I got 30,000 views on iReport in one day…
My ugly mug has been plastered all over the internet.
I hate
when people say “most likely” instead of “likely”.
As in: “This will most likely be Brett Favre’s last game.”

You guys are going to love iReport
I signed up this morning and made an “iReport” about JD Salinger and Catcher in the Rye. About an hour later, a woman from CNN calls me and interviews me about it. At the end of the interview she told me to film a video of me talking about the book and Salinger and she’ll try to put it on the air (either CNN or CNN.com). What a cool website.

No one’s grades will be affected by this change.
As far as I’m concerned, you can keep using Tumblr (responsibly,...
Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger
In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. “He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers,” said hot-shot English professor David...
J.D. Salinger dead at 91
A very sad day for the English language. Author J.D. Salinger, the reclusive author of Catcher in the Rye, one of the most important novels in literary history, died today.
From NPR:
The Catcher in the Rye, starring the disaffected adolescent Holden Caulfield, was an instant success, though it puzzled some reviewers. Long before it became a staple in American high schools — and ever since —...
