Scooter Thomas Writes For eHow

We poked a little fun at some of the advice being offered on eHow.com earlier this week, but little did we know that someone in the Vore household has already been publishing his work there. He’s got some advice to offer here, here and here. He has also apparently devised a strategy for finally conquering that fiendish red pen light here. No word yet on how exactly he’s being compensated for this (apparently eHow pays by the number of hits), but we guess he’s saving up for a new Kitty Hooch toy or something.

UPDATE: In his first 20 hours as an eHow member, Scooter Thomas has somehow managed to accumulate 41 friends. We’re not sure how many of them know he is a cat.

The New Yorker profiles Bon Iver

Does The New Yorker think it needs to go after the indie rock demographic or something? First Will Oldham, and this week Justin Vernon, a k a Bon Iver (#3 on Voreblog’s Best of 2008 list). Vernon’s profile, by Sasha Frere-Jones, is far less — how should we say? — scattershot than the Oldham piece. And it’s the first time we’ve seen anyone explain where the name Bon Iver came from. (Hint: It’s from Northern Exposure.) Go read it.
