I think we're gonna see more of this: McSweeney's online magazine bailed out by the McSweeney family of Boston. Dave Eggers and the folks at McSweeneys.net have been bailed out by the family whose personal website is McSweeneys.com. On a side note, I recently read Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius[Wiki]. I've got a longer rant coming as soon as I can get my content management back to working, but it seems to me that memoirs are filling the character study space that novels used to, but they're not doing it nearly so well. The guy can write, but after a while the book just fades into chattering self-indulgence; there's about a third of a book there.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
