The directors/writers/producers/typing monkeys behind Lie to Me on Fox have to be some of the most clever people to get hired by Fox in YEARS. I have only seen the first two episodes (which I wouldn’t have seen at all had it not been for Hulu), and am hooked. As someone who loves to observe people (part of why i like playing poker, the other reason is i like tricking people, no don’t worry, not you), this is the perfect show. This takes the idea of someone who has a super attention to detail (cough Psych cough), adds some science (cough House cough), and mixes in some crime drama (cough EVERY SHOW ON CBS cough). What you get after that cocktail of emotions is digested is a pretty good show. Tim Roth plays his part pretty well, and we’ll have to see if the show doesn’t get cancelled how they keep everyone on their toes.

I think the key to this show hooking me is the fact I realized while watching it I kept trying to think about my own facial expressions when I interact with others. So next time you are talking to some girl in a bar, look for the following signs. Oh yeah, also check for an adam’s apple, because well you know….

On this historic day, we are able to inaugurate a new president, and witness a dynamic shift in our media consumption methods. This election has changed how we see social tools and web tools affecting our lives and our government. Today we see how technology is making that same government more accessible to the millions of people unable to experience this event otherwise. Over a million people are watching this on CNN. Wow.

- Note - I had the inauguration video embedded before, now it is the Benediction by Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery instead. The original video embed did not work.

While browsing the vimeo blog I came across this new feature they are calling the hubnut, its a really smart way to improve an already great site.

I put videos I create on Vimeo. You can see my profile.

The hubnut makes sharing all your videos in one place a much simpler and more viral event. Not to get into too much detail, but it seems like this is taking the idea of a video channel out of the video sites, and putting it everywhere. good job vimeo team.

Dear TV Producers:
Next time you start a new show, at least try and make it remotely accurate. Tonight while watching the premiere of Drive on Fox I noticed a big error. First they start their race in Key West, FL. Then they proceed to drive towards Miami (highway signage stated 39 miles), then there were MOUNTAINS along the highway. Last time I checked, the highest point in this part of florida was a trash mound maybe a hundred feet above sea level. So no mountains, and no desert like foliage on the side of the road. C’mon you’d think after so many tv folk having shot movies and shows here they’d know that there are no mountains here….
