Boing Boing TV’s Thanksgiving music vid will give you an early case of turkey coma. BBtv producer Russ Gooberman is the prime culprit. Um, is it me or does that hen have an adam’s apple?

Dead trees live in world of no dead treesCurrently, the top three bestselling titles for Amazon.com’s Kindle, Jeff Bezos’s tree-killer killer, are newspapers and magazines: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Time magazine. Despite the fear that newspapers and magazines are dying, they are the most popular purchase on the future’s book killer. These traditional publications are all available online, mostly for free. Kindle purchasers, in other words are spendthrift, hyperliterate gadget junkies who feel guilty about both the environment and the demise of old media. Who besides Craig Newmark is buying this thing? I can’t wait to I buy a $20 Kindle on eBay — a past reminder of a failed future.

Do you like Facebook's new interface?Don’t like what you see in your Facebook news feed? You can now vote on it. As we first reported two weeks ago, Facebook is letting users vote items up or down. The final interface, a choice of “thumbs-up” or “X” icons, differs from the “plus” and “minus” design Facebook had been testing internally. While a user’s voting will initially just change what he sees in his own news feed, Facebook could easily turn the vote results into a Digg-like discussion board. The new thumb icon just makes the potential rivalrly more obvious. After the jump, a full example from my own news feed.
