Excerpts From the Diary of an App Store Reviewer (Daring Fireball)
Hilarious fictional explanation of the nonsense going on behind the scenes with all these iPhone app approval problems. Apple is getting a right nice black eye over this, not that anybody outside the tech sector has ever heard of this.

"American Idol" fans scream as Kris Allen visits Disney's Hollywood Studios (Jim Hill Media)
Kris Allen makes a contractually obligated appearance at the new American Idol attraction at DisneyWorld.

Michael Madsen Discusses Voicing Kilowog in "Green Lantern: First Flight" (Toon Zone)
"Everyone forgets that I was the father in Free Willy - they only like to remember that I cut off a policeman's ear in Reservoir Dogs."

80's Pop Show! (Autumn Society)
An art show in Philly with some very cool 1980s pop culture works. I probably should have gone to this.

Pokemon cards at Burger King again (Club BK)
I love that Burger King is again giving out actual Pokemon TCG cards in their kids meals! They did this last year and Clark and I would stop by several times a week on the way home from his day with the grandparents.

So, Which E3 Announcements Generated The Most Buzz? (Kotaku)
An internet scanning service counted up all the times E3 topics appeared on weblogs, Twitter, etc, and came up with a nice list of what games generated the most buzz. Microsoft's Project Natal came waaaaay in first, and the two stupid DJ games forever locked in combat came in waaaay at the bottom. If I were in charge of any of the following properties right now, based on this list I would be very concerned: Perfect Dark, Scribblenauts, Ghostbusters, Afrika, and Soul Calibur.

I'm figuring on writing up some general E3 thoughts soon enough. One thing everybody agrees on is that this year's show was far and away better than last year.
