halloween
Last year, I went as the little AOL guy for Halloween. Yeah, him: 
This year? I'm going as a Spam Filter. My nerd is bigger than yours.
POLITICS

BLOGGERS GONE MAINSTREAM
Couple things I missed from earlier this week:
Ana Marie Cox got a six-figure book deal (third item).
IDEAS
Listen to Malcolm Gladwell (his new book, Blink, is not out until 2005).
POP
Suicide Girls interviews Sarah Michelle Gellar.
MUSIC
Yo, politicos, Eminem's Mosh video. (Director notes.)
What do you think Pitchfork gave the Pavement re-release? Crooked 10.0.
The Wired Creative Common is out. Track list.
I'm not sure why, but Alex Ross posted his piece about Radiohead from 2001 that ran in the New Yorker. And I'm not sure why I'm telling you either, other than it's sorta memorable. (Another flashback: Thom Yorke and Howard Zinn hang.)
DESIGN
The Frank Gehry Furniture Collection.
T-SHIRTS
Stereogum crafts some Ashlee Simpson tees.
JON STEWART
Yeah, he was on 60 Minutes last week too.
LOCAL

Jim Walsh follows up on last week's story about the PiPress reporters suspended for going to a Springsteen concert with unprinted letters to the editor. (Update: PiPress responds.)
