Making the rounds on Facebook today is a totally asinine article from the Wall Street Journal, called 'The Mommy Business Trip.'

In it, writer Katherine Rosman manages to reduce popular women's blogging, lifestyle and crafting conferences to a way for stay-at-home moms to party without their husbands or kids-- and by "party," I mean, sleep late, dance, tweet, and most importantly, raid the minibar.

In case you're having trouble visualizing such debauchery, the WSJ helpfully provided a graphic, with drawings of these so-called moms, all of whom appear to be visiting our planet from the year 1983.

The online version also includes a video interview with Rosman, who can barely conceal her eyerolls as she describes some of the most popular conferences, including Mom 2.0, which is taking place next week (and where our own Tracy Odell is speaking).

Predictably, bloggers are going public with their fury. See what they have to say after the jump.

Crowdfunding may seem too good to be true: you have a great idea, you create a web page, and a month later, you have enough money (hopefully) to bring your idea to fruition. For countless artists, writers, and filmmakers, sites like Kickstarter have let them do just that. Here are some tips and tricks for making a great crowdfunding request to get your amazing idea off the ground.

First, a little on crowdfunding. Kickstarter and Indiegogo are the two major crowdfunding platforms. Users can visit their pages and "pledge" amounts to get certain rewards, including products. Each reward should be an item -- a T-shirt, a movie, a video game -- and each product should be something people want. Most crowdfunding efforts compartmentalize rewards into different tiers and leave one "entry level" tier that includes a personal note or postcard from the creator.

My 7-year-old is drawn to infomercial products like a fly to the Bug Zapper Racket ... like a dog to Bark Off ... like a senior citizen to the EZ Eyes Keyboard ... like a mom to those Meaningful Beauty products Cindy Crawford will practically bring to your door. In fact, my little princess is convinced the holidays will be a total disaster without a Big Top Cupcake.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been smitten with some of those infomercial inventions myself. I own a couple of Snuggies, for instance -- everyone in the commercials looks so comfy on their couches while reading books and not feeling fettered by the constraints of a blanket. I've bought P90X, and Moon Sand, and Blendy Pens, and even Pillow Pets (before they sold them everywhere from Walmart to Shell stations).

In fact, some of them are positively irresistible and I want to buy them as gifts. Here are a few I find both ridiculous and at the same time inexplicably appealing:

I recently flew an airline with "open seating." Which basically means you get an assigned boarding number (like at a deli counter) and you must fend for yourself and your family from there.

As I walked the aisle, I quickly assessed my potential row-mates. Had they recently showered? Would they take initiative in an emergency? Are they so young that they're in diapers? Are they so old that I may need to resuscitate them during the flight?

When I finally picked my seat, the look on my new neighbor's face was one of total disdain. What I wanted to say was, "Look at me lady, it could be worse -- the woman behind me has a colicky infant and the guy behind her has something that sounds like the plague!"

As a nervous flier, I'm easily annoyed about things that happen on planes (clearly). So I thought I'd "air" some of my grievances about flying.

Within minutes of Mitt Romney addressing a presidential debate question on equal pay for equal work by bragging that he looked through "binders full of women" to hire a few when he was governor, the meme caught on FIYAH. But get this -- within just TWO minutes of the catch phrase leapt from Mitt Romney's mouth, the domain name for BindersFullofWomen.com was scooped up. Wow! Someone was on it, huh?

Turns out the buyer was American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic super PAC. And they've already turned it into a Tumblr-style site that presents Romney's disturbing record on women's issues. Definitely the most sensical use of the site. But had the buyer been someone else, WHO KNOWS what kind of other wild and crazy uses they could have put BindersFullofWomen.com to?! Here, a few possibilities ...

Tumblr blogs may be the hipsters of the online world, but they're popular for a reason -- the so-called 'microblogging platform' is insanely easy to use, and custom-designed to allow users to quickly share (and re-share) various types of media content. There are food tumblrs, fashion tumblrs, music tumblrs, news tumblrs, celebrity tumblrs … basically, if you can think of it, there's a tumblr for it. (For instance, Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, which is exclusively focused on three things: Tom Selleck, waterfalls, and sandwiches.)

As for me, I'm partial to the tumblrs that are devoted to extracting humor from weird, semi-embarrassing photos of animals. (I even made my own!) If you get a strange kick out of animals being stripped of their dignity, check out these 10 hilarious tumblr blogs:

There are a whole slew of women (and men) ogling Paul Ryan (thank you TMZ for the latest photo) and thousands more wondering what Paul Ryan Gosling has to do with any of it. I'll tell you ... it's simple. There is a whole lot of sexy going around and Paul Ryan and Ryan Gosling both fit the bill. Add some hilarious (and often politically pointed) commentary and you get yourself talking points that may not win an election -- but are sure to get some, well, a little heated.

We've already talked about the whole "Hey Girl" meme thing -- but the fact it's now happening on a variety of Twitter and Tumblr accounts as well -- well, it is genius.

There's not much about Evan Rachel Wood that I get. She seems like one of those chicks who was really cool in school and smoked cigarettes against brick walls and had the hot history teacher's cellphone number. Certainly not anything I can relate to. Nowadays, the 24-year-old actress is still emitting the cool-girl vibe -- she posted a video showing her getting her nose pierced. Rad. The former True Blood star apparently isn't shy about stakes going through body parts and doesn't seem at all fazed by the new hole in her nose.

Thing is, though, I could've done without this video. In fact, I could do without these 5 other things celebs have shared online. TMI, people. TMI.
