Apparently Required Blogging: Tim O’Reilly’s Dumb Blogger Rules
Tim O’Reilly’s “Rules of Conduct” for bloggers is, like its author, a pretentious piece of crap. Its a joke, and I wouldn’t even use it to wipe my ass (…and thats not just because printer paper is harsh and doesn’t make the best TP, its because it’s a pretentious piece of crap.).
By the way, Tim, I have way more than 2 sources of this, but I just don’t feel like listing them.
[There. I talked about it.]
Super Quick Follow Up: Jeff Jarvis has an excellent take on all of this. He didn’t mention wiping his ass with it explicitly, but his article were my initial thoughts on this exactly. Its a very well thought out article, which is something that would look completely foreign on this site between the Britney Spears jokes.

Here’s something I never really thought about: All the time that the actors on The Office have spend on set looking busy at their desks while other characters are shooting their scenes. So what do they do? Like real office workers, they play on the internet. The best part? Some of them, like my fellow alumnus of Truman State University Jenna Fischer, blog. The super-best part? Her blog is really good. The less-than-best part? She blogs on her MySpace page which loads slower than fat guy moving through a buffet line. Regardless, its still worth a read…
Hello MySpacers! It is Monday and we are finally filming back on set. I’m diligently doing hours and hours of background work. I’ve scoured the internet for furniture, answered emails and had an online chat with Rainn. I’m out of things to keep busy so I’m posting this blog.

Good News – We won the SAG Award for Best Comedic Ensemble Cast!Our table was next to the people from 24 so, yes I was drooling all night. What a great group of people. I talked to Kiefer again…or should I say babbled. Later that night I met Patrick Dempsey. He has magic sparkles that rotate around his head. The word “dreamy” is completely accurate. The best part of the night was probably when Oscar, David, Angela, Kate, her boyfriend and my husband started dancing in the middle of a party that did not have a dance floor. We created a dance craze and soon a bunch of people were going to town.
Its good right? Sure its sad to read about her fawning over one of the dudes from Grey’s Anatomy when she clearly hasn’t seen the glory that is me with my own set of amazing sparkles in orbit around my head. A few years back my doctor tried to make me use a special shampoo to get rid of my “huge disgusting flaky” sparkles, as he put it, but screw that man Patrick Dempsey and I are just fine without your special shampoo! Who else gets people to offer me the rest of their lunch every day in the break room when I sit down next to them and scratch my head. Once those sparkles start flying, everyone wants to give you things to be their friend…

Online gossip queen Perez Hilton is being dragged into the courtroom for using copyrighted pictures owned by some of the largest paparazzi agencies in the US. I have zero doubt that he will either pay them a ass-load of money in a settlement or he will pay two ass-loads in court because he will lose this case. The proof is pretty astounding and all over his website. You know, those pictures with the stupid drawings of dicks and the words “slut”? How do you come up with gold like that? He must have a team of 13 year old boys working day and night to dream up amazing comedy like that. Seriously though, the real irony of the stupid drawings is that he started doing that because people were stealing his images…and by his I mean the copyrighted images that he never owned in the first place.
I used to read Perez regularly. In fact he made frequent visits here and left a few comments, but I really think he started to suck when he became BFF’s with Paris Hilton. Now all he does is basically run her guerrilla PR campaign by slamming the people she hates and telling stories about how wonderful she is. I’m not usually one to slam a guy for taking on an impossible job, but he must be retarded. I just picture him at some club telling Paris how great she is while holding her hair as she pukes on stage between her “songs”. You not only sold your soul to the devil, but you’re also holding her hair…a small price to pay for fame right?
To sum up: Perez Hilton is getting sued. He’s become the douchey lapdog of Paris Hilton, and he’s not funny. Everyone knows the secret to being funny is spit takes…and something tells me Perez rarely, if ever, spits.
Now take a look at some of these fine copyrighted images of Brooke Burke:
If you promise not to sue me, there are two more copyrighted images of Ms Burke after the jump.

Would Someone Really Video-Blog Their Own Death?
Kevin Krutz was a video blogger. Kevin Krutz died recently and it so happened that is friends that found him happened to have a video camera on hand. His friends then posted the video of Krutz, with the consent of his family, to his blog. So what do you think, is this the real deal? Do you think someone would really post the video of finding their friend dead on the web? And if so, would his parents condone it? I’m not sure I by it 100%. From the looks of Krutz’s other videos he has/had a thing for the slightly disturbed. So “faking” his own death might not be all that out there for this guy.
Ok, lets say its real for the sake of argument. How far do we think people would really take their blogs? How many people would die and write a final note with instructions to post it up as a final post on their blog? Or how many people would want something like this video to be posted on the web once they kick the bucket and move on to the big Heaven 2.0? I bet more people than you would think would do such a thing and I bet more than you think already have. Its not exactly something I’m down with, but an interesting topic.
Here’s a direct link to the video. If you want to see it, hurry, I think its already in the Digg queue. Also, there is strong language, and well a guy kinda / maybe dies in it, so its obviously Not Safe For Work. Frankly if a tit somehow made in the video it would be on the list of all time Not Safe For Work videos.

When You Call Tom Green, Make Sure You Tell Him Hell Yeah Bitch!.com Says Hi
Tom Green, everyone’s favorite utter-sucking, canceled MTV show host, has decided to post is personal cell phone number ( 1 (310) 717-1919 ) on his blog. From the post:
Okay, so I didn’t mention this. But I documented the moment that I lost my mind. On video. It was the moment I decided to post my blog. It’s neat, because you see how long it takes for the phone to start ringing. About two minutes or so after the post. It hasn’t stopped since. I’m not complaining. It has been awesome talking to all of you people around the world over the past 24 hours. If you watch this video to the end, you will see the first call I recieved. And me making some goofy faces, as I tend to sometimes do. You guys are awesome. Cheers Gang!
Very cool. I found this little nugget of internet greatness via Perez, and upon going to Green’s site, I have found that I love it. His blog is everything a blog should be: a little bit of life story, a little be of his thoughts, and a little bit of random weirdness. I love it. And the best part is he seems to actually keep it up rather well.
Nice work one the blog Tom Green, and your beard kicks ass!

Random Blog of the Week #11
Yes I know I’m late, and I may have forgot to do this last week, so to my 1 reader out there: I’m sorry.
This week blog is: Cinematical Take a wild guess what its about? Movies. Thats all. If you are looking for fun gossip about what movies are coming out, this is the place to go. If you are looking for movie reviews, some written better than others, this is the place to go.
Am I saying this is the best movie site out there? Nope, I’m not. Am I saying that I like their reviews the best? Nope, I’m not. But the whole package together has won this blog a place on the list that I check every morning. I’m sure they are excited. And for the record I do love their “Variety in 60 secs” etc type posts.
