The Office at WWDC

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC, kicked off this morning with a keynote address led by Steve Jobs (pictured here), and he used a slide of The Office in his presentation!

Further proof that Apple loves The Office. And vice versa.

Read more about the WWDC keynote address here.

Thanks to John D’Arc for the tip, and to Peter Rojas at Engadget for allowing me to post this photo!

Angela in Cat Fancy Magazine

The September issue of Cat Fancy magazine (the one with “The Mystery of the Manx” on the cover) features Angela Kinsey and her two adorable kitties, Lucy and Otter. (Lucy’s pictured here.)

An excerpt:

Almost everyone on the set at “The Office” has a pet. Fischer has a dog and a cat. Brian Baumgartner (who plays Kevin) has a dog and has brought him to the set. Oscar Nunez (who plays Oscar) has a dog. Wilson has a dog. Smith has a cat. Krasinski had a cat when he lived in New York. “We’re a pet-friendly set,” Kinsey says.

Aside from the print article, check out seven video clips made during the interview:

  1. Angela’s Pre-Office Days
  2. Fun with HR
  3. Angela Goes to The Office
  4. Bring Your Pet to Work Day
  5. CAT FANCY in The Office
  6. Angela’s Comments on CAT FANCY
  7. A Feline Photo Shoot

The CF interviewers aren’t especially lively, but Angela is vivacious as ever. :)

P.S. I had trouble viewing these videos on my Mac, but if you follow these steps, you should be good to go.

Okay, just when you thought you couldn’t waste any more time here at OfficeTally, I’ve got more for ya …

As you were watching the webisodes over at NBC.com, did you happen to notice that The Office site itself has been updated? — fancy new banner images, updated bios (now of the whole cast!), an Adventures with Dwight bobblehead gallery and sweepstakes (coming soon) and photos.

Oh my, lots and lots of photos. Like, 175 photos. I don’t know when they were posted, but I had never seen them before this morning. Photos of deleted scenes from Boys and Girls, Drug Testing, Email Surveillance, The Fire, Michael’s Birthday, and around the office just goofing off.

Thanks to Jill C for the tip!

Head on over to NBC.com now, or check out a few of my favorites (click any photo to get to the full-sized version):
