A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…

Aeropress “Ritual” (spec)

This is a short tribute to my Aeropress. Two years ago, one was given to me, and it changed everything.

For a little more than $20, this marvel of science will produce arguably the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made in your home. It makes no sense.

Here’s where to buy it: amzn.to/IiqlhO

Beautiful. And my feelings exactly.

I love my Aeropress.

This is the final episode of KoPoint Political Explainer, Season 1. This is a long show, and contains our show’s new Anthem. In this episode, we discuss the state of the GOP and the conservative movement in general, in the second Week of February, 2012. We also discuss what a convention is, and describe Libertarianism.

Finally got around to watching Drive tonight. 

Thoughts: 

  1. Albert Brooks is great in it. (Though I think the reason people talk about it so much is that it is an unusual role for him.)
  2. Some fun moments.
  3. Ryan Gosling’s character is so emotionally stunted that it’s hard to root for him, even if he is ostensibly the good guy.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable flick, but overrated.
