Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

Were you not able to make the trip to Chicago and be one of the lucky 350 in the audience at today's Second City 50th Anniversary Celebration 'Colbert Report' panel featuring Peter Grosz, Peter Gwinn, Allison Silverman, Tom Purcell and Stephen Colbert?

'Colbert Report' fan site No Fact Zone had someone there. And they want to tell you all about it!

For all UK Sky friends, Eddie's 'Dressed To Kill' is on More4 (channel 138) TONIGHT at 11:15.

Late notice but if you can catch it it'd be a good way to spend Friday night....if you have no social life like me anyway. Not sure if it'll be on 4OD though.

Enjoy!

Has anyone heard what the plan for Colbert in Vancouver is going to be? Will there be tapings? When? And more importantly, how do we get tickets? :)

Unless I run into some financial luck, I probably wont be going to this show. So, if you're going, please consider sharing your experience. thanks.

TCR is going to be screening on ABC2 next year on a daily basis, so no mutilated overseas versions :D Link to the PDF, with a picture of him on the last page.

Blurb:
"In the Emmy-nominated US comedy program The Colbert Report, one of the ‘political humorists’ from the successful satirical news program The Evening Show with Jon Stewart brings us his own half-hour report, this time satirising personality-driven pundit programs."

Ah yes, I've always been such a big fan of The Evening Show.

Just FYI, if you have a Netflix membership, a bunch of Eddie's older standup videos now seem to be available for online viewing. Looks like a great way to indoctrinate your poor unfortunate friends who have not yet realized how cool Eddie is. :)

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
