    The NYT has a great article on Dooce.com, the “Queen of the Mommy Bloggers.” I’ve been reading Dooce since before she got pregnant with Leta, I think. It’s an excellent look at the history of her site and the “real life blogging” genre in general. The bit that surprised me was how much money she makes from her site. I had no idea. I mean, I guessed it was a decent amount, given that she and Jon haven’t had day jobs in a long time. But that site is clearly up in the stratosphere in terms of generating advertising revenue.

    In the interests of full-disclosure, w-g makes an average of $4 a month from ads on the archives. Fortunately RDF more than makes up for it…

    Yesterday I got permission to double my desk and floor space at work. Makes me feel a little giddy to have so much room to move! #happykris

    @toastman Where was it? Rodd got me some macarons from La Renaissance, and they were fantastic.

    Beers with one of my favorite Irishmen… (@ The Gaslight Inn) http://4sq.com/gVIf2l

    @venks79 Heh. Yep. I only know a few. 🙂

    @carbolicious I am so happy to read that. Have you watched Arrested Development? Because if not, I will send you DVDs. LOVE THAT KID.

    @venks79 Too late! I’m home now. But he’s good; will fill you in tomorrow. 🙂

    @carbolicious Well, you said he was your new John Cusack, as if it had just happened! He’s been mine for like 5 years. 🙂

    Managed to FaceTime with my Mom on her new Verizon iPhone4! It totally weirded out everybody back home. Very futuristic and TOMORROW.

    @steven_noble Eating after, I think. Your muscles like to take up protein after a workout to repair, IIRC.

    Less than a week left to enter the web-goddess Oscar Contest! Black Swan sock monkeys could be yours… http://bit.ly/dvL5BE

    @chrisgander Blog post about a new health/social gaming site I’ve been using: http://bit.ly/gc63rA. Your type of thing!

    @DDsD The girl who sits about 3 meters from me does… What do you need to know?

    @DDsD Based on the bitching I hear about various states, I don’t think so. @Opheli8 knows as much as I do, really.

    Pondering the capability of the human brain to deal with an exponentially-increasing number of Skype chats, all with different questions…

    I was in a very mild earthquake in LA 2.5 years ago. For this Midwesterner, it was very weird & scary. Can’t imagine being in a big one.

    @jasony Read your blog post. I didn’t know a stylus worked so well with them! I’m very tempted now. Probably wait til 2nd gen though…

    After 9 hours of sleep and a good run, I feel like I could pull the ears off a gundark.
