John Hodgman and MB synchronicity
MB synchronicty is defined as when the same thing pops up all across our beloved mediabistro, from blog to shining blog to homepage and back. Today, that has happened with John Hodgman, author of "The Areas of My Expertise" and subject of today's MB feature which explores his famous "Little Gray Books" lectures, his infamous preoccupation with hoboes, and previous career as a literary agent (we've never heard of "Hook Man Speaks" but we're sure he had a whole lot to say. Arrrr, matey!). Any of this sound familiar? It should, otherwise you're not reading enough Fishbowl, and that's very sad. Hodgman and his Little Gray Books were recently the subject of a glowing Fishbowl post, as well as the source of our obsession with the acoustic version of "Baby Got Back" by his sidekick/player of mood music Jonathan Coulton. Aha! But wait, there's more! Hodgman was also the subject of a But wait, there's more! For what is MB synchronicity if not the unschemed, honestly undertaken pure enthusiasm of strangers? And rarely does it get much stranger than Claire Zulkey, Lady and Mistress of mbToolbox, who interviewed Hodgman back in August about, well, all sorts of things including but not limited to remote-controlled zeppelins. But wait, there's... actually, that's it, though we do have four wonderful other blogs: Fishbowls DC, LA and TV (aka TVNewser) and the stylicious Unbeige, all of whom are feeling a little left out. Don't worry kids, you can link to this post. Fun!
The point is, MB synchronicity is COOL. No, Hook Man, I don't want to shake your hand. Pitching a Former Literary Agent: John Hodgman [MB] Related:
