BLOGS

Rocketboom included the secrets to my blogging technique in a post a couple days ago. (It's toward the end of the segment.) You crazy vloggers! See also: some video of Chuck and I drunkenly quizzing Amanda about her role on The Restaurant at a strange house straight outta the movie Slacker in Austin at SXSW.

Anil pays tribute to Suck.com. I've been telling anyone who would listen that Suck.com doesn't get the cred it deserves. Everyone fondly remembers Spy and Might and even Inside.com, but I honestly feel that the attitude expressed in Suck was more influential than all of them.

ONLINE

Having crashed hours after launching, OurMedia.org is back online. And another social media site launched today: NowPublic.com.

MUSIC

Hey, Thurston Moore is in Wired. No, really.

This could pass for parody: Beck intereview in Elle. Sample questions: "So do you cry at movies?" and "If tomorrow you became a woman, who would you be?"

POLITICS

LOCAL

Thoughts of a Dreamer, the LiveJournal of Jeff Weise. And the scary one: Weise posting on the Nazi.org message boards.
