Top 100, Humor & Entertaiment
Over at Amazon, they apparently just changed the Entertainment chart to "Humor & Entertainment". Fine with me. WMFL, snuck onto that' chart's top 100 overall for all books on Amazon again (42 days and counting!). Happy to say it's still the #1 bestselling Kindle book in the category of "Television"
New Videos From Last Week
So, I've been posting videos over at my new video site: WORDSUSHI.TV
The plan is to just turn on the camera and record some stuff. Here's the first couple of entries.
Thank You For Ordering Transistor Rodeo

Pet Lizard Wears Helmet, Rides Scooter
I know it looks like something from The Onion, but this is a real newspaper clipping. I honestly don't know from when. I think it's something my mom sent to me over 20 years ago. I must have scanned it 7 or 8 years ago and just came across it again on an old hard drive.
Enjoy… and if you happen to track down this Mike Lee kid, I want to know how many wedgies he received because of this story. I think the over/under is 19.

PCH: Lowering the Bar for Sainthood…
Wow. Here we are at episode 9 already. One more episode left in this season! So we ask the question: Are we indeed lowering the bar for sainthood? Is it just becoming some kind of popularity contest? Maybe it should be a reality show? Either way, Mike and I sink our teeth into this weighty topic.
And yes, we recorded this show like a month ago…
Oh, and one of PCH's most offensive bits ever!

What I Enjoyed About Blogworld LA 2011
(Interviewing Anji Bee in the .TV studio at Blogworld. Photo by Ryan Lum)
A handful of years ago, in the early days of podcasting, there were a couple of podcasting conventions held in Ontario, California, an industrial hub about 90 miles outside of L.A. that is about as fun to visit as the orthodontist. Those early podcast conventions were really awful. Blogworld L.A. was nothing like that. In fact, Blogworld L.A rocked.
In the old Ontario podcast expo days, it was fun to finally meet some of the friends you've made face-to-face and it was nice to share a drink or a meal with colleagues. But honestly, the whole new-media world back then was really made up of indie podcasters, most of whom were doing it as a hobby and the divide over the "haves" and "have nots" certainly brought out a level of obnoxious, petty behavior one would normally associate with children who were never hugged enough. Even the podcasting network Podshow, with whom I was signed, made the biggest douchebaggy move of all by insisting on having a massive stretch Hummer limo shuttling the select few invitees to their hospitality suite off-site a couple miles away. When I look back on those days, the whole thing seemed so unrefined and regrettable.
Fast forward to Blogworld LA 2011. I had avoided these Blog-New Media conventions like the plague for the last couple of years. This year I went as a part of the .TV team (I'm a .TV advocate) playing the part of on-camera host for many hours of live streaming interviews and coverage of the show. I can tell you that not only was it fun, but it was a fantastic time. I promise to write a future post for the blog over at Watch.TV detailing more of my Blogworld experiences, but the point I wanted to make here on Wordsushi was that, to my surprise, Blogworld attendees were predominantly made up of professionals. People who were writing blogs for the companies they work for, brand marketers, etc… No longer was it indie folks bitching about shit, it was pros talking about what was possible and sharing tips for how to make it happen.
Back in the wild west days of podcasting, lots of folks complained that it was the money that was ruining new media, now we see that it's monetization and the fact that more people are able to make a living doing and consulting about new media that really made this industry finally grow up.
I did see a bunch of friends and folks I've known since those olden podcasting days and the common joke we all shared was about being survivors. Every single one of us has parlayed our early indie experiences into career and brand-growing opportunities. All of us have expanded what we were originally doing and continue to thrive in new media… and all those annoying whiners and posers from the days of yore… there wasn't a single one in sight.

Two #1 Bestselling Books
Awesome, awesome night hosting a 2 hour livestream over at Watch.TV/BlogworldLA from the roof of nightclub ICON, (with lots of great interviews). and then I get back to my hotel room to find that TWO of my books (Where's My F*cking Latte and The Killing of Osama Bin Laden) are both #1 on their respective Amazon Kindle Bestseller lists.

I'll Be at Blogworld
I've become a paid advocate for .TV domains. That means, they're sending me on an all-expense paid trip to Blogworld! Okay, so it's not "all" expenses paid. I do have to cover my own in-room movies (ahem) if you know what I mean… and it is here in L.A. but I'm going to be at BLOGWORLD L.A. on Friday and Saturday with a live camera crew interviewing people for Watch.TV about video, video apps… all kinds of cool stuff on how to create video and so on… I can't wait. If you happen to be at Blogworld, look for me at the .TV/Verisign booth which we're turning into a whole TV studio or look for me on the floor… where you can usually find me face down and passed out.

PCH: You're in Trouble…
Here we are already at episode 8. Only two more after this one left in this season! Today, well… I'd like to say we're not engaging in a discussion about public urination, fat chicks and what happened to Ghadaffi… I'd like to say so, but it wouldn't be true. Oh, and today's word for some reason is "sodomazado"…
