On the evil of excuses and books

From various blogs that I read daily, I found this link to an amusing article about bloggers who make excuses about why they can't blog. I sure won't be doing that anymore.

So, apparently the big problem in sports today is the fact that people are writing books about the subject. Take that, eggheads!

Hayao Miyazaki is on Time Magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People. That's good. Ann Coulter is also on the list. That's bad. Art Spiegelman (Maus, In the Shadow of No Towers) gives graphic novel writers some representation. That's good. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci code is still resonating with people despite the fact that it's primarily eschewed in writing circles. That's bad. The very lonely Kim Jong Il is also there…can I go now?
