This Week in Awesome (11/20/10)

It's possible that at some point I may get back to posting these on Saturdays, but I'm not making any promises...

The web site Bnter (don't look at me, I don't know how it's supposed to be pronounced) takes text-message conversation submissions and turns the best ones into comics. (UrbanDaddy)

If Jeff Goldblum and Biz Markie doing a duet of Biz's minor classic "Just A Friend" on Jimmy Fallon doesn't qualify as awesome, then I'll just have to stop doing this. (New York Times Artsbeat blog via Videogum)

The Daily Show did an excellent piece on John McCain's hypocrisy regarding the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, and in the process also did a clever mock version of an It Gets Better video. Just watch it and everything will make sense. Well, not everything. (Splitsider)

This week's 30 Rock featured a web site called Pronouncify that turned typed text into spoken words. It looks like NBC went ahead and made it into a real thing, but it still exists within the 30 Rock site, and they want you to sign up for some reason, so proceed with caution.
