Time for another chronicle from the trenches at MTV. A couple weeks ago I saw an tv ad for the broadway production of Jekyll & Hyde starring Sebatian Bach. Imagine that! Closer inpsection indeed revealed that the fair-haired banshee rocker from Jersey had gone 'legit'.

Christina, who's 11, almost 12, has been playing alot with her friend Aeysha on neopets.com. Out of interest I looked to see what they're about. The info I sought was handily placed on the 'About us' page of course :-) Their business model is something they call Immersive Advertising. Interesting concept and totally out of reach of non-immersed parental units. They've got some cute research to back up their sucessful claims. And what's with this 'confidential' crap?

Peter Ford's Parent Teacher Night: "Talking with parents tonight at school. It's great to see how many are positive about the effect of weblogs on their child's education. "Weblogs have expanded her horizons," said one. She went on to outline how the whole family across the States have been reading her child's writing and research."

If only he knew how true this is as well!

Dave: "On Sept 11, the first-hand accounts from amateurs with keyboards, telephones, digital cameras, relatives at the scene, were just a demo of what's coming in the next few years."

I had no idea angrywhitegirl worked at Apple. Even nicer to see her recommendations on scoring a job in Cupertino

The United States Army is releasing their own game, this Independence Day - an interesting campaign to influence players (kids I presume). It is called America's Army , and on the 4th, it can be downloaded from http://www.americasarmy.com/ -- It uses the latest Unreal engine, which I presume means it will be worth checking out.

Update: Make sure you check out the commercial for this game. Somewhat disturbing knowing the Army is serious about this shit.

A picture named 38109844_michael300.jpg Singer George Michael's new video, which portrays Tony Blair as a poodle to US president George Bush, will premiere tonite on MTV and VH1. The cartoon video for Shoot The Dog also features a scene in which the singer, dressed in a leopard-print thong, tries to seduce Cherie Blair.

I think it's about time someone from the atistic community stood up and challenged what's been going on for the past 9 months. Enough Britney and Boy Bands. Bring on some political pop. You go Girl!

Patricia said something interesting this morning. She said she felt like she'd been abducted last night and 'tested on'. Of course she was only describing a run down feeling, but still....

Well this is an interesting one: I used to dream about a hot teacher coming on to me after school. The ultimate schoolboy fantasy. Not for this kid, who's family is now suing for $2.6 million. [metafilter]

Bernard M. Baruch. "Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation."
