Shameless pitch
One of my buddies from a neighboring lab started up a blog of his own and came to me seeking counsel, as I am the department's resident expert on attention-grabbing bloggery. "It's addictive," he said concerning his newfound passion for weblog authoring. True that. My blogging addiction has cost me countless hours of missed sleep, ample destroyed shreds of dignity, and hundreds of dollars on Sugar-Free Red Bull.
I checked out his site and told him that he needs to put up some pictures because it's awfully texty, but otherwise commended him on a job well done. His whole thing is taking news stories and retooling them ever-so-slightly to be funny. His humor is very subtle, but I have to say that I would read a lot more news if it included shameless addendums to Dana Perino press conference sound bites and snide comments about Bush's State of the Union address. So go check him out:
