Today Forbes has published their first annual list of the top celebrities on the interwebs: The Web Celeb 25, “From penniless bloggers to geek entrepreneurs, these are the biggest and brightest stars on the Web.” I knew from all the congratulatory email in my inbox before I even clicked that they named me as #25!…

Shopping
I broke away from the book and the career pressures tonight and convinced a hot girl-friend to come out playing with me, and we had champagne and hit every 24-hour Safeway in San Francisco. We didn’t buy anything. Can you tell which basket is mine? We left baskets like these all over town.
Porn in HD — please, no, I’ll be good from now on, I promise
I’ve seen “porn stars” in person. Some are friends. At Macworld, I joked with someone I’ve done fetish photos with about HD porn, cracking evil snaps about butt pimples and rank surgery scars… and then, as timing has it, today there’s a great piece in the New York Times about porn in HD. (We pinged…
Writing the book
Here’s an excerpt from today’s work: “To ‘testify’ is to swear upon the truth of your words; the word comes from the male ritual of gripping their most prized possession while making an oath upon their sexual chestnuts, as it were.

What Hillary problem, indeed
Just thinking about this (Hilarack? Hilbama? Mission Brokeback Democracy?) has a few of us thinking about this today…
Lovely white tattoos
Sent by a reader, a link to pics of these gorgeous white tattoos posted last season on body modification blog ModBlog. Unfortunately I can’t get far back enough in their galleries to give you a link to the whole photoset the post mentions, but this post has a few more. And yes, they’re real, even…
AMS banckruptcy update, buyout imminent
Wow, so as I read in the RE/Search email newsletter, it looks like the offer to buy out book distributor PGW is official — subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval, of course. But that means all of us will only be getting 70% of the money owed to us. Someone remind me the relevancy of…
Confession
I have a weird, personal confession to make. I love ducks. Not duck figurines, not duck pictures, not weird stuffed ducks or people who like to dress as mascots and have sex — when I am depressed or sad, I get a loaf of bread and head to the park. Ducks in nature cheer me…
Yay Blip!
Michael Cohn has a very interesting writeup at Red Herring about my favorite video service, Blip.tv and how they’re at the epicenter of media delivery evolution, with comments from sweet Dina Kaplan in Blip.tv Brings Vlogs to Masses. Snip: “But another Democratic candidate who threw his hat in the ring a few weeks earlier, Iowa…
