I apologize to everyone for not giving any advance warning for this thing. In the future, I will try my best to give at least twenty-four hours notice. Ideally, I'll do it on the same time and same day every week, but stupid life sometimes gets in the way.
But as of right now, I'm going to try my best to do these things every Thursday night. If you're interested, you can follow me on Twitter. All future shows will be at least two hours long. And look for a new theme this week!
Blog The Recession
I'll admit it: I'm a slack reader. Most of the time I read people's blogs through Google Reader and will only click through to their sites if I have something helpful, interesting, or funny to say (i.e. almost never). Also, since I have a tendency to read late at night and most bloggers post in the mornings, I assume everything I want to add has already been added by someone else. Probably more eloquently.But by doing this, I am keeping money out of the pockets of the bloggers I love.
So it is for slackers like me that Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored created Blog The Recession, a time for people to click through links and view the sites of their favorite bloggers (and therefore, increase their ad revenue).
So for the month of August, I promise to click on every new post of every site I normally view in Google Reader. I will also click through to the sites of everyone who leaves comments on my site. Except for Whit, who is an ass that has installed something that crashes my computers (all three of them) when I visit his site. Damn Chagware.
Starting Monday.
I just got back in town and noticed my Reader has 400+ unread entries.
Song of the day: Life In A Northern Town by The Dream Academy
