Alanched: That rant last night about Mark Cuban’s (my favorite billionare blogger) misguided call for canceling inauguration festivities spiked the traffic around here earlier today when Jeff Jarvis sent some link love my way (what’s that?, a buzzmalance?) and then, in one of those events that makes any blogger feel like Sally Fields receiving an Oscar, Glenn Reynolds “instalanched” me.

(Wow. Last year I was Farked, and now I’ve been instalanched. If only I could get that “why nothing will soon kill the iPod” post slashdotted and then I could retire. No way could I continue doing this weblog if it had more than seven readers.)
