BBC drive to make internet available on your TV set
The BBC announced plans yesterday to provide the internet on televisions sets.

TOM CASIELLO: Gluttons for Punishment, Springing Eternal
"Michael Logan recently talked about hope in the latest issue of TV Guide, and in spite of the low ratings, budgets being slashed, vets being fired - the execs in charge remain positive. Naivete?

LYNN LICCARDO: Shooting at a Moving Target
"I've written before about the relationship between daytime and primetime soaps, and am contributing an essay on the topic to the book Sam Ford is co-editing.

CADY MCCLAIN: Writers write
"The one thing I am sure of is that despite my desperate need for vacuous entertainment and hygiene, my piss ant behavior and sullen insistence on personal time, I do love to write. God, I just love it. Whether it’s an ego trip or a masochistic indulgence or some strange combo of the two, or perhaps something less vain and more charitable or spiritual, I don’t know. I just don’t know. I DO know- writing makes me enjoy my life more."
