G'bye Conan
2009-02-22
So, I'm sure a few of you already knew that Conan is ending Late Night with Conan O'Brien after 16 Seasons (anno 1993). Before everything became the internet, I was exposed to the show due to the attempts of NBC to get hold of the European market.
Yesterday, Seinfeld was on the show. I've seen him on several occasions in the past, and it seems to me that he doesn't get a lot of sincere laughs over in the US anymore. I assume it's either the "his highness"-effect that stenches out the conation of the audience to laugh, or maybe his style is simply un-pop, already. I also love Family Guy, but they make use of every opportunity to diss him. And I assume that comedy has to be overly edgy there. I assume over here, too. But I just cannot get enough of the mild and benign ways of Jerry Seinfeld.
Back to Conan. So he's taking over Leno's Tonight show and Jimmy Fallon (WTF!?) is taking over the Late Night. Nothing will be the same again.
I'm looking forward to the last episode.

In regard to my last post, I've become very sensitive to the data volume of day-to-day tasks I took for granted. A friend of mine recommended Firebug for monitoring data volumes in Firefox.
I have to say. This tool with its net monitor is just excellent!
Now - I do not use RSS for regular news. Keeping up with German news by just going through the headlines, without disturbing my RSS subscription list, seemed quite costly to me. Now I have proof. tagesschau.de momentarily consumes 439 KB of my valuable airtime. spiegel.de sums up to 486 KB, right now. This is not acceptable. I am very sorry, I cannot have this. news.google.de is 88 KB at this moment.
Whatever you think of StoryRank: For the front page experience and under my current circumstances, the typical minimalistic approach of Google is just right for me. Just make a contentual comparison of the front pages of all three mentioned above.
