Time Warner Cable and Cox in San Diego have agreed to launch DogTV, a new network targeting dogs.
"DogTV took great care to select the right visuals – the color palettes, camera angles, and transitions that appeal the most to dogs," the network said.
Four years of research have gone into the project.

The Five Percent Nation of Milton Bradley
A man and a woman marry and produce identical twin sons. Said man and woman then divorce and re-marry each other's identical twin siblings, so that the identical twin sons' stepparents are identical twins of their parents. Surely this has happened once in history, no?
The identical twin sons then choose to live with different biological parents, forming two identical families.
"Is he multiplying binomials? He's six!"
"He doesn't know what he's doing…"
When we dine out together, B pacifies her son in peculiar ways.
"He can do sudoku?"
"It's kids' sudoku."
"That exists?"
Every time an online survey ($5 off at chain restaurants!) asks for my age range, I instinctively select "18 to 24," before slinking the dot down to "25 to 34." It's like I'm an animated GIF.
So what we go out
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
While still in my 20s, I can no longer groove to songs about youthful abandon without feeling like a cool dad.
This is my impression of all my Tumblr followers: "Odd Future, Taylor Gang, swag, weed, ball caps, sneakers."
Rory: What is Taylor Gang?
Jon: Heh. I asked myself that too. It's collectively Wiz Khalifa's record label, his crew, his fans, and a lifestyle.
Rory: A lifestyle?
Jon: Like Amish or straight edge – Taylor Gang.
it's being free, being yourself, and just having fun, enjoying life, getting high, getting drunk, and getting money
Rory: He branded that as a lifestyle?
You ever think about mussels, and what odd living organisms they are? Mussels and clams.
Imagine being reincarnated as a mussel. Imagine Bam Margera's soul trapped in the body of a mussel.

Gettin' old ain't for pussies

Iwan Rheon and Antonia Thomas will not return for the fourth series of Misfits, leaving only two (out of five) original characters.
In its fourth series, Being Human [UK] is down to one (out of five).
I don't know the ins and outs of British television production, but it seems like actors are unrestricted free agents. It seems like actors run shows, not writers.
Meanwhile in America: "Breakout Star of 2011" Shailene Woodley is stuck doing 26 more episodes (at least) of The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Idea: An amusement park composed of rides and attractions that other amusement parks discontinued – the E.T. and Back to the Future rides at Universal Studios, Mulholland Madness at California Adventure…

Banquet
Trader Joe's Falafel Chips
"A blend of corn and garbanzo beans with a special blend of herbs, spices and a whole bunch of veggies."
Fal-awful chips. They literally taste like lightly seasoned cardboard. Boulder Canyon's Hummus Chips are streets ahead.
Trader Joe's Mini Cheddar Chipotle Potato Bites
"Little potatoes, cut in half and filled with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives, with the smoky kick of chipotle."
Satisfactory.
Trader Joe's Kettle Corn Cookies
"A crispy butter cookie with sweet and salty kettle corn pieces."
I wish the butter cookie base was softer so that the kettle corn pieces popped more. As is, the cookies are pleasantly one-dimensional.
Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate filled with Speculoos Cookie Spread
Bland Reese's Miniatures. The dark chocolate overwhelms the flavour of the cookie butter filling.
Stacy's Limited Edition 'Simply Cocoa' Pita Chips
"We knead semisweet chocolate and pure vanilla extract into our pita dough, twice-bake it into perfectly crispy chips, then sprinkle them with sugar."
Delicious.
Yellow Fever

Somewhere in Spain, Andy Rautins is dying on the inside.
Rory: Landry Fields = Shawn Michaels, Andy Rautins = Marty Jannetty.
Jon: So Jeremy Lin = Triple H?
Rory: The Cerebral Assassin.
Jon: D'Antoniration X.
Leo Rautins on Lin "All he can do is pick and roll" [source]
#gisel'd
If nothing else, playing Lin will help the Knix gain home court advantage on the road because of innate Asian tribalism. You heard it last night in D.C., and I bet you'll hear it next Tuesday in Toronto.
I've only ever been hired by Asian people.
