Julian Bond's Celebrity Blogmatch. I'm not sure how it works, but if I say something about weblogs here, I guess it shows up over there. Is it based on RSS? Julian says not yet, but maybe sooon. Can his server handle the flow? Will his page rise to the top of Daypop? What do the opinions of two bloggers matter in this crazy world we live in? And will the wienerboys show up? So many questions. BTW, the correct motto is "It's even worse than it appears."

By the way, don't forget to VOTE at the bottom of the page. While Winer did give his (increasingly papal) blessing to this page, I have a sneaking suspicion he's not going to mention it on his own blog. If he does, I'm fucked. Dave is the undisputed (until now) 800-pound gorilla of blogspace. If he sends over the 32 billion people who read scripting.com, I'm gonna take a fall. Please do what you can to prevent this unseemly eventuality. The tattered remnants of my reputation are at stake. Oh, and it goes without saying (almost), them what has bloggers should BLOG THIS MATCH!

...and possibly: The Case for Personal Web Publishing

This recent interview with Winer introduces him as "the godfather of Weblogging." Not without cause. He's also a tricky bastard, using this opportunity to articulate some deceptively cogent ideas. This is no doubt to distract from the picture topping the article, in which he bears an uncanny resemblance to either Osama bin Laden or Britney Spears in Hasidic drag. Ask yourself: why is this man smiling?

Your search - "Britney Spears in Hasidic drag" - did not match any documents.

I think we can legitimately conclude from this that Winer is running a deeply covert operation.
