Hey, it's Stephen Merchant, the co-producer? of the original (and personally, I think better) BBC version of The Office!

The celebrity is Stephen Merchant, writer / actor on Extras (and others). Best character on the show in my opinion.

If I remember correctly, Mike Relm opened for Blue Man Group when I took the family to see them on tour last year. He was interesting, but yeah, it would not be the same at all without the video, as it was pretty much all about the video.

I was curious as to what the best blog winners were and checked out PostSecrets. This being Father's Day the posts were (mostly) about fathers. I was struck by the overwhelming number of negative posts about people's fathers. Now I realize that many are probably not real, are made by (mostly) younger people, and they are pretty much just "witty" attempts to attract attention, but even in that context it's quite sad. I'm sure there are many bad fathers out there, but I am also sure that a good number of these "bad father" reflections are just whiny excuses for the failures many people become due to their own choices as to what they value in life. I could go on but I doubt it would be appreciated by those I am trying to communicate with here. Enough said, yet I'd like to add this. In many of the negative comments on father's I could see slightly similar traits of my own father. The difference is that I recognized those traits as what made me stronger in spite of the whiny culture I grew up in. Maybe I feel that way because my father was a good and decent man in spite of his human flaws, but also because I was open to seeing how often he was right even when a cry-baby culture said men like him were wrong.

Apologies if the following seems gratuitous...Will, from what I can tell based on actual useful content, Clicked has Postsecrets beat by a mile.

Like your contextual shots. I’ve been banging away all over the internet for years that news photos should step back and shoot a contextual shot when covering a news worthy person.

We see the closeups − fists with mikes, cameras, and all sorts of autographable material coming into the shot and portions of assistants, handlers, and sometimes cops trying to clear the way − but we don’t see what is really going on. The step back and see how it actually looks shots of a strange cluster of people moving along with the object of their interest.

Reminds me of a hive of bees with a mass of workers clustering around and tending the queen.

Wilma, you keep shooting them and I’ll keep clicking you.
