VOGUE Knitting

Last updated on: September 26, 2010 at 1:23 pm By John Shore

This morning I learned that there’s a magazine called VOGUEknitting. For the benefit of other magazines who might also be looking to reach audiences one might not naturally associate with them, might I suggest these other specialty ancillary issues? (more…) Read more

My Blog and the Silly Putty People

Last updated on: September 24, 2010 at 4:04 am By John Shore

Running a blog is like posting a big sign on the gate outside of your house that says, “Like this house? Come in! Have a seat! Talk amongst yourselves!” And people do! They wander in, they look around; they might say a word or two: perhaps a big speech, perhaps only a snide aside. They might stop in once; they might stop in so often pretty soon I can practically give them the keys to the place and let them... Read more

The Curse of the Crappy Christians

Last updated on: September 21, 2010 at 4:47 am By John Shore

203 Comments

Yesterday reader Mindy left a comment to The Laziest Christian in the World that I thought worth closely examining, because it so perfectly captures so much of what I know repels so many from Christianity. Mindy is easily one of most consistently thoughtful, patient and articulate commenters on this blog. I’m hopeful she won’t mind having one of her comments be the basis for this little exercise.

Introducing the One and Surely Only Daniel Songer

Last updated on: September 20, 2010 at 2:05 pm By John Shore

Today reader DR sent me to this man’s prodigious video output on YouTube. I looked at about fifteen of his tapes before deciding that this one most fully captures the full spectrum of wonderment that is “comedian entertainer” Dan “The Man” Songer. A man. A deck. A video camera. A reason for you to forget to blink for eight minutes and twenty-four seconds. Read more

How I REALLY Became an Adult

Last updated on: September 18, 2010 at 10:34 am By John Shore

Yesterday I tweeted (okay, no grown person should ever have to use the phrase “I tweeted”) this: “No summer in San Diego this year. Already much colder than usual. Anticipating snowmen and dissociative disorder.” Ah, Tweeting. It’s like the … hyper-nervous twitch of writing. It should be called twitching. (more…) Read more

Awesome Kid Shows How He Made Didgeridoo

Okay, I had to put this up. This is the video of this kid that made me love him. His whole slow-mo vibe just kills me. And the little thing he does at the last moment of the clip is just … fantastic. (Mega-moment: the ultra-somber way he delivers, “Take my advice on this.”) Read more
