Trending Topics on MaximumPC
5Just a quick heads up in case you missed it, but I’ve been writing a new column over at MaximumPC called Trending Topics. It’s based around my thoughts (however random) on the social media and Web 2.0 world, and it’s published every other week. Here are my first three posts:
Trending Topics: The New Internet Chat
Trending Topics: Single-Serving Websites
Trending Topics: Plan Your Travels Like a Geek
As if Anthony Bourdain could get any more animated!
5If The Venture Brothers and Aqua Teen Hunger Force came together and had a little lovechild with No Reservations, I have a feeling it would look like the newest project from Anthony Bourdain and The Travel Channel. The aptly-named Anthony Bourdain’s Alternate Universe is a completely animated series that delves deep into the twisted mind of the celebrity chef (and it looks like there will be more than a few Rachel Ray jokes).
Anthony is one of my idols, not only because of his on-air persona, but because it’s so obvious that he loves what he does (even when he’s frustrated during a shoot, which I find especially hilarious and relatable). In the spirit of Tony, I’ll say that I’m looking forward to his new project almost as much as he looks forward to a new, exotic pork dish.

We’re on the Internet!
16Revision3 definitely represented big time in this video, can you spot them all? Thanks for the mention, brentalfloss!
On a totally unrelated note, I forgot to tell you guys that I blacked out during District 9. As a fear response! It’s not even scary! Can you imagine what would happen to me in a real horror movie? Anyhow, I’m a weirdo, and I was fine after 5 minutes or so. Go watch it if you haven’t already, it’s passing out good!
