The Great Blog-Offis coming- so far 8 bloggers will be madly competing for 24 hours to find the best links on the web on an as-yet-unknown topic. A lesson in futility or potentially dirty, self-absorbed fun? Discuss amongst yourselves.

I don't have time to discuss amongst myself. I'm in the first round, starting tonight at Midnight EST. And the last I've heard, Neale is still accepting nitwits - I mean - volunteers to fill out the field of 8. Come on, baylink! It could keep you out of trouble on MeFi for at least 24 hours...

The first round of the blog-off has begun, and wendell has made a roaring start. Where's Mike? Maybe he has something up his sleeve...

Yeah, I think it's needle marks. But frankly, I don't care; I'm just going to do my thing, use all the good ideas I can come up with in the first few hours, then sit back, watch him take his inevitable low-ball shots and rely on the good will of the Weblogging community to see me through. I'm doomed.

"... the good will of the Weblogging community ..."

That's the funniest thing I've seen on MetaFilter in weeks.

Things are really starting to heat up now. Only four and a half hours to go. Man, there are a lot of links.
