Hey guys, voting for the Webby People’s Voice awards ends today, so how about you go over and vote for How Stuff Works in the Best Copy/Writing category? A vote for them is a vote for Chuck! And for me! Yes, you have to register, but suck it up and do it. DO IT.

I’ve noticed that the blog has had a big drop in activity lately. I don’t know if people are simply busy, if I’m losing readership, if I haven’t been blogging about anything worth discussing, or what. It’s probably a combination of a lot of things.

How are you going to spend yours?

Coldplay is going to do a free concert at Madison Square Garden. Not many details right now, but interesting publicity stunt, eh?

And I also keep hearing Andie Walsh screaming in my head, “What about PROM, Blaine? WHAT ABOUT PROM!”
