I must have been the last person in the free world to hear about the Ashlee Simpson mix-up on SNL this weekend (I haven't watched SNL since I was a teenager, back when it was somewhat funny). At any rate, I'm a huge fan of pseudo-wannabe pop stars making asses out of themselves, so I set out to find the video; snag it here . That's quality for ya...and wtf was she doing at the end, a hoe-down? Then she blames the band (not just a session band, her band) at the end of the show? Classy. More commentary...

This is one of the coolest 2 minutes of video i have ever come across. It's actually a bit dated (came out about a year ago). It's a short spot for honda that features a virtually impossible scene using only parts from a honda car (no animation, no strings, 100% real, and the final cut is all 1 take, no edits). Apparently it took 606 takes , which is amazing in itself. It aired first in the UK, then spread on to other countries around the world, however it never made it to the US. If you...

I'm sure there has to be a couple of Massive Attack fans who visit this site, and if you're not (or have never heard of them) it's never too late to give them a shot.

At the time of that posting, CoComment only supported the big name blogging engines, and from what I gathered somewhat...

Phil just posted a great blurb about how he added live comment previewing to his website, so I promptly stole borrowed his code and added it to mine. To see it in action, start typing a comment (supports basic HTML tags) and watch the ooey gooey characters start to flow by in the Live Preview textbox! Implementation time? Less than 10 minutes.
