If there's one thing I learned while rebuilding this blog, it's this: building a blog takes some work. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. You're saying to yourself, "gee, John, that's all...phil-o-sophical, dude". Well, you're right. So, when a friend forwarded some musings of Howard Tuttleman to me, I realized that this guy is a genius.

Not only does he get to write his own blog, but he gets Amazon.com to host, manage, and promote it. You're probably saying to yourself, "Who's Howard Tuttleman? What's John talking about? I wonder what I'll have for lunch today..." I can't help you with lunch, but here's the skinny on HT. He appears to be a guy making an artform out of Amazon.com product reviews.

Some of my favorites include his experiment in living a review of A Clockwork Orange, and his interpretation of Nick Drake's Pink Moon. To read some of these brilliant essays, go HERE.
