I think we’ve all been preparing for something like this for a while now. I agree with the writer that in a few years youthful (or not so youthful) indiscretions will amount to nothing more than a few chuckles. We’re all fallible and I think I would be more wary of someone who hasn’t ruffled a few feathers along the way.

Nick is really funny. He was in our studio a few weeks ago shooting the Audience Choice Award promo for the Streamys and I couldn’t stop biting my lip to keep from laughing and messing up the shot. He’s also a seriously tall dude.

Why Americans Don’t Like Jazz →
The reason I love jazz is because I can lose myself in it, because it’s open to interpretation, because it’s different every time… same with an abstract piece of art. Kind of disappointed to hear that it’s only 3 percent of the market share, though I guess I’m not surprised.

The Hump is a pretty popular sushi place right in the private Santa Monica airport — I’ve been there once and it’s frequented by masters-of-the-universe types who land their planes there. The filmmakers, who just won an Academy Award for their documentary The Cove, which depicts the annual killing of dolphins by villagers in a Japanese national park, caught the whale being served on...
