One ingredient that never, ever came to mind was water. Water has no flavor to…
Celebrity Bill Murray Is Ready To See You Now He is one of the greatest comic actors alive. A man who's navigated his career with a peerless instinct for quality and self-respect. The man behind movies—from Caddyshack to Stripes , from Rushmore to Lost in Translation —that seem to have defined a…
I stumbled on this unsettling story of an obscure Pokémon bootleg/art-hack that I thought might be neat to share on here. I think this originated from 4chan, so I’ve no idea if this hack actually exists. It probably doesn’t, but it’s still a great concept/tale!:
I’m what you could call a collector…
A few seconds pass. Hi, Sam, James Franco says. I feel the same low-grade thrill of intimacy I felt at our first meeting in the NYU bathroomthis time spiced with a new kind of danger. I think we’re not supposed to be talking, I say. Why, what happened? he says. Did somebody call you? Did you…
Entertainment I Was with Coco A year ago, Todd Levin got the job of a lifetime—writing for 'The Tonight Show.' Nine months later, he was packing his desk.

This morning, I sat down with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay , and Eva Mendes to discuss their new film "The Other Guys," and while I'm still under embargo about that movie, I can share what happened at the very end of my interview with McKay. I mentioned to him that I was doing this series on this site…
His hands trembled as he split the box cardboard in the dim light from the tiny barred window above his head. He had already ravenously eaten the food that was left in the Red Cross Package and now found the strength to consider another escape attempt. A previous attempt had led to failure and…

Terry Kniess has prepared. Over the back of the living-room couch, he’s draped the yellow T-shirts he and his wife, Linda, wore that fateful morning on The Price Is Right. Hers has a photograph of their beloved departed Maltese on the front: “This is my…
UPDATED: 9:34 p.m. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- During a rally for Miami Heat fans Friday night, Chris Bosh said he had been talking with new teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade about the moment for months. It was a slip, which some, including Bosh himself, caught. The premise that the trio had been…
The semiology and phenomenology of hashtaggery intrigues me. From what I understand, it all began very simply: on Twitter, hashtags—those little checkerboard marks that look like this #—were used to mark phrases or names, in order to make it easier to search for them among the zillions and zillions…

Memorial Day kicked off the unofficial start of grilling season here in the US of A, which no doubt means many of you are going to be pattying up some hamburgers over the next few months. A good burger is a thing to take pride in and a little extra attention will help get it just right. (photo…
I remember the view from a grave. Cartoon stars spiraled in front of my eyes when I hit the damp soil at the bottom. Up there on the faraway earth, past six feet of square muddy wall, a man and a boy stared down at me—my brothers, Gary and David, both laughing. Until I slipped and fell into the…
Another Nail in the Pageview Coffin This weekend, msnbc.com launched a sweeping redesign of the most important part of their site: the story page. The result is something unlike anything any other major news site is offering and is a bold step in a direction no competitor has gone down (yet): the…
[This essay was given as a talk at SUNY Buffalo, 28 January 2010, the day after Howard Zinn’s death.

The first thing you notice is that the iPhone 4 feels smaller in hand — the decrease in width, even more so than thickness, is quite noticeable. It feels tight. Then you turn it on, and you see the screen. Apple seems very confident about the precise size and dimensions of the iPhone display: 3.5…
