Writing Blog-style about Blogging and The Internet...
I feel like this girl could be one of my fellow students at Oberlin. But she’s on the cover of the NYT Magazine! Oh the opportunities. Do you think I could be famous like her if I just put my mind to it and started writing personal stuff on my tumblr?
P.S. I don’t want to be like her! Reading her article makes me feel weird.

Today I learned about and became a fan of a woman named Jen Bekman. She’s pretty cool and has a gallery and does other cool stuff. Kent Rogowski is one of the photographers she represents (that I really like.) go here and here. I’m entertaining ideas of someday becoming one of her hot shots.

Tom Museum →

It might be. But he’s great, and I...
change is gonna come
It’s gonna come to this blog—taking a detour (from what? you might ask) to become “Obamablog” from now until hopefully, November. Or until I get tired of posting Obama links and factoids. Let’s Barack-out

Lit
Jacob Weisberg really likes to make literary analogies. In his new book, he describes Bush as a Shakespearian tragic figure, and I just saw him repeatedly call the Wire ”Dickensian” in a little HBO retrospective on the show. He made the same comparison in a slate article a while ago. My point? Jacob Weisberg is a big nerd.

I keep hearing stories on NPR about zoos, like this one on Radio Lab, and another one I can’t remember. Plus my favorite book is called Zoo. It’s a good word. Zooooooooooo
