Talking Funny
HBO had Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis C.K. sit down for a fireside chat on comedy.There’s a voyeuristic quality to this that we don’t normally see in comedy shows. I could watch four living legends, sit around talking about comedy and analyzing each other’s work for hours.
Our uptight society
In talking about how comedy has changed since he entered the game in the 60′s, Bob Newhart points out that the obvious change is that what was considered raunchy then, would be quite tame by today’s standards. But the bigger issue he focuses on is the hypersensitivity of people today.
“The problem is that we live in an uptight country. Why don’t we just laugh at ourselves. We are funny. Gays are funny. Straights are funny. Women are funny. Men are funny. We are all funny, and we al do funny things. Let’s just laugh about it.”

Facto!
Cool new site by Kyle Bragger called Facto where people can share facts about themselves with friends and the rest of the Internets. More impressively is that Bragger conceived and developed the site in just 24 hours.
