The Comedians of Comedy are calling it quits with a final show July 26. The event, called Death to the Comedians of Comedy, happens in San Diego.
However, what this really means is good news for its members: “…the whole reason for doing the tour in the first place was to give all of us wider exposure. And it worked,” reads an explanatory COC MySpace blog entry.
The post also assures that none of the individual members will stop touring: “So think of this as the Comedians of Comedy tour splitting into four pieces, still wandering the countryside, just not as cramped when driving.”
Fair enough. Now dry those tears and jot down these facts:

Alonso Alvarez Barreda was born in Mexico City in 1984. He met Alejandro Monteverde, who was still in film school, and since then Alejandro became his friend and mentor. Alonso wrote, produced and directed his first short film, called El Algodonero. His second short film, Historia de un Letrero, was named best short film in the Festival Internacional de Cine en Corto and also won the Hispanoamerican jury award in the Short Shorts Film Festival in Mexico City. It has also been an official selection at the San Diego Latino Film Festival, Cine Festival in San Antonio, Texas, Short Shorts Film Festival Monterrey and Morelos, and in the Short Film Corner in Cannes.
Imagine not having to deal with the frustration of wiring components and simply send video images wirelessly. A new wireless HD video standard guarantees that major brands including Sony, Sharp, Hitachi, Samsung and Motorola will have interoperable wireless video streaming. The will allow consumer electronics companies to standardize their wireless HD spec and embed it in TVs, projectors and HD video sources. The result is a network of HD components, streaming uncompressed 1080p video not just through one room like competing UWB standards, but to and from any source to any TV in your entire home, with a range comparable to Wi-Fi.
Components will be paired through menu systems using a pass-key, like Bluetooth. A likely scenario would be streaming from a WHDI (Wireless High Definition Interface) cable box or Blu-ray player downstairs to 3 TVs throughout your house while still having room for HD gaming in the den.
The availability of high-definition wireless connections stands to eliminate the morass of cables, switches and other complexities traditionally needed to support the wide variety of devices consumers have and will continue to buy. With high-definition wireless links, media streaming and transmission from any source to any display or recorder is dramatically simplified by removing the need for a hard-wired connection. WirelessHD will provide a high-speed wireless digital interface that will enable customers to simply connect, play, transmit and port their HD content in a secure manner.
“Juiced” – Tommy (Denis Leary) and the men of 62 Truck debate the finer points of baseball, and well… juice. But really, it’s all about how the smaller things in life play right into the much bigger things. (Raw Language)
The rumor is that Apple is coming out with a MacBook Touch in October, which will be Apple’s answer to an iTablet. Here’s a description: “Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured multi-touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X.” It’s like a mash-up of every product in Apple’s current roster.
