A few readers have told me that WWdN is nominated for Best Big Name Blog in the 2004 Best of the Blogs awards, so I headed over there to see who else was nominated, and to perhaps correct the assertion that I'm a Big Name anything.

Holy crap, am I in some good company. Namely, Tony Pierce and Dooce.

So look, here's the thing: If you're going to go there and vote, you'd better vote for Tony. Right now he only has 13 votes, and that's because I can only vote once a day. I'm serious. This isn't some sort of false humility -- it's a fact. Tony Pierce writes one of the best (and more often than not THE best) blogs on the Internets. Go read his site if you doubt me. Tony is fearless, funny, and talented. And pick up his book How To Blog while you're there.

Back Injuries

Talking On Your Mobile Phone May Cause
Back Injuries 11/18/2003 01:53 PM
There have been all sorts of worries about damage you can do to yourself when talking on a mobile phone - from causing cancer to driving accidents to cutti ng yourself off from the world. Now, a new study suggests that if you talk on your mobile phone while walking, you may do damage to your back. Actually, the study showed that any talking and walking can put your back at risk - because our breathing patterns are designed to support our back as each foot hits the ground. However, talking while walking changes the breathing pattern and provides less support. It's bad when you're just walking and talking, but it's particularly problematic for people who walk around while using their mobile phones. So... now we can't use mobile phones while driving, and you shouldn't use mobile phones while walking. It appears that mobile phones are becoming a lot less mobile.

One of them bears Homer Simpson's mug on its front hood. Link to flickr gallery. J-Walk blog phonecammed some of these cars in LA, too: Lin k. (Thanks, Sean Bonner, and fattymarmot!).
