Sarah Lacy Continues The Fine Journalistic Traditions Of TechCrunch

Sarah Lacy, world's greatest woman entrepreneur, has spent the past few months whining about how TechCrunch has sucked since Michael Arrington left. She and ole Mike made a great team, with their matching set of his and hers views from the lofty heights of the 1% and their mutual need to be Tech Authorities. Arrington even invested in her sad attempt to continue being relevant, PandoDaily. After a year of public drama and employee flouncing at TechCrunch, PandoDaily was to be the awesome next generation of tech news site. Well it looks like it's turning into TechCrunch 2.0 all right...

Nicole Thinks You Must Be Fat, Pimple Faced, Donut Eating Fatties

Nicole Story, business woman, has made it very clear that she does not have an eating disorder. What she does have is a fatty hating disorder. In her latest attempt at literacy, she talks about that Vogue article featuring some mom who told her daughter she couldn't have any more cake or something. Anyway, Jezebel did some post about it and ole Nicole did not appreciate their angle: Jezebel, a fashion faux pas in its own right, need not throw stones when their writers, especially the one who attempted to ferociously annihilate Ms. Weiss on her daughter’s weight loss success, should...

“Boho Baby Bump” Not Very Supportive Of Artists

Here's a little heads up for  mommy blogger Jess Gatlyn of Boho Baby Bump - some people are calling her out for the way she began her blog.  It seems way back in 2010 she put up a post announcing her intention to "quest for boho/vintage/jess style from bump, to baby and beyond". Supposedly she shops on Etsy, and is even starting an Etsy store to sell "dollies". So you'd think she would have noticed that the image she chose to use on her post was for a product up for sale on Etsy: While the post is over two years old, the Etsy...

Bloggers Reject Television, Proving Their Superiority To Regular People

It makes me feel nuts...That’s why I have decided not to watch any television or movies for the duration of the month of April. To make sure you know she lives an intellectually superior life, she describes her usual activities: When I was a single gal, I never owned a television...I was always writing, working on something, reading something, or hanging out with my friends. It was brilliant! Since she is so invested in improving everyone's life, Gala wants you...

With her incredible hourglass figure and her long legs (just like her Father!) she combines a fantastically charming and kind personality as well as out of this world writing skills on her brilliant blog, What I Wore. No one can say anything bad about Mrs. Quirk, who loves the letter Q, drinking booze, and eating. With her hectic schedule running What I Wore full time it's impressive how she manages to be both wife and style icon for...

“What Would A Nerd Wear” Closing Her Blog

Tania, who runs the style blog "What Would A Nerd Wear", has decided to close down her blog after two and a half years. In a post addressed to "friends, family, readers, lurkers, and others" she informs the world that she is leaving to "pursue other projects": After much thought and some heartache, I've decided it's time for me to hang up my hat here at What Would a Nerd Wear and give myself the time and space to pursue other projects... I no longer need this blog in the way I once did--I have many creative outlets in DC, I feel more...

KERF Is A Professional

Kath Younger, hard worker, spent today crafting a post revealing her expert inspirational tips on being an awesome photographer: While I do consider myself somewhat of a “professional” photographer due to taking thousands of photos daily for years, I am by no means as talented as a real pro photographer would be! I’ve just had 5 years of practice : ) I don’t shoot in manual or RAW. I tried them both and they just aren’t for me with the speed and frequency in which I take photos. I’ve mastered an amateur photographer’s system. Revealing that she uses "amazing umbrella photography lights with...

CaitlinHTP Finally Reveals Her Husband is British

Caitlin Boyle thinks a "fun factoid" about her marriage to a British man is...that she is married to a British man. I can convince Kristien to try nearly anything by putting a British spin on it (he’s from the UK and moved to America when he was 16 – yes, he has an accent!). This is a really interesting and fun fact because she's never told us before that her husband is British, not even in a frequently asked question post. Not only is he British, but so is his family, and they all do very British things together like celebrate...

Nicole And Her Dog Start A Business

Nicole Story, the "ex-bulimic" who thinks tofu and ketchup is a meal, has "started an LLC.!"  She evidently has moved to New York City - she calls her "initial service region" Gotham, so I'm assuming she means NYC - and will be announcing what her mystery business venture is sometime Monday. Her "pup" is "Director of Sales" and as such was sent to the office supply store for "administrative supplies": A "certain Sir" (lol wut) is her Director of IT - or as she says, "the person that I call when “I can’t figure something out” since I’m quite the...

Waddling to the Finish

Pooping is a universal activity that most humans are lucky enough to engage in on a frequent basis. However, the vast majority of us don't advertise our intestinal actions online for anyone to read. Apparently runners poop more than the average person, or at least seem to have the need to bond over it more with others, as evidenced by a number of posts on the subject including a recent one by Meghann on Meals and Miles. Contrary to what seems to be the popular response to such posts, I don't think it makes you any more human or endearing to talk about...

Is “Project Baby” Joining The 2012 Blogsprog Outbreak?

That Kristin chick, mommy blogger who named her kid "Tinsley", is allegedly pregnant again. Supposedly an email was sent out to friends and family, and our snarky source remarked that she's probably hoping to drag out her neverending French gallivanting in hopes of giving birth in OMG France. The tip also popped up in the forum on the heels of Kristin's maudlin post about having to leave their omgquaint cottage in the French countryside for a new apartment in Paris: We had everything we needed. More than enough room, comforts, hot water, and firewood. We had it all in this place. No obligations...

Jessica Quirk Not Even Pretending To Be Original Anymore

It was this side of 3 years ago that Jessica Quick, of the blog "Why Doesn't Anyone Care About What I'm Wearing Anymore", had her picture in Lucky Magazine and a style book on the presses. Now, Messica can barely muster enough fks to come up with her own DIY projects. Take today's post for example. First of all, at least she FINALLY cut that sad limp hair back to something almost cute. Now if she would just stop parting it in the middle forever and add back the bangs, she might be getting somewhere. Second, neon was a 'thing'...

“The College Conservative” Crashes Internet Due To Flood Of WTF

In case you missed it, "The College Conservative" launched 4 months ago. Claiming 'Our staff is subjected to academic discrimination, blasted by anti-American sentiment, and ridiculed for being “young and naive"', the site aims to end discrimination against white middle class college students by assuring them that people just don't "get" conservatives.  Not because they are mostly bigoted privileged jerks - no no, people don't "get" conservatives because "It’s not that the message is flawed; it just needs the proper packaging." They just need a snazzy website is all! Like an army of undergrad G. Gordon Liddys, the staff claims...

Gala Darling Says Your Mood Is Your Own Fault

Gala Darling, professional attention whore, just loves peddling her "love yourself! be positive!" treacle to a generation of women  who are evidently not finding "The Secret" quite pink and glam enough. In keeping with her image as someone who tells women pretty much what they want to hear and believe, Gala Darling has another "girl power!" post up about owning your emotional state: I have to admit that for the last few days, I’ve felt like I was walking around with a little dark storm cloud over my head...I would like to blame it all on hormones, on Mercury retrograde,...

With all the suprising insights you usually expect from Caitlin HTP, Kath is documenting the still mysterious reproductive event known as human gestation week by week. Today she bravely shares the secrets of going through her 15th week being a human oven: I’m definitely feeling a bit of a shift in my physical state this week. Starting with a more rounded bump of course! But also some lower back pain that flared after my 3.5 hour car ride to Baltimore....

Placentophagy for Vegetarians

The 27th edition of Healthy Tipping Point's weekly pregnancy updates dives into the sticky issue of placentophagy. Caitlin, a vegetarian for the past 3 years, insists that she will consume her spent placenta despite its meaty status and seems less disturbed by the idea of eating part of herself than having to ingest flesh once again. First of all, I definitely ‘get’ the ick factor… but not because it’s my placenta. I’m more grossed out by the fact that technically meat, and I’m a vegetarian.  Even if it’s MY meat (well, an organ) – it’s still meat.  I do find it really funny...

Dooce Corp Fails To Renew LLC

Armstrong Media LLC, the parent company of Dooce.com, has apparently failed to file a renewal with the state of Utah. The company was registered in February of 2006 and was renewed in January of 2011. However this year their registration lapsed and has not yet been renewed. In response to emails asking what this could mean our lolyer sources' theories imply the non-renewal indicates that a divorce filing is probably imminent, as dismantling the company they built together would be the first step in making their split a more formal permanent state. Since rumors of separation were revealed in January and Mr....

Mr. Dooce Will Delete Your Comments

After the WTF's and confused looks following Jon "Mr. Dooce" Armstrong's post about working with his estranged wife and her bizarre F Bomb Twitter Flipout,  commenters on his site began making remaks and asking questions about Mrs. Dooce and the divorce. It seems last week Jon finally had enough and instituted a new comment policy: Please do not discuss Heather or her site in the comments, thanks. I’ll delete them regardless of how long you’ve been a reader or how concerned you might be. Don’t take it personally, it’s just something that Heather deserves and I want to give her....
