The fourth season of “The Office” is only about two weeks away. In anticipation of the season premiere on Sept. 27, over the weekend we bought the DVD of the third season, which was released last Tuesday. We watched the first two episodes and some deleted scenes last night.

Meanwhile, Missy was checking out NBC’s website for show when she noticed a link to Dunder Mifflin, the imaginary paper company in Scranton, Pa., where they all work. I finally got a chance to check it out myself and I must say it’s a very clever way to market the show. I was particularly excited to see there’s a branch near my hometown of Utica, N.Y.

UPDATE — 5:10 p.m.: My good friend Ivy Larsen sent me this link to an “alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon” — an inside joke for us “Office” nerds.
