Hodgman is guest blogging on Boing Boing. Funny guy. If you haven’t read The Areas of my Expertise, you should – it’s hilarious. He’s plugging his new book, More Information Than You Require as well.
He’s also been reading Spam as part of Boing Boing TV’s SPAMasterpiece Theatre.
He really got his big break on the Daily Show, where he was on just as a guest plugging The Areas of My Expertise. They liked him so much, they invited to be their resident expert. That led to his internet fame (especially the hobo name meme from a couple of years ago), and the eventual casting of him as the PC on the commercials.
The audiobook version of The Areas of My Expertise includes Jonathan Coulton, another funny internet celebrity guy: jonathancoulton.com/
