WE KNEW RIGHT AWAY. Our much admired colleague Doctor Zero has a book out containing the best essays from his first year of blogging:

You should be able to purchase it at Amazon within the next week or so. It costs $16.95 and we're betting it's well worth the investment. Doctor Zero is a master of the formal essay, he writes exceptionally well, and amid all the noise of the Internet, this is an opportunity to hear one clear voice speaking sense from a wise and educated perspective.

If possible, we'll offer a review when it's generally available, but in the meantime we'd like to offer what support we can by reminding readers of the cacophonous Internet context which forms the backdrop, or background static, behind his book. That's why we've assembled an archive of our own past year of diverse blog noisemakers. Think of them as the vuvuzelas that caterwaul during the beautiful game represented by DZ's more formal explication of unfolding events on the world stage. Maybe you can read them against one another, week by week or month by month.


Maybe not as much light but a little more laughter and a lot more raucous buzzzzzzing. Don't forget that vuvuzelas are, however obnoxious, expressions of fandom.
