Everybody is blogging and making an attempt, however lame, to write the living web (I include myself in the lame attempts crowd). Anyway, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of terrible blogs out there, and I don’t mean content. I’m not a great artist by any means, but I’d like to think that it’s easy to read my content. I ran across a blog that was almost entirely in italics today, and after my eyes stopped bleeding, only one question came to mind. Why? Italics and bold type were created to emphasize material.
So does that mean your ego is enormous if you feel compelled to emphasize your entire blog from header to footer and everything in between? Probably not, but there has to be some reasoning behind it, and I would love to hear it.

If everyone is going to blog, and everyone is going to voice their opinions, spin their own news, and write the web, why can’t it be done in a legible manner? If I were a HS (or college) English teacher, I would require daily blogging, and I would encourage the knowledge of web standards. Start teaching these kids xhtml/css and how to roll their own blog and to write for the web while they’re still young and will listen to you (even if its only for a grade). It will help raise the bar for blogging content.

If you’re not watching this show, you’re missing out. The idea is that 5 ultra hip gay men (all with different personalities and specialties) take pity on some poor straight schlub and transform him from zero to hero. They give the guy and his apartment a physical, cultural, and sometimes emotional makeover then send them out into the world to their families, friends, and girlfriends.

With the exception of one cop from Staten Island, there haven’t been any homophobic panic attacks from the straight guys, which is nice. I’m always happy to see straight guys make friends with gay guys. There’s something special about that kind of relationship.

Anyway, as always, I’ve developed a massive crush on one of the gay guys. His name is Thom. he’s the dark haired god that does the interior design magic. Why do I always crush on the gay guys? Ugh. Anyway here’s a picture of the sweetie. He’s delish.
