The Comcast Building has a gigantic TV! Who'd have thunk it? Note to self: posting a YouTube video of yourself waving a gun while threatening cops is not protected by the first amendment. Mayor Nutter has endorsed a long-term waterfront development plan for the Delaware River. Because it's likely that the casinos planned to be built in the area will interfere with his vision of a pedestrian-friendly extension of the city grid, expect some major......

For those of you who don't know, Larry Mendte used to do stand-up out in California. Now that he has some free time, maybe he'll pick up the mic again. Man, we hope so! Hey thanks everybody, it’s good to be here. Take my anchor chair, please! Seriously though what’s the deal with e-mail? Have you seen this thing? Apparently you can send letters and pictures over the internet. It’s true. Yeah, apparently you can......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Sony Electronics Inc. and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association have signed an agreement with a group of cable providers (including Comcast) that will allow viewers to get rid of their set-top boxes, but still receive advanced "two-way" cable services (like pay-per-view movies). Awesome. We hate those damn boxes. (Via Sarah) Did you know that there is a World Superhero Registry, listing all......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. After it came out that seven recipes listed on John McCain's campaign website as being "Cindy's Recipes" had actually been copied verbatim from the Food Network, the campaign blamed an intern, saying he'd "been dealt with" and that "we took away his zero pay." Heh heh heh. Meanwhile, a disturbing practice called microtargeting tries to connect consumer habits, like how people eat, with......

We bring you the buzz from the 215 blogs this week. Philebrity dissected the Comcast/BitTorrent relationship and broke down exactly why it's not good news for anyone. In short, it deals a crushing blow to net neutrality. Well hey, it's not as if Comcast is known for their great business practices. This Phillyist in particular has had one problem after another with the behemoth. Metroblogging pondered Obama's status as a pop culture icon on par......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. This is truly beautiful news: icanhascheezburger.com is teaming up with Jones Soda to create lolcat soda. There's even a contest to create more lolcat images specifically for the soda bottle labels. (Via Sarah) Some photos apparently taken by a spy on the Star Trek set have made their way online (via). They give us a look at a uniform and a shuttlecraft. For......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We don't normally like Sarah Silverman, or Jimmy Kimmel, but we have to admit, her music video about Matt Damon, and Jimmy Kimmel's response, are pretty funny. A far filthier parody can be found here, just make sure to keep the headphones on. (Via Jill) Ladies and gentlemen, we present the new pinnacle of food: the meat bundt. (Via Sarah) Wow.......

To the Writers Guild of America: It's not that I don't support your fight. I do. I've signed your petition. I'm a writer myself, and I'd hate it if I wasn't profiting from my own work. (If I was working in TV or film, that is – bloggers don't exactly earn residuals...) But here's the thing: as I write this, I'm watching a month-old episode of Journeyman. My DVR is 95% full. I've just discovered......
