Look at Banner!
Apparently, “Michael Cera has buckled and agreed to board the Arrested Development movie“
As someone who has just recently finished my full second viewing of the series (and have elevated it to the pantheon of greatest-shows-of-all-time conversations, I can only add….w00t!

Nina Paley’s brilliant — and troubled — animated short “Sita Sings the Blues” will air on PBS. This is the critically acclaimed short film that blends Hindu traditional stories with jazz-era music, whose distribution has been stopped by an unforeseen copyright claim on some of the 1920s music that is integral to the film.

“The Dude” Art Print by Ben Swift (Second Edition)
After much debate, Ben Swift has indeed decided to release a second edition of his popular Lebowski-themed art print, “The Dude”. It’s a 12? x 16? screenprint, has an edition of 180, and costs $20. These will likely go pretty fast, so grab one now in the Gigposters.com Classifieds.
EDIT: Not sure why this disappeared for awhile, but it’s back.
Irony Alert: Unabomber’s Stuff to Be Auctioned Off Online [The Crazies]
A San Francisco court ruled that the writings and possessions of Theodore Kaczynski, the famed Unabomber and enemy of internets everywhere, will be sold online to pay restitution to his victims’ families. Ah, the irony.
Kaczynski had appealed from jail that sale of his writings constitutes a violation of his freedom of expression, and while denying the appeal, a San Francisco Circuit Court also allowed that the University of Michigan receive copies of his work, in accordance with the crazy scary man’s wishes. Let’s hope that the method of sale really sticks in the craw of the anti-technology crusader, whose bombs killed 3 and wounded 23 over a period of 18 years. Hell, I’m even writing about the sale of his stuff on the internet, on the internet, from a source I found on the internet. It’s a meta-feast of technology up in here. [San Francisco Chronicle]
