It's interesting to see how the education system is trying to cope with advances in web technology & culture, I know the journalism program here at Concordia is trying to incorporate more of a focus on online content, but that graduates are still struggling to adapt without taking a lot on themselves (which is the ultimate point of education, I guess). Jamie: Well-played... Well-played. Although it was missing a reference to Cuddy's rack and/or backside... BTW, did you see the <a href="http://failblog.org/2009/12/09/closed-caption-fail-2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">House cameo on the Fail blog</a>? Classic! Oh, and you aren't selling out by studying screenwriting. Whatever you end up doing, being able to craft what is essentially a brief/blueprint/functional requirements document adeptly will ALWAYS serve you well. Whether you're making movies, viral spots or taking over the world.

Chase: Well I’d say TB, but Cuddy’s already ruled it out. House: And you’d be just as big an idiop as her. although I do feel like i'm vaguely selling out becoming a screenwriter. thoughts? :) House: Cuddy thinks it’s idiopathic. “Cuddy” and “idiop” being the relevant parts of that sentence.
