I Stumped Steve Hildebrand.
Well, he didn’t answer my question, anyways. Steve was the Deputy National Campaign Manager for now President Barack Obama.

(Thanks, College Democrats, for sucking ass at things like PRESS RELEASES)
Regardless, it was a really cool event.

Artist Bio
The Lonely Island is a group of filmmakers founded in 2001 by Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg (aka The Dudes). The group was originally from Los Angeles, California but now resides in New York. The Lonely Island has created numerous comedic films, shorts, parody songs, and music videos. They have written shorts for the popular television show Saturday Night Live, most notably “Lazy Sunday,” “Dick in a Box,” and “Jizz In My Pants.” They have made three full-length television pilots, all of which were rejected. The group operates a web site under the same name that showcases their collaborations. The site also includes a blog from second-tier member Chester Tam, often referred to as Chez (pronounced CHAY). The blog, titled Chez Chat, gives humorous summaries of the site’s updates.
The three core members currently work together as writers on Saturday Night Live. Recently, principal photography has wrapped on the Lonely Island’s first feature film, Hot Rod.
Songbird: Mozilla’s Open-Source iTunes Killer
Well, I was an iTunes lovin’ mofo ever since I got my new Macbook Pro. Key word there, “was” because after my lovely student worker Bob informed me of Mozilla’s new open-source music program, appropriately called Songbird I’m afraid I’ve been permanently swayed. Read the rest of this entry »
MTV2’s New Sunday Night = Badassery
So I plop down on my comfortable bed around, well, 10 pm this past Sunday Night. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into some Penthouse Forum letter…
Anyways, MTV2 has a completely new lineup for Sunday. I think they might be trying to compete with Adult Swim and let me tell you, at least for me, it worked!
