Vulture - New York Magazine »

New York Magazine’s new (pop) culture blog. If the quality and volume of their first full day is any indication, this will surely be a must-RSS for anyone into entertainment. Super design, too.

Looking back on our first day:
We cheered on A.O. Scott as he ripped Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Hunter a new one.
We watched a little HBO. And a little more.
We heard hipsters call Jonathan Lethem a racist.
We filmed Hot Chip rocking out at Webster Hall.
We read Chuck Palahniuk’s latest craziness.
We discovered that Pete Wentz loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
We saw Mike Daisey get wet and then get angry.
And we counted three up and two across, tapped a brick, and wound up on Diagon Alley.

I’ll probably write up a review of this in the next day or two, having spent the last day living in it, but Panic’s new web-coder app is slick and definitely the hottest thing on the Mac blog circuit today. Definitely worth a look.

It’s also fun to look at the beaming from two of its proud parents on their blogs:

• Steven Frank’s Blog Post »
• Cabel Sasser’s Blog Post »
• Coda (repeated from above) »

Disney Rumor du Jour »

Okay — I couldn’t resist posting a link to this. The latest in a long string of rumors on Disney buying land for a new theme park (and resort). Some tantalizing clues, but, as the article points out, this is just one in a long line of ’secret new theme park’ rumors.

Update The News-Leader has a follow-up story on Disney’s denials. It’s always interesting to see how much of a tumult rumors about well-known companies like Disney (or Apple or Sony, etc.) can cause. (Updated 4/29, 10 am Pacific.)
