Andy Rooney: So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

10/03/2011 1:00 pm by Amy Corbett Storch

I have some fairly vivid memories of watching Andy Rooney’s 60 Minutes segment as a kid. My dad watched the show every week without fail, and my parents would call me when it was time for Andy’s vlog-before-vlogs-existed-like rant about…I dunno…soup? Pens? Teh YouTubes? I’d run into the living room and plop down on the [...]

So this weekend during a fit of insomnia, I created a Tumblr account and started posting. This was an error on my part. Not that there’s anything wrong with Tumblr! It’s a terribly clever concept, a place for links and pictures and short blog-lettes, the perfect place for the internet culture of non-existent attention spans [...]

04/30/2010 2:00 pm by BHJ
