Martha Stewart is strange creature. On one hand, she has some great ideas for crafts, cooking, and general household matters. She built an empire. Hell, people who used to work for her go on to have great careers. (see Beakman Boys) On the other hand, that show she has on PBS is fakety-fake-fake-fake. And she is one of the most condescending, snobby, name-dropping hosts I've seen on t.v.

Hmm...I don't think Martha Stewart is evil. I have a cookbook of hers that is "Great Food Fast". OTOH, I donated Rachael Ray's. Too fatty. But I like Ray Ray's spunk. I do not aspire to be Martha, by any means.

Joanne's blog was awesome.

I don't think the physical book is dead (I read that blog too). Paper rules.

Julia, thanks for sharing that, as well as the original link.

Anon and Marcia, thanks for your thoughts and reactions. And Marcia, I actually don't think physical books are dead either, but it's interesting hearing Everett's perspective.
