"Grumpygirl is still my favorite blogger. Her posts are erratic (her last one as of this date was in June) but every one is a gem. And now that she's posted some pix of herself it's an even greater treat to know this fascinating person. Her wit and humor are outrageous and her command of the language is superb. I wonder how long she works on these pieces - they certainly seem to fall easily out of her keyboard. How I'd love to hear her reading her posts on "This American Life." Not that she needs another medium. I think she has developed the perfect style for blogdom. David Weinberger has said that the Web will force an alteration in Warhol's famous statement that TV enables everyone to be famous for at least 15 minutes - the Web, he says, means that now everyone will be famous to at least 15 people! I don't know what kind of following Grumpygirl has but if she keeps at it she could be a star to many more than 15 people.
