I’m Not Cool Enough To Pretend This Isn’t Exciting…

March 21st, 2007 by Oskar Kennedy

  Wired.com’s Table of Malcontents is one of my favorite blogs, and one of the few that I make sure to read every day. (RSS rules.) ToM celebrated last week’s Steak and a Blowjob day with a contest to let readers create a holiday of their own, and a winner was me!

  I proposed Flame Shame Day, an annual day when people who post nasty comments on blogs and message boards are required to spend one minute thinking about how their snarkity affects the people it’s directed against. The ToM staff liked the idea, and they’re sending me a card to celebrate.

  Even if you don’t want to read my winning entry, you should still check out Table of Malcontents. Odd, interesting, amusing and amazing nuggets from the farthest corners of the Internets are always on the ToM menu. Enjoy! LBB commands it!

Blogiverse Death Watch:

May 12th, 2007 by Oskar Kennedy

  The excellent blog Table Of Malcontents is circling the drain of Interweb commercial concerns. According to contributor Eliza Gauger (see last item), parent site Wired.com will pull the plug on the Malcontents on June 30. Although there’s been no official statement, one suspects that the bean counters at Wired saw the audience of deviant steampunk cephalophiles as too niche to cram into a standard demographic advertising model.

  There are a kajillion sites dedicated to sifting through celebrity stool samples, spouting political invective, or speculating on plot details gleaned from a blurry photo of the craft services table on the set of the latest Batman movie. It’s telling that even a company like Wired, which purports to cater to the tech/geek/net crowd, can’t make some room in its budget to provide interesting, unusual Interweb diversion for those of who don’t want to hang with the mouthbreathing knuckledraggers at PerezHilton.com.

Necessary Linkage

August 17th, 2007 by Oskar Kennedy

  Spend some time beneath the tracks of the Market-Frankford El with David Kessler’s Shadow World. It’s a video blog featuring the people who live and work in the city’s Kensington section. These are folks you don’t see in the “Philly’s awesome” flick that runs before Imax movies at the Franklin Institute. Their neighborhood struggles like an underfed vine in the grimy shadow of the El. The videos don’t editorialize; there is no Michael Moore-ish self-promotion. Just simple, revealing moments among the city’s forgotten, that should be mandatory viewing for the mayoral candidates.

Welcome Skepchicks and Readers

October 2nd, 2007 by Oskar Kennedy

  A long-belated thank you to Rebecca and the rest of the free-thinking females over at Skepchick for graciously linking in my direction. I first discovered the Skepchicks through The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

  I’m neither as prolific nor as entertaining as the Skepchicks, but I try to do my small part to popularize rational thinking and objective inquiry. I’d humbly suggest that you might enjoy these recent items. Enjoy, and please comment if something amuses/offends/nauseates you.

Spooooky

March 12th, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy

  If I were of a superstitious bent, I’d find the following coincidence full of some sort of meaning. I’m not sure of what, but meaning nonetheless.

  Two bloggers, one a friend I’ve known for years, the other I met on the Internet a few months ago. Within 24 hours of each other, they each wrote a post explaining why they don’t bother to tag their posts. The God Of Internet must have inspired them somehow.
