Davidson, the 34-year-old Sherman Oaks TV producer, screenwriter and "Words For My Enjoyment" blog author, was pleased with the review, "He puts words in their mouths" we did of his book in Sunday's sports page 2 (except for getting his age 10 years off) and for getting the "really lost" Bobby Bonds blog up for your reading pleasure, following up on the Wilt Chamberlain blog we had up there.

We asked, and Davidson replied, about the world of blogging for those just trying to get up to speed:

Q: What blogs do you read on a daily basis?
A: The latest one is the L.A. gossip site, Defamer.com, because I like the guy and the stuff is really snarky. It's really no-holds barred about Hollywood with great tips.
I read all the "-ist" sites, like LAist.com.
LA Observed is pretty good.
I'm endlessly fascinated by Technorati.com, how the software works, tagging subject matter. It's a good way to gauge who's reading about what.
Bloglines.com is another thing that makes reading blogs easier. Instead of going to each site, you bookmark all the sites you read, and if there's something bold, it means a new post is there and it opens it for you. You can power through 100 blogs to see what people are talking about.

Q: What drives you not only to do this book of made-up blogs, but just blogging in general day after day?
A: It's having a brain that's able to go to a lot of places. I've had my blog up now for 2 1/2 years and have written every single day. Humor writing on a daily basis keeps me sharp.

Q: What were the criteria for the 135 famous people you choose to make up blogs for?
A: Originally, it was about 200 figures from history, and it's finding a joke that people will know these people for. It's a tough process to define. I'd come up with someone, ask some friends if they knew who it was, and if 80 percent could tell you, that'd go in the book. From there it was a matter of doing research and infusing all the real details.

Q: What kind of sports fan are you?
A: Not a huge one, but I love to watch. Anything I'm interested in, I do the point of being OCD. The things that scare me about sports is that the minute I'm obsessed with a team, that's all I can do. I'm a fan of football and hockey, but not so much baseball. I had especially fun with the James Naismith blog where he keeps coming up with rules for basketball that aren't going to work, like the do-over rule, or if someone makes a basket in seven steps, then it counts for seven points.

Q: Is there a sequel, with the other famous people who didn't make it in the first time?
A: We're talking about a TV pilot based on the book, an animated show, actually. It's being able to think on your feet and come up with quick, funny ideas, especially for this book. It's funny because people ask all the time, 'Are books dying?' Do people read books now because of the Internet? People still love to hold a book to read it, and this book has kind of fallen into the category of a quick read, which puts it into the category of bathroom reading. But if that's why people are buying it, looking for a quick laugh then I'm happy to fill that void.
