.)
Anyway, happy 48th birthday, 44!
