History of the blog
Wayne Hubert’s Blog Business World is a great resource for … well … blog business, but I’m still laughing (and groaning) over Blog History: The Real Story.
Paris Hilton, porn star and traffic generator
Wizbang has some links to Wizbang: the Paris Hilton tapes, but what’s really interesting is that through a weird quirk in PageRank, Wizbang got a ton of traffic to their fairly short posting. So my question is, is it worth chasing trends like this to get traffic, or does it fade more quickly than the [...]

The post-Christmas photocopy contest
OK, I’ll bite. Kelly is running a contest to liven up her day. You gotta enter before 4:30pm TODAY, though. My guess is 302.
Attack squirrel of death
I’m trying desperately to get some work done, but I’m glad I took a break for the Attack Squirrel of Death. The story of a man, his motorcycle, and a very, very pissed off rodent.
