I hope nobody took this advice seriously. It's ridiculous to include blogging as one of the "10 hottest emerging careers that you might not know about" - people need to be serious about how they make their living.

Bloggers: Just 10 years ago, blogging would have sounded to most like a verb relegated to video games. But now, freelance writers, marketers, Web designers, finance professionals--even tea-drinkers--can draw people from around the world to read what they're thinking. Businesses are catching on, which is why they'll often hire people to blog about their products, and some bloggers can actually sell ads on their personal blogs. Are your personal thoughts worth paying for? They are, especially if you have education and a unique voice. Top bloggers can make six figures, and a handful are said to make millions.

Or maybe I'm just saying this so there's less competition for my millions...

The early kin to elephants were amphibious.

The Harrisburg Brewers Fest is June 21st. I've never been, and this sure sounds like a softball tournament weekend date for our daughter to me, but it sounds like fun.

What if the Presidential Statues of Washington came alive!

Starvation is going to get worse. It's not like we all don't know this - there's pressure on the cost of food for a variety of reasons, and change has to occur on the individual level in order to stop the trend. Somehow, we have to go to the grocery and keep this in mind, and consume accordingly. I'm as bad as anyone on this, and articles like this are important for me to recognize how wasteful I am in consumption. Must change.

I am not anonymous. I am pseudonymous. There's a difference.

DCup is spreading the word of Utz.

This kind of looks like one of our contributing bloggers.

Man, it's getting hard to find interesting non-campaign blog posts these days. So much primary reactionary blather. Blah blah blah.

I haven't eaten at an Olive Garden in at least a decade. Why? I won't wait around like they require by their table policy.

Wherever Larry Ellison goes, he should ask, was this the right thing to do? Not that it was legal - was it right?

Seriously, that Rock of Love show is one of the worst programs - and programming ideas - ever.

The Pennsylvania Progressive is hanging it up.

Is bulk text messaging right around the corner?

Hope and pray for good news for Andante.

I wonder how much of a hit the blogosphere will take after November? The intensity of blogging - the emotional investment of bloggers into people and events - seems to be running high and likely to continue doing so up until the general election. What's the burnout factor here? Will we see a reduction in force of bloggers after the general election?

Great question of the day: What popular person, song, movie, fashion, or whatever else has failed utterly to capture your fancy, but you're pretty sure it was just you?

(by the way, a good answer for me is sushi)

Yes - once a government goes into generating revenue from a certain type of business, they are often stuck in the position of trying to maximize the revenue from that business. That is why Rendell's casinos plan didn't make sense to me in the first place.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture - if you haven't seen it online yet, give yourself 12 minutes. The last 30 seconds packs the big wallop.

Oliver, Oliver, Oliver... you need some NCAA hoops immersion.

Pennsylvania has the silliest six-pack beer laws in the land.

I haven't done this in a while, link to the blogs that are blogrolled at a site I regularly check out. As has been discussed here before, this is a good way to help other blogs out, as it helps their PageRank in search output at Google. So, here's the blogroll at TommyWonk for review and googling:
