here's a little something to get you in the mood

(wait for the music... got it? throwing up yet?)
Valued Readers:
Two in one day, you poor thing! But it's pretty short this time. I'd
like to ask you do three things for me. Even one of these would be
nice. Why? Because it's the Season of Giving. Right? [Even I am
groaning, so let's just get to it, OK?]
1) Dave Winer has put together a nominations page for the 2001
Scripting News Awards (which he, of course, made up as well):
http://www.scripting.com/awards/2001/
Please go and vote for the blogger of your choice. I voted for
myself, natch (RageBoy, if you must ask), but I was tempted to go
against my nature and vote for Doc Searls. He really deserves it,
despite his too-modest demurrers.

Vote your conscience. (If that fails, vote for me.)
2) Please go to Amazon and vote DOWN the trite, cliched, hackneyed
review of Gonzo Marketing that's titled "This would have been
better as an article." Jesus, is that all he could think to say?
The dumb fuck! Remember when we did this with a Cluetrain review so
that it ended up saying "8 of 427 people found the following review
helpful"? Right then, you know what to do.

3) Go to the Amazon link for "The Bombast Transcripts: Rants and
Screeds of RageBoy," an actual copy of which I am currently holding
up to my monitor here. Can you see it? No? Damn. Then try this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738206334/entropygradientr
Note that the book will start shipping on January 8th. Also note
where it says "Amazon.com Sales Rank: 811,556." Ask yourself: a) if
this is a good thing (hint: no); and b) whether this ranking is
altogether fair seeing as how "The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power
of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin" is #12! Then ponder
long and hard as to whether you should maybe buy one for Uncle
Phrastus and all those others on your Holiday list that you still
don't know what to get, basically because you hate them.
Thank You,
The Management
