I've felt quite left out over the last few months because my Technorati Watchlist for my Link Cosmos just didn't want to work, but today David Sifry reports good news. He "just completed a massive re-engineering of the Technorati backend, which should have a bunch of speed improvements and bug fixes." And the waters parted, the sun shone down, and suddenly I've joined the Technorati community! Thanks, Dave!

I'm trying to get back into the blogging spirit, so why not do it with something fun. My cousin Susan sends along the following:

Inside the Actors Studio

"Sunday, February 9, 7:00 p.m. CST, Bravo TV

In anticipation of the landmark 300th episode of The Simpsons, James Lipton sat down with the series' accomplished ensemble to meet the actors behind the voices in order to discover how they have managed to create such a wealth of believable and beloved characters."

Sorry, but that link above is as close as I can get you to the episode information because the site is done as a separate browser window, with all of the content done in Flash. I really hate that. Personally, I'd love to see Matt Groening do a follow-up episode where James Lipton interviews the characters themselves, a "very special episode" like the Behind the Laughter one.

Of course, I also think Harry Shearer should ask James Lipton why they couldn't spell his name correctly ("Harry Sherer") in the write-up.

Addendum: Don't you wish there was a little button next to this post (either on the web, in your aggregator, or as a bookmarklet) that would let you click on it to automatically add this show to your Tivo or ReplayTV? How hard can this be? After all, SonicBlue has even given my ReplayTVs their own web site, although mine still dial in rather than accessing it in real-time over the web. SonicBlue, come through!
