Here are links I found interesting on January 4, 2012:
- R.I.P. Personal Branding – "People are people. They aren’t brands. When people become “brands,” they stop being people and become one of three things: vessels for cultural archetypes, characters in a narrative, or products." Yep.

- Spam Finds a New Target – Fighting spam on Facebook and Twitter.
- 25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing – Excellent advice for real writers.
- Why do Americans still dislike atheists? – Good question. You'll never meet a more reasonable and well-grounded group of people.

- Video: Play ‘Come Together’ on New Year’s Eve – God, I feel old.
- It depends on the meaning of ‘nothing’ – More about Obama's accomplishments.
- Tomorrow’s GOP Spin Today – "GOP, Supporters Now Claiming Obama Didn't Accomplish Much. How Do They Explain Student Loan Reform, Dodd-Frank, Recovery Act, And Auto Rescue?" I've said it before and I'll say it again: Why let the truth ruin a good attack campaign?
- Debt Limit: A Guide to American Federal Debt Made Easy – This would be funny if it weren't so tragically true.
