Bring on the cheez!!

MUST...UPDATE...WEBLOG: Tired and monumentally busy, but the urge to annotate is strong. Did ya miss me? By the way, 20 folks have signed on to A Day Without Weblogs. Have you?

CONGRATS! The preternaturally witty Lileks has a book deal! And a better use of dead trees I cannot imagine than the immortalization of the Gallery of Regrettable Food. Way to go!

AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT: Another Internet humor wellspring, Illiad, has parlayed his geeky web comic User Friendly into an O'Reilly book. The open-source cartoonist (aka J.D. Frazer) is the subject of a Salon profile.

YES, IT'S HUMOR DAY here in The BradLands. The Brunching Shuttlecocks has gotten off some good licks lately, including ratings of TV Remote Control Buttons. This take on "play" is a classic:

Classic in its simplicity, "Play" takes its place along such timeless buttons as "On," "OK," and "Toast." Some may claim that "Play" is too naive for a complex post-podern, pre-contemporary, inter-millennial world where buttons like "Standby" and "Zero Back" hold sway. However, without beacons of selection like "Play," we sink into a quagmire where "control" is relative and we are most "remote" from our own souls.

And then, there's L. Fitzgerald Sjöberg's assertion that "I Oughta Be a Law." His maxims regarding Usenet filtering are hilarious for the same reason that all humor is funny — they're painfully true. <sigh>

POLITE SOCIETY DEMANDS LAWS: And Murphy's given us a wheelbarrowful. PARTY! PARTY! It's going to take me several weeks of spare time to wade through all the priceless content at TV Party, featuring wave after wave of boob tube nostalgia. Bring on the cheez!!
