One Post Wonder

We always knew our friend Erin Williams was one smart cookie, but then she launched this piece of Internet genius that's been blowing our minds over the past few days. It's called One Post Wonder (1post1der.blogspot.com), and the concept is deceptively simple: finding, collecting, and excerpting from blogs that include only a single post. We have "Jeffrey," who in December of 2000 thought it'd be a good idea to launch a blog and let the world know "I am retarted." There's Spencer, who wasted a perfectly good URL to share a 6 line poem about stalking... There's tales of drama, intrigue, young romance, extreme boredom, and people pretending to be Elmo from Sesame Street. We don't know whether to laugh or cry or sigh or combine all three into some bizarre laugh-cry-sigh conglomerate that'd probably look and sound very unnerving to an uninitiated bystander.

Now go waste a few hours of your precious work day.
