The Weekly for 10/6

» Daily Show coverage of the Foley scandal. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

» All Women Team Takes Yahoo Hack Day Top Prize. "The winning project, called Blogging In Motion, combined a camera, a handbag, a pedometer and the Flickr API to create a device that takes a picture after every few steps and then automatically blogs those pictures." Team features past Project Runway contestant Diana Eng, who is one of my artsy geek girl heroines.

» Theater Owner Shuts Down Theater for Lack of Good Movies To Show. I think it would be really awesome if he started a trend with this. Not that Hollywood would feel much hurt with the cushion of all the huge conglomerate multiplexes still up and running. But it would still be awesome to see it happen.

» Lucasfilm Leaves Movie Business. In related news, George Lucas isn't making movies anymore. Reasoning? "We've moved away from the feature film thing because it's too expensive and it's too risky." It's not quite as risky if you make movies that don't completely suck. But the thing is, I know people, myself included, who saw Episode III more than once in the theater, even though we knew from the start the movie sucked. If you can't even make money with audiences like that, I guess it's time to pack it up. (Hat tip: Slashdot.)

» Hollywood Is Calling. If for some reason you find yourself needing to send me a token of your appreciation, I humbly request that you NOT arrange a telephone call to me from Saved by the Bell's Mr. Belding. A card is just fine.

» Baby Rock Records. Lullabye renditions of the Pixies, Tool, and Queens of the Stone Age. Sweet. But where's the Ramones? Those songs would make great lullabyes. And Elizabeth already has the proper threads. (Hat tip: ExplodingBoy).
