Jenna Cole, professor of Mormon oppression, has apparently been missing from the internet since January 25. While twitter is busy asking where she went, the GOMIBLOG Forum  has been discussing her disappearance as well. GOMIBLOG member Pickle posted a tweet from January 25 telling Jenna "I'm thinking about you right now and praying for you…I can't even imagine what you're feeling…I am so so sorry." Several GOMIBLOG Forum catladies responded with shows of concern, hoping nothing bad had happened to Jenna or her family. Others came up with theories that include That Husband moving to SF without her, death of a relative, and...

If you've been waiting eagerly for Jessica Quirk, of slowly dying 'personal style blog' What I Wore, to start transferring her full time blogging over to ThatsQuirky.com you may be in for a long wait. The blog that never made a bang has gone out with a whimper and is currently password locked, with no explanation. The half-assed attempt at 'lifestyle' blogging previously featured pictures of the house she wanted to buy (removed when the purchase evidently didn't happen), photos of her apartment and her dull attempts at 'decorating', and images of her new kitten. It also randomly featured things she...

Look, I don't give a crap about Kath Younger. I seriously find her boring and not even worth commentary about 99% of the time. But since I received 17 emails demanding I post about this video, here it is: "How To Not Fold Laundry". I'm not sure why this video has everyone's panties in such a wad, honestly. I mean, I don't fold my underwear or sleep stuff either, so I guess you should run me off the internet now. What I do think is worthy of commentary is the fact that for someone who supposedly works out so much,...

In the wake of Jessica Quirk's announcement that she will no longer be accepting "c/o" items, GOMIBLOG has received tips that more bloggers may be forced to join in the "NO C/O" movement. Jen Loves Kev had already decided to no longer accept sidebar ads, and now the blog What Would A Nerd Wear has announced she too will be turning down freebies from companies. Well supposedly we can look forward to similar announcements from more bloggers in the near future. The tipster claims this will be more of a face-saving act on the part of bloggers as companies have...

On January 18, 2012 numerous websites engaged in blackouts as a protest to the hotly-debated SOPA and PIPA acts, which many believed would give big business way too much power over the internet. Brit Moron, ever the trailblazer, decided to eschew the blackout in favor of a much pithier form of dissent: To show our solidarity with today’s SOPA & PIPA blackout, we cooked up a#BlackoutSOPA Blackberry Oreo Crumble. How are you taking action? Yes, creative living juggernaut Brit Moron has BAKED A PIE to show solidarity with the SOPA and PIPA protests. Nothing expresses fear and anger over a substantial increase...

Jenna Cole, open minded and accepting, is using twitter to alert her fans to an atrocious new form of racism: hating Magic Mormon Undies. When her twitter followers pointed out that a religious belief is hardly on par with bigotry against genetics, Jenna attempted to sound intelligent: @hernewleaf No no, the author wasn't implying that Mormonism is a race. The idea is that we mock people who wear "backwards" clothing b/c we...associate that kind of thing with other cultures/races who are uneducated and somehow "less than"...This sentence was key for me: rather, mockery of Mormon temple garments as “magic underwear” could...

As predicted on GOMIBLOG nearly two weeks ago, Heather Armstrong (of dooce.com fame) and her husband are "taking a break". (more…)

Just in case anyone thinks that we just don't have heroes like MLK anymore, I have two words for you: Sarah Lacy. Lacy used to write for TechCrunch, but left last year to start her own project. That project, a news site titled PandoDaily, has launched today. Why should you care? Because with this site Lacy has single-handedly ended sexism for all women everywhere! In one of the first posts on the site, titled "Wait a Minute. I'm a Woman AND I Started a Company?" Lacy explains how she did that whole feminism thing better than any of us could...

Zappos.com, where young female shoe fetishists go when they're too good to shop at Payless, has apparently had a breach. CEO Tony Hsieh sent an email to employees yesterday alerting them their servers had been hacked: We were recently the victim of a cyber attack by a criminal who gained access to parts of our internal network and systems through one of our servers in Kentucky. We are cooperating with law enforcement to undergo an exhaustive investigation. Because of the nature of the investigation, the information in this email is being sent a bit more formally, and unfortunately we are not able to provide any more...

Jake Lodwick, mostly famous for live blogging his relationship with Julia Allison, has finally married his longtime girlfriend Robin Cantrell in a quick and private ceremony. According to Robin's blog the two were married January 4th at San Francisco City Hall - "Just the two of us, on short notice". Congrats to the happy couple! Maybe now we can start calling Jake "Robin's husband" instead of "Julia's ex"!

Brit Morin, of PoopoBrit.com, continues sharing her tips for creative stupidity. She has now provided all her vitamin and egg eating fans with an inspirational list of goals for 2012. Her top ten tips include "take photos of everything you eat", "make something", and "document what you wear". These tips are certain to start an internet revolution, since no one has previously thought of doing such things. The creator of the ABCDE diet also advises her readers to "Introduce yourself to a random person at a coffee shop and ask them about their story", because if there's one thing people love...

Jenna Cole, head counselor of the MENSA summer camp known as "That Wife", glories in being an uninformed ass. More importantly she enjoys attention, so she can't possibly have a thought and keep it to herself. To that end, she spent her Thursday tweeting* about how we shouldn't keep books in libraries because poor people don't use them anyway: I know this is a common argument, but low income largely use the Internet, no?...I think libraries should stop funneling so much money toward physical books and look toward digital options...buy less books, invest in more ebooks (which tax payers want)...

Monica Bielanko, writer of "The Girl Who" blog, is assessing the damage after part of her rental house caught fire. Thankfully they were home at the time, giving Monica a chance to get some twitter attention: I don't know how people normally deal with a house fire, but I'm guessing standing on the lawn tweeting about it in capslock is not the usual way it's handled. Oh well, at least everyone is safely moved to grandma's while they look for a new place to live. I guess we can assume her husband was the one who made sure everyone's survival happened,...

Readers of  Dooce.com are starting to wonder if there's trouble in paradise. Dooce's husband has been publishing vague posts about something being wrong for the last month or so, and regular readers are drawing their own conclusions. A post from December 13 speaks about a "feeling of impending doom" and that he is walking on eggsheles: (more…)

Jen Lula, style blogger, has decided to "simplify" her blog by getting rid of ads and sponsorships. After some deep thought I decided that over the next few months I am going to phase out sponsored ads...there will no longer be ads on the side of my site. There will no longer be giveaways and there will be no more in your face, check out these sponsors posts. Sometimes, I really feel like this takes away the integrity of a blog. She has decided to use the time she was spending monetizing her blog on more enriching pursuits, such as...

Brit Morin, the mastermind behind PoopoBrit.com, is starting a new diet today. What is this brilliant new eating plan? It its Brit's self-created "ABCDE" diet. For 14 days Brit will consume nothing but almonds, broccoli, chicken, vitamin D, and eggs. Why ABCDE? Great question. It turns out, these are some of the most basic, but most nutritious foods out there. You could live off of them alone. Plus, I needed a pneumonic device to remember them all, hence the alphabetical title ;) I'm curious to know who told her all you need to live are a few eggs, some nuts,...

Kim Baker, the blogger formerly known as "Anthroholic", may eventually have to answer for her behavior. A source tells us that to their knowledge at least five people have filed complaints with the FBI - not exactly an avalanche of complaints, but our source hopes it is enough to spark at least a cursory investigation: There was a bit of paperwork involved in filing the complaints so it took us all a while to get it done but it's done. I don't know if anyone else has filed but I know the five of us have completed the process...I'll let...

Happy post-Christmas, people. Hope you're all making it through your hangovers, returning gifts, hitting the sales, or sitting at work with a heart full of post-holiday relief. I wonder what the internets did to celebrate the day chosen by a panel of men hundreds of years ago in order to make nice with the pagans? Let's have a look! Project: Baby did one of their patented "drag the bed out in the forest and pretend we're in a Paula Cole video" photoshoots: ...and then shared some story about a flesh present: The first and most incredible Christmas gift came wrapped...

Taza whoever, queen bee of the twee Mormon mommy blogging brigade (sorry Nat the Fat Rat), ensured at least a week's worth of gushing fangirl traffic by announcing her next pregnancy via hipsterific Christmas e-card. As you can see above (from the picture she posted the following day) she's about 5 minutes into her second trimester, so the mommy blogging fanclub can look forward to 5 more months of "I'm having another baby! Two kids under 5 how will I deal with it!" posts. Meanwhile, how are those of us without perfect/photogenic/sober families spending the holidays?

Tina Haupert, runs some "Carrots 'N' Cake" healthy living blog, recently received an email from the producers of the Dr. Oz show: So, I bet you’re wondering how this whole thing happened, right? Well, I’m going to tell you. It started on November 15th when I received an email from the producers at The Dr. Oz Show inviting me to submit a recipe to their first ever Healthy Holiday Cookie Challenge. She allegedly implied this was a personal invitation - except the actual email included in the original post showed otherwise. The email supposedly invited her to submit a holiday cookie recipe, and encouraged...
