Michael Scott and David Brent: best friends forever

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

A recent Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune included a short Q&A with Ricky Gervais, star and producer of the original UK version of “The Office,” as well as executive producer of the US version.

The final question of the article was:

What do you think David Brent [boss of the BBC’s “The Office,” played by Gervais] and Michael Scott would enjoy doing together?

Ricky responds:

Getting drunk and showing off. It would be like Bill and Ted or “Dumb and Dumber.”

Now wouldn’t that be a splendid episode! Maybe they would meet and become friends at some international paper convention …

P.S. This article is no longer available.

OfficeTally goes mobile!

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

Do the following two conditions apply to you?

  1. Own a Web-enabled cell phone or PDA
  2. Can’t bear to be without the latest OfficeTally news for a single minute

Then I’ve got a remedy for you.

Just point your mobile browser to http://www.officetally.com/mobile.htm — this is essentially the OfficeTally feed, but optimized for the small screen.

Mind you, I’ve only tested it with my Treo 650’s Blazer browser, so if you are of the mobile persuasion, please help me test it out, and post a comment if you run into any issues. Thanks!
