Thanks for the post. I just got into the show recently and found a bunch of great stuff online about it. Here’s an interesting interview with Stanley:

Comment on Doing Credits Right by kip

I don’t really mind credits that list what everyone did, I think if I had worked on the game I would want to be listed along with what I worked on. Although I don’t think I’d like it so much if the credits were set to rap music…

For a different take on credits, Okami’s credits are very artistically done. Actually, the whole game is very artistically done and I’m thinking about trying the Wii version. (I saw those credits linked from an article about how the original developers’ names were cut from the Wii version’s credits.)

Those are great ideas. I thought about doing something different for category archive pages, but I didn’t spend much time on it. WordPress has some funny restrictions on where you can obtain the appropriate links to category information, and I’m not sure I have access to it at the time the page header is created. I’ll definitely look into it though.

Two things I did with tag-specific feeds on my site that you might want to consider: 1) When the user is viewing posts for a specific category, add another link tag in the header of the page, which points to the feed for that category. 2) When a user is viewing a permalink to a single post, add link tags in the page header pointing to the category feed for each of the categories the post is filed under.

What are we going to talk about on the Born Geek Office podcast now? You exhausted the topics…

Right after I wrote this post, I saw the rumors about the spin-off. From what little I can find about it, the spin-off hasn’t fully been fleshed out (i.e. they don’t know what they are going to do). Some people suggest it will be about Dwight, others suggest ‘the accountants’ (Kevin, Oscar, and Angela), while others say it might be about the warehouse guys.

I seriously hope it doesn’t suck and ruin The Office.

Have you heard NBC has greenlighted a spinoff of The Office, to premier after the Super Bowl?

I’d personally like to see them just let Jim and Pam be happy and progress like a normal relationship, not some contrived “Ross and Rachel” typical sitcom plot that drags on for ages. I’m not sure where they’re heading with Ryan, I could see so many things happening to his character. If he does try to mess with Jim I could see it backfiring too. I’d like to see Karen come back. She starred in some show on Fox this year that tanked, so I guess she’s available again.

I’ve also noticed a theme in several recent episodes of Jim getting more like Michael whenever he gets responsibility of the office. Like when he tried to merge all the birthday parties into one, and last week when his plan to avoid working on Saturday backfired. I could see that being the conflict in Jim and Pam’s relationship (whether they pursue bigger dreams or just spend their lives working for Dunder Mifflin).
