Sorry about that, folks. I'll try to get that fixed soon.

The Fast Food News blog provides news updates and commentary on the fast-food world, and I'm pretty in love with all its bloggy glory. I find it alternately depressing and mind-blowingly awesome to be reminded that, for example, a new joint decides to fry macaroni and cheese almost one a week, or that Hardee's thinks it's good marketing to create an interactive website where hungry guys can hang out with a virtual roommate. Look: read the blog. Like so many things in our world, fast food isn't just disgusting when you look closely at it; it's also very, very weird.

I keep meaning to write about my friend Chris's excellent blog, 7:21 p.m. If you live in the Philadelphia area, you might recognize Chris as the guy who lives in a truck (he's since changed to a van). On the 7:21 p.m. blog, Chris writes about what's going on for him every day at precisely 7:21 p.m., when the alarm on his watch goes off. Right now he's on a solo bike ride to rural Quebec, and he's writing really interesting, honest stuff about the experience. Read it.
I'm thrilled to announce that my first post for 23/6, the Huffington Post's version of The Onion, went up today. And! Not only was my piece featured on 23/6, but it also held some valuable real estate on the Huffington Post's front page as well. This was absolutely thrilling, but also a little amusing since some people, presumably those linked off the Post's front page, apparently didn't realize that the piece was written for a humor website. Thus I have received a couple comments correcting the facts of my story highlighting the similarities between the New Hampshire vote recount and the breakdown of Britney Spears. Awesome.
