I’m looking forward to:

30 Rock (Season 4) October 15th NBC
American Dad (Season 5) September 27th FOX
Family Guy (Season 8 ) September 27th FOX
The Big Bang Theory (Season 3) September 21st CBS
The Office (Season 6) September 17th NBC
V (Season 1) November 3rd ABC

The Big Lebowski is the Coen Brothers at their comedic best, and John Turturro’s Jesus Quintana is one of many highlights.  In the video above, Turturro talks about how the character of “The Jesus” evolved.  A great example of the value of the informal environment in regards to collaborative work.  Just remember, “Nobody fucks with the Jesus.”

Got a chance to check out Jonathan Coulton’s set at PAX and it was amazing.  If you haven’t heard of JoCo, as he’s known in some circles, you may still be familiar with his work.  Coulton penned the cult classic gaming song Still Alive, as well as many other great nerd rock anthems.  Skullcrusher Mountain, an evil genius love-song, has recently be released on Rock Band with proceeds benefitting Child’s Play.  Code Monkey is an eeriely accurate portrayal of the life of the young developer, at least in this developer’s experience.  Hit the jump for a couple more videos.
