Blogging about Blogging about Blogging...


First things first: the most important news item this week? "Unibrow" has been added to the dictionary. It's about time.

Like every other blogger in New York, I saw Broken Social Scene play the Prospect Park bandshell last night. Read all about it from the pros. Tonight is Camera Obscura at Bowery Ballroom. A full report (or, hopefully, a link to someone else's full report) next week.

So everyone else on the Interwebs probably knows about this already, but something called the Fantasy Blog Stock Market has valued this site at $9,901.78, based upon a number of factors that seem both technical and creepily invasive. Remember that Rockwell song "Somebody's Watching Me?" On the bright side, Big Brother's *bitter defeat* profile also details links going in and coming out, which led to the discovery of some new virtual pals on the "coming in" side:

(untitled) features some stunningly beautiful photographs. Shutterbugs should check this one out... lots of nice travel stuff.

i rock i roll preeety much says it all. Rock geek fan explosion, kids. Shows, bands, general awesomeness, and the proprietress (proprietrix?) is a fellow native-Chicagoan-turned-Brooklynite. Also, her links do this cool thing where a red bar appears when you scroll over them. High-fucking-tech.

So there you have it. Sharing the blog love ("blove?").

And speaking of those from whom I can potentially steal ideas, here are some Friday time-wasters of note (P.S. Andy's Friday Video Corner is on a two-week hiatus... Send video fun in the meantime.):

Have a robot voice call anyone and say anything. (No profanity, but do you really need to say the Brown Word to be funny?) [via Tobyspinks]

Lo and behold, Banterist maintains an archive of all the Grammar Cop posts. The editor/grammar Nazi in me just can't get enough.

A pair of Top Ten lists worth reading (fuck it, any list is worth reading):
Dan Simmons's 10 reasons to love the World Cup
Modern Drunkard's 10 great drunk movies

Finally, in our continuing effort to bring you all things HOFF...

It seems the Hoff has been filming a commercial in London, where he has managed to get into trouble. Even to the point of injury! Luckily, BoingBoing has culled some brilliant toys that remind us of the lighter side of Hoffitude:

Waxhoff
The Hasselhoff Arcade

Have a fantastic weekend and may Jesus smile benevolently at the top of your head.
