Want to Make Money Doing What You Like to Do?

Start a blog! If it's funny enough and/or gets enough hits, you'll end up with a lucrative deal.

One of the first blogs I've studied, the Julie/Julia project, was first made into a book and is now being made into a movie. Meryl Streep is playing Julia Child and Amy Adams is playing Julie Powell.

Nice work if you can get it!

Dooce Redux

We mentined DOOCE at the beginning of the semester, but you may have forgotten about her. Dooce was the first person fired from her job for blogging, and hence, has become a verb as in "to be dooced." She has also been ranked one of the top 5 most influential bloggers in the world today.

However, I still don't think I've impressed upon you just how entertaining she is. This entry from Tuesday might help. She could even help us talk about Twittering, the new way of blogging from your cell phone. At the very least, she has done a great deal to destigmatize depression.
