      Favorite Links of 2011
      Stellar - Fueled by Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, and Youtube, it's a super rich feed of only the awesome things you want to see from only the awesome people you want to seem them from.

      The New Pornographers music video for Moves - Written and directed by Tom Scharpling, it features pretty much every alt comedy star from New York City. And it rocks so hard.

      Superego - An improvised comedy podcast that is equal parts brilliant and insane. Guest stars include the likes of Patton Oswalt, Drew Carey, John Hodgman, and Rich Sommer.

      That Is All by John Hodgman

      Favorite Restaurant
      Redbones - It's barbecue in New England—go figure. And you'd be remiss if you didn't order whatever they have on cask, if only because it's beer how you're supposed to have beer.

      Favorite Game
      Crokinole - It's Canadian, but it's good!

      Favorite Mobile App
      Instacast on the iPhone

      Favorite Commuter Aid
      Hey Somerville Community Path, thanks for getting me to work everyday. I could do this job without you, but I'd rather not.

      Favorite Cause
      Graham Clark's Beard Paintings - It's not a single cause, but Vancouver comedian Graham Clark makes paintings with his beard. Yep, that's while it's on his face. He auctions the disturbingly good paintings off on eBay and gives all the proceeds to charity.
