NEW PROMO FOR SEASON 4 WITH NEW FOOTAGE!!! *Spoilers* Spoilers*

Thanks to Andy for sending in his cleverly edited video on the technology of “The Office”! Andy points out the strong ties between Apple and “The Office”: product placements on the show, Steve Jobs’ demonstration of iPhone video using an ep of “The Office,” and John Krasinski’s narration of Apple TV spots, to name a few.

Check out his video below:

Who’s on our couch this week?

Toby Flenderson
Sex: Male
Marital Status: Divorced
Children: 1 daughter (at least)
Position: HR Rep
Miscellaneous notes: Slept in his car post-divorce, studied PSYCHOLOGY in college (according to diploma seen on-screen)

Toby is the shy HR representative from corporate. He seems to feel detached from the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch employees. Part of this is likely attributed to Michael’s constant harassment and belittling. He seems well intentioned and approachable — Dwight felt comfortable asking about the female genitalia. While he was giving the sexual harrassment seminar (Season 2, Episode 2, “Sexual Harrassment”) everyone agreed with his comments and he seemed comfortable leading the presentation until Michael stepped in. He seems generally liked and respected by the others in the warehouse and office alike. We heard Darryl mention that he’s a cool guy and everyone in the office seems to treat him very fairly. In fact, despite limited interaction between Toby and other employees, they show more respect for him than for Michael.

E-mail me if you’re interested in writing for LITO! I’ll pass your names along Nothing is set in stone yet.

Check out the Dan In Real Life trailer here. Thanks to thndrjames for the tip! Steve’s new movie will be out in October 2007-I had no idea it was coming out that soon! I’m excited

I also need to say, I got one of my roommates hooked on “The Office” and it’s such a satisfying feeling to sit here in the living room and hear voices wafting in from her room…”from himself. From the future.”

I also wanted to let you all know that I’m not going to be writing for LITO much longer. I’m a brand-new special education teacher, and as much as I love LITO, I need to focus my time and energy on my students and my class right now. I’d like to thank everyone for being so incredibly awesome (”Office” fans are seriously the best!) and helping me out so much. I’m sorry I’m not going to stick around longer, but I’m very excited for the future of LITO - a podcast in the near future (hopefully–still taking volunteers, especially if you are able to record and/or edit the podcasting festivities), and Office PsychProfiles, which we’ll be starting up this week! Brian Stucki started a wonderful thing with this website, and I was lucky to be a part of it, just for a few months. Right now, my class needs me. But I am positive the next writer will do incredible things just like Brian did! So really, if you think about it, it is a total win-win-win situation

Kevin R. from California!
