The Gist
America is totally obsessed with superheroes, the supernatural and vampires. I mean, seriously. Here's three new upcoming television shows to prove it!
"Lost" creator J.J. Abrams has created a new series called "Fringe" which is a cross between "The X-Files", "Altered States" and "The Twilight Zone". The series premieres on Fox, September 9th.
And for all you vampire lovers out there, a new HBO series called "True Blood" is getting ready to drop. Created by Alan Ball, the brains behind "Six Feet Under", "True Blood" is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris and premieres on HBO September 7th.
And finally, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon has been working on a new series called "Dollhouse" and is scheduled to release on Fox in January 2009.
And in other news, developing an iPhone application could be your ticket to the high life. According to 9to5mac.com, Eliza Block makes $2,000 per day from the little iPhone crossword app she created called "2 Across". Download it from iTunes here.
Sarah's On the Prowl:
Splicd let's you get straight to the point by isolating a particular part of a video to show off to your friends!

"Great show. Sarah standing gives a nice "Tech TV" feel. Moujan is so cute I have to rewind some times because I find myself not listening and just giving her the "awww" stare. I was never a huge fan of DR Kiki but I guess Cinderella was right, don't know what you got till it's gone. People complain about Heathers's "indie" picks but thats what shows like this are for. Maybe next episode she should review the new Jonas brothers cd, then everyone would be happy.
P.S. Sarah, I heard on diggnation Kevin is on the market, please re-unite karah or sevin or sarahrosegelina.
Hippo OUT!"
Pssst..Hippo, before you get yelled at, don't talk about the ersonal-pay ife-lay. And I believe Sarah is quite taken...(damn, I did it too!)

I'm the creator of Splicd and a huge Rev3 fan =p
It would be rather easy for YouTube to incorporate this feature but they choose not to.

Wow, that was a super good use of the Splicd tool. *Snaps* Now how do we make that clip viral??? This needs it's own facebook app or perhaps youtube should just buy these guys and incorporate it into there stuff.

Someone suggested Moujan to 'smile' more and not put on a fake smile. I think Moujan is the sweetest little thing. I love her segments because she talks about some horrific topics sometimes and she keeps a serious face the entire time and puts huge amounts of humor in it. I think she is doing just fabulous. No need to 'smile' more, Moujan. You kick ass!
Splicd is such an awesome tool. I am so glad that you suggested this -- I'm going to use this all the time now, thanks!

Whatever you have to tell yourself to help you sleep at night.
Good episode. Moujan is pretty hawt and "Sarah's On the Prowl" segment sounds like cougar reference. (Prrrr).

Excellent episode. Getting a dialogue with the fan base is healthy. Everyone seemed much more relaxed.
So far, I've been called a "devil's advocate" by Sarah L. and "Mr. Negative Pants" by Veronica B. over at the Tekzilla forums.
:sigh:
Re: Squarespace
"
So, you need to override the default stylesheets in order to customize your website. But, you can also use self-built custom CSS. Looks interesting.
Although, I prefer to have complete control over my code and edit the code in standalone apps.
I just finished designing and coding my blog. Plan to use ExpressionEngine as the CMS. But, I might give Squarespace a look-see.
BTW,
Note to Sarah, I'm a guy. Check my signature - itz gots my name.
