The Newsroom

It's Survivor. Now in glorious HD at our house. The first duel between Semhar and Christine began with Semhar doing some "spoken word" that calmed her and annoyed everyone else. The duel involved balancing a little wooden totem on a pole to which they had to add sections. Semhar was eliminated. Christine stays alive. So Russell Hantz's Nephew decided to tell his tribe he's Russell Hantz's Nephew. Well, he's doomed. Ozzy told Keith he has the idol. Keith promptly told Whitney. Well, Ozzy's doomed. Mikayla confronted Russell Hantz's Nephew about the vendetta. Russell Hantz's Nephew called a tribe meeting and proceeded to proclaim he wanted no part of the drama. Irony! Mikayla cried. Russell Hantz's Nephew cried. Well, he's doo- Oh wait. I did that gag already. Coach's team won reward/immunity. Jim immediately targeted Papa Bear, the old New York cop. Ozzy agreed. Papa Bear decided to go look for the idol (which Ozzy has) to save his s...

From CBS website The new season of the Amazing Race kicked off tonight, featuring Ethan and Jenna from Survivor and a bunch of people who aren't celebrities. Or at least lesser celebrities. And twins who use the word "literally" a lot. Literally. The teams had to solve a word puzzle right off the bat. The last team wasn't eliminated but was tagged with an additional challenge called a Hazard. That honor went to the Vegas Showgirls. One of whom then dropped her passport at the gas station while asking for directions. (Keep in mind these two bragged about their brains as the show started. I'd like to thank the producers for such an awesome bit of ironic foreshadowing.) And then they argued and bickered. Ethan and Jenna hatched this plan to not tell anyone they were on Survivor. Cut to all the other teams talking about how they're competing against 2 people who won Survivor. Meanwhile the Vegas Showgirl passport was found and returned to LAX thanks to Twitter. Se...

I can't believe I forgot to post this, especially considering I'm buying the show tonight! But if you'd rather go see it at a bar, here's your hookup . Go Bones!

Ozzy pulled a Russell by finding a hidden immunity idol without a clue. Obviously, the producers either need to hide them better or take them out of the game given how quickly players go scrambling for them when they land on the beach. Ozzy promised that this time, he'd use the idol to his advantage. Unlike last time. Russell Hantz's Nephew decided to tell Coach that he's Russell Hantz's Nephew. Which I'm pretty sure will turn out to be the dumbest move of the game. But I've been wrong before. Russell Hantz's Nephew also decided he didn't like Mikalya because she was pretty. And acted pretty. And he's married. So she has to go. Obviously. I'm starting to think this game has passed me by. For her part, Mikayla - the lingerie football player and Playboy cover girl - declared she's not a girly-girl. Obviously. Team Ozzy won the immunity/reward challenge, keeping them from tribal council and sending them to camp with comfy bedding. Coac...

Tweetdeck updated its various applications today, and the big news was that the Deck.ly service is dead . As noted in the screenshot here, Deck.ly is going to be removed from all the TweetDeck services. Which is fine. Deck.ly was interesting - it allowed you to post more than 140 character updates to Twitter. But unless you used TweetDeck, the long update showed in your Twitter stream as a 140-character tweet that included a link to the TweetDeck website where the entire longer update could be read. (TweetDeck would automatically show Deck.ly posts as long tweets within the app.) It was cool, but it was not a make-or-break feature of TweetDeck. The good news is that Chrome TweetDeck now has SCHEDULED UPDATES! This is a great move, as scheduled updates are my favorite feature of HootSuite (and desktop TweetDeck). So, YAY! Also worth nothing: The announcement that their apps were updated today was the first time TweetDeck has updated its Twitter account since August 2.
