Pacman Frog catches some touch screen bugs and then... well, see it for yourself:

Some people just don’t realize how damaging some actions can be to a career, a reputation, and a personal brand within their industry. These five simple actions are why you aren’t getting ahead: Being late or a no-show: Don’t make someone else wait to do their job because you haven’t done yours.  Not returning calls or email: When you ignore people or wait to reply, you are saying “your business is just not that important to me.”  Doing just enough to get by: As my father used to say “If you are going to do a half-ass job, don’t do it at all.”  Complaining or assigning blame: Blah, blah, blah. No one cares. Really. They don’t care. You are wasting my time, or someone else's, even yours.  Never saying thank you: This simplest of actions is the one most often forgotten. Appreciation is the most powerful tool you have. Use it.  Any one of the above actions can be detrimental to your career and can cause a client or customer to move on to someone ...

Don’t fall down on the easy stuff. If you’re writing a novel and sending your manuscript to a publisher, it has to be in perfect shape. Make sure that you can tick every box before you consider your novel completely finished. Technical Have you run a spell check on your entire manuscript? (If you have problems with the passive voice, run a grammar check too.) Have you made sure that character names and place names are consistent throughout? Is the chronology correct? Language Is the language in your novel clear and understandable? Did you make sure that the text isn’t overly complex, verbose, patronising or obscure?

In fact, is every one of them necessary?

The ensemble cast is terrific, including Bryan Greenberg, Victor Rasuk, Lake Bell, Shannyn Sossamon, Kid Cudi, and the always-hilarious Luis Guzmán. Some are layabouts, some are craven with ambition, some are artistes, some are thugs-and some are all of the above. Much like Entourage does, How to Make It in America follows a group of friends and acquaintances through their daily lives, and sometimes feels as aimless as real life really is. But the writing and direction and acting are all first-rate, and anyone who's ever visited New York, or lived there, or dreamed of living there, will be captivated by the realism. The reality of New York is both romanticized and taken at harsh face value--such a vivid portrait, in fact, that the city f...

Big Spoiler Alert! (Biggest Gossip Girl Spoiler Ever) "Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandaleous lives of Manhattan's elite." "You know you love me, XOXO" - Gossip girl The biggest shocker on last Monday's (January 30th, 2012) 100th episode of Gossip Girl (5x13) wasn't Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) royal wedding dress, Serena Van der Woodsen's (Blake Lively) renewed love for Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) or Blair's totally mortifying moment at the altar with Prince Louis.
