the end that is the beginning

Feb 20 was the last episode of Late Night with Conan. It was a great experience watching him, a truly outstanding person. I watched in from the internet with a small screen and a dark NBC website background. The frame became so important with his figure moving across, in and out of the traditional TV frame. That's what Conan's specialty, I believe. He knew what the TV "frame" was, an inherently 2D phenomena, and turned it into a 1D entity and crawling on it like MC Eshcer's ant. I like Will Ferrel, crazy. White stripe, always theatrical, beautiful. Andy Richter, not sure about him, but funny. And finally, I love the ending tributes he gave too. Good stuff.
