Worth Your Consideration 007 - A GF5 Linkdump

• News Askew is reporting that NBC will re-air Saturday Night Live’s inaugural episode this Saturday night, an episode which was hosted by the recently departed George Carlin. The classic episode will apparently be aired in its entirety, which, according to News Askew, doesn’t happen all that often on NBC.
• I’m embedding George Carlin’s take on the Ten Commandments above because it’s criminal that I didn’t embed something of his when I posted my initial thoughts on his passing.
• On a much lighter note, Gary Vaynerchuk has posted the episode of Wine Library TV that was filmed in Boston recently, an episode that I made it into the city to see last week. I think it’s a perfect “entrance” episode for anyone who is mildly interested in wine and in seeing what Gary does. There’s a great blend of humor, education, and flat-out thunder here.
• Apple will apparently be releasing a free remote control application for iPhone and iPod Touch users which will allow them to control iTunes from anywhere in their house. This is something I’ve seen quite a few people clamoring for on the Apple boards across the Web. The real key, for me, and for a lot of others, will be if this works with the Apple TV. I loves me my simple two-button Apple TV remote, but it would be nice to have something a little more robust when I needed it.
• Lastly, for the comic book fans out there, be sure to check out Newsarama’s poll of what titles the pros think we consumers are missing. The Walking Dead, which Brandice recommended to me recently is one book that gets mentioned as a must-read.

Good People Day 2008

Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV called for April 3, 2008 to be Good People Day. Said Gary, “I want to try to get the WHOLE INTERNET community behind this mission I have to make sure that [today] people write and talk and blog and twitter and just flat out SING about people that are AWESOME and GOOD.”

This here vid is my response. In it, I talk mostly about the Internet peeps whose videos help me get through the day. But I’ve begun to contribute my thoughts on my non-Internet, IRL peeps at GoodPeopleDay.net.

Basically, to sum up, if you’re reading this blog, you’re probably good people. And if I don’t write about you today, please don’t feel offended. I will write about you soon enough.
