Unfortunately, the current season will be the last one. But there are plenty of places to get the back episodes.

And Arrested Development really is a must see for ANYONE.

It's really neat, letting you move blocks--my word for what LJ calls "modules"--around with arrows.

My LJ friends page was one of the few "HTML" sites I regularly visit (as opposed to subscribing to feeds), along with Jason Kottke's, Darren Barefoot's and Andy Baio's sites, as I mention in my participation in the meme (which now that you've tagged people, really *does* die with me), but now I'll think I'll use the portal.
