Three Little Dots: I Will Not Apologize for Not Posting Edition. No. I Won’t.

I have been suffering from information overload and have been reduced to sucking my online content through a very small straw. Nevertheless, I have gleaned the following: John Hodgman—pound for pound the funniest person I have ever read, heard or seen—puts out his first book, The Areas of My Expertise, this week. I’ve seen him read from it twice and was delighted both times. … Author Brendan Halpin trashes himself so he can respond on Salon, a plan so crazy that it just might work. … I cannot believe the critics liked this. … It’s 1968 and you’re late for your Bar Mitzvah. You’ve got to run to make it while avoiding the third most influential band of all time. It’s Velvet Underground 3D Death Chase. Oh yes it is. [Via Buck Hill.]
