White people like to publish

I guess it was inevitable. "Stuff White People Like" was a great and extremely funny blog when I found it the first time. Since then it's become selfabsorbed and self-promotory - typical white blog reactions to success I guess. And now it turns into a book.

The blog and the author was interviewed on Racialicious, and he appears very likeable, and yes, he agrees, the blog pokes fun of himself more than of anybody else.

But the whitest thing of all is to laugh at yourself and your friends, relatives and neighbours in public and get paid handsomely for it - or at least get published.

Women and golf

An interesting detour on a day when I suddenly find myself free to write and I really enjoy writing and I am having a great time and I just need to check a reference and I didn't find it but I found an article about women in golf clubs and damn, that had nothing to do with it, but was interesting, because golf is a game too and women golfers are women gamers and what this study tells us sounds all too familiar.

Enjoy.
