In the best of 2005 links, I found this wonderful (1993) David Foster Wallace interview about art, TV, novelists, calculus, anti-cleverness, patheticness (but finding some way to enjoy the patheticness), hacks, postmodern novelists, philosophy, the "click," et. al. He's the bestest. It's a short and easy read, but regretably, not terribly entertaining (I'll wipe that sarcasm from my lips, thank you very much for pointing it out) (which is ironic since he makes fun of irony and sarcasm as well).
