The Wall Street Journal Online website has a really interesting article entitled "Moguls of New Media," which talks about a number of the important new players in the online world, including the founders of BoingBoing, and many others. In addition to the story, there's a chart near the bottom of the page which lists a few movers and shakers in each category (such as podcasting, blogs, etc.). A very handy place to see all of these people at once...
Excerpt: "While online stardom can sometimes be fleeting, and some measures of audience size are subject to debate, a look at the rising stars in this world shows how the path to entertainment success is being redefined. Traditional media companies and marketers are already in pursuit of some of these new faces."

From Matt: The scriptwriters made quite a few changes from the book, but they were all for the best - and booklover though I am I have to admit that its better to see magic than to read about it.
From Mina: I adore this film. Monsieur Hulot’s very modern sister and brother-in-law don’t know what to do with Tati’s charmingly untidy and bungling protagonist, who inhabits a world where meaning is still more important than appearances.
From Carey: A must see Hayao Miyazaki’s anime is Laputa: Castle in the Sky, originally released in 1986. A fantasy film that explores the altruistic and compassionate nature of humans, aspects lost through repeated exposure to power, technology, and the complexities brought by the combination of the two.
