Thank You Amazon.com

I've got two websites for you to check out...
  • I'm always saddened when Real Time with Bill Maher goes off the air for a few months, but this time I, and the rest of his fans, don't have to be. Turns out that he's the host of the first online talk show Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher on Amazon.com. Maher brings all of the same wit and humor that you see on Real Time, except instead of it being all about politics and current events it's more about interviewing authors, filmmakers, musicians, etc. so that Amazon.com can plug the newest books, movies, music, and other new cool stuff. This week's guests included best selling author Dean Koontz, the director and star of the upcoming documentary The Heart of the Game, an interview and two performances by the Dixie Chicks, and a UPS Special Delivery where Steve Schirripa of The Sopranos surprises an Amazon.com customer with his Amazon.com delivery. It really is great and a new episode premieres every Thursday night at 8pm, so definitely check it out.
  • This is a just a short video on eBaum's World of a newscaster's slipup that really changes the "twist" of the upcoming news story. Pretty darn funny...click here.
That's it for now. Enjoy!
