The new myspace series Roommates reminds me a lot of Scott Zarkarin’s NoHo Girls which was mildly interesting but over all low on worth while story.

Choice quote from Arin Crumley:

Today I officially unsubscribed from LonleyGirl15. I watched the whole first season and a little more. I was way behind on videos at this point.

I know at some point it would lose my interest. To often the plot went extremely slow and any built up suspense was almost rarely realized into something satisfying. I think I watched mostly because there was a lot of suspense and the slow plot really let them flesh out the characters.

It was a fun ride and though the series might be counted as a success I think the format is doomed to failure with out a larger company behind it. A real time action series needs to be well funded to work correctly and LonelyGirl just did not have the cash or ability to scale along with the plot they wanted to write.

I had no idea that some fonts came with context alternatives for glyphs that need to work in different ways.

Violent Acres, an amusing and inflammatory blogger, was finally unmasked. These stories of tracking people down though trackbacks, deep internet search and a wide array of other tools never ceases to amaze me. I hope being outed doesn’t stop her. (via Waxy)
