Ok, it’s Christmas time and coming up on my blog’s one year anniversary so I’d gotten you all video iPods–then I watched The Office and saw what evil can come from ignoring the secret Santa $20 spending limit, so I returned them all. I can’t give you kind readers expensive eletronics but I can give you one kick ass lifehack.

This year I’ve gotten you all an online gift certificate for self-esteem. I am giving you (in no particular order) a list of links that are guarenteed to make you feel superior to everyone around you, albeit at the expense of others.

I Work With Fools
Where disgruntaled workers share their inter-office horror stories. If you don’t feel better after reading the one about the employer who saves money by docking people for being late for meetings, there is no help.

The Eggcorn Database
Nothing makes you feel superior better than pointing out other peoples mistakes, especially when they are in writing. The Eggcorn Database gives you a repository of self-image bolstering snippets. It’s like a Powerbar for the ego-impaired.

Blogslot
The guy who brought you Lapsing into a Comma, and The Elephants of Style, BillWalsh, from time to time, derides writers, and other editors for the tiny errors that slip through the cracks.

Query Letters I Love
Take pleasure in watching as Hollywood insiders (and some wannabe insiders) immolate aspiring screenwriter’s life’s work, and not a few egos in the process.

If you know of any others, leave a comment.
