I suppose I should type something here, but really, just read it. All the way through.

All I want for Christmas is to work for this company. I’ve gone fully corporate. Oh, and Belgium, it would seem.

Interested to know what’s been on my mind? I think that you may be sorry you asked, dear reader.
First, Amazon.com has a fantastic deal on the greatest American comedy in years. Well worth the purchase for the man or woman of taste. Caw cu-caw! Caw cu-caw!
And then, of course, this. I post it knowing full well that it’s been Dugg, Reddedited, twittered, FaceSpaced, Mybooked, Filtered by Metas, Piled by Filers and all other manner of internet euphemism. Still there are those who have not seen it, strangely.

Our president, the current one, is not very bright. This is something that could be debated, but evidence clearly exists.
Was he snowed into giving the shocker? Photoshop, you say, and I reply with, “This photo is on whitehouse.gov. Not .com where it’s a porn site, but the actual White House site.” He’s a dingle. Now if Clinton had done this, you’d know it was on purpose.

Cracked writes something of substance… world in deeper peril than previously imagined, read the headline that morning.
I wanted to try a really long headline. Like my resume site, ChristopherElst.com, this site will be getting an overhaul shortly, both in design and usage. I intend to make my blog more amenable to the passing user, although I doubt I will be able to resist the LiveJournal-ly overly personal diary entries now and again. I’ve been making most of those private, so that only my hacker friends are bored with me.
But in the interest of the burgeoning Steelbuddha community web 2.0 sharing experience (or some equally obtuse marketing name), I post this delectable little article about trolling. If you can stick to the text and ignore the Cracked.com shell, there’s actually a point to be made in there, particularly toward the top of the list — which in our times comes at the bottom of the article. The interwebs inverted our inverted pyramid, Journalism majors!

Awesome!
Just in time for NaNoWriMo. Get on it, my writer friends. I’m not going to submit myself to this torture, but you most certainly should.

Video on Springsteen’s page for Halloween. Pretty boss, if you don’t mind me saying.
