You all know David Mamet, right? His credentials as a playwright, screenwriter, director and author are stunning enough all on their own, but now he's taking on the Web in a very interesting way. His play November opens on Broadway on Thursday, and for the duration of the running, Mamet will be blogging, in character, as the main character Charles H. P. Smith. In the play Smith is the current President, but he's about to lose a his re-election. I really like this idea, of the character in a play appearing online with posts that will add depth and nuance to the onstage performance. That a master of language like David Mamet is the man behind the man, well, that's just fantastic.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for every famous person with a computer, some time and a few things on their mind. Rosie O'Donnell? Courtney Love? Pat Sajack!!? You know it. And although Jeff Bridges' blog is definitely odd, I don't think it's quite in the same league of awfulness as the others. But then again, he's The Dude.

It's Macworld tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak of what might be unveiled. Pretty sweet looking, if you're into that kind of thing.

The photo above was taken by the shore in Guilford, CT. Back in SF it was about $25 for a pound and a half lobster. Round here, it's more like $7. We could probably find lobsters right now, but we're working hard to only buy food that is in season, or grown in a greenhouse. More than any produce, I'm really missing tomatoes. But such is life when you become a locavore.

And the answer to the question above is, obviously, nothing, except they're all in this post.
