Matt found a very interesting article about a very interesting job. If by "very interesting" you mean "insane."

It's rare that I can honestly say somethign made me laugh and laugh out loud, but today's job application story at Velcrometer just made me laugh and laugh and laugh. (And laugh.) I'm surprised they didn't make him king of whatever company it was.

I didn't talk a whole lot at the time about my appearance in TV Guide in January, and some of you have asked me whether the stuff I wrote is online anywhere. You can get it here, by clicking on the three banners that read "Mogo Mogo," "Chapera," and "Saboga." That will pull up the three tribe charts I did for them.

In other news, if you're following the rest of my writing career, I've also written for MSNBC.com about American Idol since last we spoke, in a piece that has almost certainly been seen by more people than anything else I've ever written for them. I also had a piece about the geeky kind of reality television that I really enjoyed writing, because it gave me a chance to write about a few shows I really like. Oh, and I wrote about Deadwood as well. Oddly, that show made practically no impression on me at all.

Among the interesting things I've been reading is Jack Bog's fascinating but creepy post about the things that will raise your blood pressure. He's not kidding about the IRS mailing. That isn't good at all. At. All.

Also from the Portland files is some good stuff coming from Matt Whitman, whom I knew in law school a bit. (Don't tell him, but I still have a book belonging to him. Shhhh.) Good political and legal tidbits, and every once in a while, something extremely random and silly. Read Matt. Matt is smart.
