John Hodgman, cool dork
I think that John Hodgman, author of "More Information Than You Require" and public radio favorite, among other things, is awesome. He is currently being awesome in an interview with Pyschology Today, of all things. A taste:
Where does your children's expertise trump yours?
As you know (or have used private investigators to find out), I have two human children. To protect their privacy, I refer to them only as "Hodgmina" and "Hodgmanillo." They know a lot more about my neighbors than I do, for the common playdate allows the child access to other people's apartments and private lives that no adult will ever enjoy. In fact, it seems to me that children would make very good private investigators. OR HAVE YOU FIGURED THAT OUT ALREADY?
Also, in case you missed it, here's Hodgman's fantastic Radio and TV Correspondents’ Dinner speech. It rivals the classic Colbert appearance.
