<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/05/facebook-rogue/">Facebook&#8217;s Gone Rogue; It&#8217;s Time For An Open Alternative</a> &#8211; I like this idea more than the &#8220;OMG EVERYONE QUIT FACEBOOK!!!&#8221; idea. Maybe it&#8217;s not even an idea, because I&#8217;m sure the market will come up with an alternative soon enough. Right? Capitalism don&#8217;t fail me now! Even if you&#8217;ve already failed most of us recently&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://nymag.com/news/sports/lebron/">Hey LeBron, Welcome to New York</a> &#8211; Will Leitch and Ira Boudway lay out the reasons why the only choice for the best basketball player on the planet is to come to New York.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.walkoffwalk.com/2010/05/baseball-scouts-like-big-butts.html">Baseball Scouts Like Big Butts And They Cannot Lie</a> &#8211; Maybe the Mets should hire Sir-Mix-A-Lot as a scout? And I wonder what Oliver Perez&#8217;s butt is on a scale of 1-10. I need Buck Showalter to help me out here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/print/magazine/content/10_19/b4177071221162.htm">Your Office Chair Is Killing You</a> &#8211; Yeah, I&#8217;m gonna go play golf now instead of staying on my laptop while watching the Mets game&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/david-ortiz-getting-paid-13-million-by-the-way,17434/">David Ortiz Is Getting Paid $13 Million, By The Way</a> &#8211; I laughed at this until I realized Oliver Perez is getting paid $12 million.</p>
<p><a href="http://mymetsjournal.blogspot.com/">My NY Mets Journal Blog</a> &#8211; An awesome dude who should be employed by a newspaper creates a drawing for each and every Mets game. They are really, really great.</p>

Weâ€™ll be covering the waterfront through a variety of features looking at reality shows, our favorite one-season wonders and, of course, our picks for the decadeâ€™s best shows.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because I&#8217;m sure the <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-av-clubs-best-of-the-decade-features-start-nex,35110/">A.V. Club</a> will cover it all much better than I ever could.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Television (starts Tuesday, November 10<sup>th</sup>) </strong></p>
<p>Weâ€™ll be covering the waterfront through a variety of features looking at reality shows, our favorite one-season wonders and, of course, our picks for the decadeâ€™s best shows.</p>
<p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Music (starts Tuesday, November 17<sup>th</sup>)</strong></p>
<p>Just like above, only with music.</p>
<p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Books (Monday, November 23<sup>rd</sup>)</strong></p>
<p>The must reads of the â€™00s.</p>
<p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Comics (Tuesday, November 24<sup>th</sup>)</strong></p>
<p>The best from the first decade when everyone seemed to acknowledge comics arenâ€™t just for kids anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Games (Wednesday, November 25<sup>th</sup>)</strong></p>
<p>The games we couldnâ€™t put down this decade.</p>
<p><strong>Best Of The Decade: Film (starts Tuesday, December 1<sup>st</sup>)</strong></p>
<p>From the best bad movies of the decade to the 50 best films of the â€™00s, this weekâ€™s all about film.</p></blockquote>
<p>TELL ME WHAT TO LIKE, A.V. CLUB! No really, I&#8217;m pretty hyped to see what brilliance they think I missed. They are usually right on the ball with just about everything &#8212; except gaming. Their music list will be better than Pitchfork&#8217;s, at the very least. Although, I have to say the books list is what interests me most, considering the only books I&#8217;ve read from this decade are non-fiction &#8212; a list that includes such universally-praised classics as the Bill Simmons&#8217; penned <em>Now I Can Die In Peace</em> and Tony Kornheiser&#8217;s <em>I&#8217;m Back For More Cash</em>. I obviously need some culture.</p>
