Alongside a few personal updates, I have for you an article on hipsters, a cute animation, and a happy little pop tune.

This week, you should check out a great food blog, Ellen’s needless apology to Apple, and some new music from the Gorillaz.

I figure some politics, gigantic iPhones, and a great song from an awesome Denver band will make for a great start to this week. This week just has to be better than the last!

It may be yet another week following far too short of a weekend, but there’s really no choice but to own up to the Mondays and dig in anyhow. I guess that’s part of why I write this on my blog — to get over my “Mondays” and start the week with something good for me to share, and hopefully, something good for you to read.

What’s on the plate for Monday, March 15? Whether it’s Manny Pacquiao, OK Go à la Rube Goldberg, or the always-reliable Spoon, here’s something worth checking out for your Monday morning.

A while ago, I attempted to write a series called “Must Read/See/Hear For Your Monday Morning,” and it didn’t last past a single entry. Part of the reason it didn’t do well is because I just put way too much content in the post, and if I’m going to do this more often, I should make it far easier to digest.

I have a running list of things that I really think people should read, see, or hear, and I always mean to post about some of the latest ones on my blog, but I often don’t get around to it.
