Beth sent me this link, because it is full of Hoffness. So much Hoffness, I find myself pledging allegiance to his Hoffness, and the united state of his pectorals. Many, many alert readers have notified me that Comedy Central plans to roast the Hoff in August – which is alarming, because the Hoff’s general state is a nice toasty golden brown. Roast him?! He might burn! Wear sunscreen, Hoffmeister, and I’ll salute you any time!
If all goes well, tomorrow I will be attending Big Money’s Untethered conference, all about publishing on tablet media. I haven’t received a registration confirmation despite being a media partner, woe is I. I think (I hope anyway) that they’re defining “tablet” to its broadest definition to include not only iPads but also smart phones, digital reading devices, and the like, because if it’s all iPad, all day, that’ll get boring in a hurry. But … Continue reading Untethered (I Hope)

The afternoon sessions began after a lunch of vegetarian and tuna wraps and sushi, with really good cookies, and really long lines for the free Motorola phone. Ms. Harman, American Red Cross: My successes in social media are created in moments of unspeakable tragedy. Social media and the American Red Cross connect people who need help. The American Red Cross belongs to everyone, because we make up the network that allows communities to help each … Continue reading The State of Mashable Media Summit: Part Deux, With Drinking Game
Today I’m at the Mashable Media Summit, sponsored by Mashable and CNN Tech and a bunch of other folks. On one hand, Mashable is amazing (I just learned from the COO that their traffic has increased four times their 2008 numbers) and on the other…CNN drives me nuts for a whole smorgasboard of reasons. This conference, to be frank, was expensive. I registered early but it was over $400 for the day. A day. So … Continue reading The State of Mashable Media Summit
So much awesome in the inbox, I can’t even tell you. Lisa sent me the following link to vintage men’s adventure magazines. After looking at the covers, would you rather face down: – weasels ripping your flesh – cannibal crabs crawling to kill – the red tide of death (Kotex makes something for that, I bet) – a battle with a giant otter – mad monkeys manning the lifeboats – an alligator who won’t give … Continue reading A Perfect Storm of Linky Awesomeness

And so is P.N. Elrod, who sent me a link, so that I could show you THIS GRAPHIC: You’ve probably seen it before, but that’s ok. Because now you won’t be able to LOOK AWAY from the CROTCH of the HOFF. And if you were reading this on an iPad and now have schmutz and drool and God-knows what else from staring at the CROTCH of the HOFF for the better part of THREE HOURS, … Continue reading I am so mean
From RWA Librarian of the Year Jennifer Lohmann (can you tell I’m still giddy about that? NO? I will endeavor to be MORE SUPER EXTRA DOUBLE GIDDY) (Tomorrow. I am le tired) comes this link. It’s so fun and awesome, it’s the whole entry: Hot Guys Reading Books. It was brought to her attention due to Jason Pinter’s post on (Huff)PoBooks about the fallacy that men don’t read. Now, the men I know absolutely do … Continue reading Best Link Evah
