• Wait, seriously? A PR person “pitched” a blogger offering a “pre-written guest post,” unsolicited, without even knowing that the blog or blogger would even care about what sounds like an op-ed? Found this via @brittneyg on Twitter.

Here’s today’s links you need to click.

• Via Len Kendall, I give you “Galactic Empire State of Mind,” from College Humor, of course.

It’s almost 2010 (wow!), and here’s my links you need to click for the day. Enjoy!

• Congrats to Ben and Abbi Wagner on the news of Abbi’s pregnancy. Of course, Ben writes it up in his news-guy style, keeping you waiting until the end, even if you did look at the photo first.
• After Dave busted on me for my top 25-played tracks that were born in the year of our lord 2009, I just had to link to this. Rex points to what last.fm sez are the most unwanted scrobbles – that is, the ones most deleted from last.fm users’ scrobble lists – for 2009. Let’s just say you’re probably not going to be surprised.
• For those of you that aren’t so into the cult of the blog, this post from Wil Wheaton is a perfect example of why it’s awesome that they exist in the first place. Just replace Mr. Wheaton (or don’t, if TNG does it for you) with a musician, actor, politician of your choice, and imagine that they were side-commenting their own career or history, and you’ll see what I mean.
• A couple of weeks back, Twitter released a list of the Top Twitter Trends of 2009. Those of you who get annoyed at my non-100% support of hashtags for all things on Twitter will note that beyond the hashtag-specific category, only 7 made the charts, overall, with real-text taking the cake for the most part. Again, this isn’t to say that they don’t work, only that the “average” user tends to stick to talking in actual words. Just sayin’.
• Check out Brand New’s Best and Worst Identities for 2009 here.
• Did you know that you could use multiple aliases for a given email address on your iPhone? But yes, you can. Here’s the solution for this very request, via Gruber.

• Over at bats:both, I shared some thoughts on the passing of sportscaster George Michael.
• Time Out New York published some link bait for the entire universe by publishing their list of top movies of the decade. I’ll save the wrath of pen (or keyboard) for some of my blogger colleagues, but there’s some brutal choices on there. The “Donnie Darko” fan club will not be happy.
• If they had Facebook in the “Star Wars” universe, it might look something like this.
• I must admit, I spent a ton of time looking over these pager messages from 9/11/01. [via reddit]

• There’s a new Young Jeezy track. Go listen.
• There’s a new Rihanna single out. Buzzworthy compares it to “mid-period Massive Attack.” Go listen.
• Could it be that someone has, in 2009, created the next great pizza box?
• Apple releases new Magic Mouse. Coincidentally, $69 leaves the pockets of thousands and thousands of Americans.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have named Rick Peterson their new pitching coach. In related news, the New York Mets still suck and wonder what happened to their pitching staff. Willie Randolph just laughs.
• Delaware is getting a state park! In other news, it still only takes 15 minutes to drive through the state on I-95 if you have EZPass.
• Your tax dollars at work. Kids need to eat more vegetables and take in less calories. Hey, does this mean that ketchup will finally become a vegetable?
• This comparison of credit scores and their respective owners’ email address domains is more than amusing, and proves that there is indeed a statistic for everything.

Here’s today’s short list of links that are of interest. I’ve got more links, but a lack of time to share. More later this week.

• For the ad lovers out there, check out today’s Q&A w/ Stuart Elliott in the NYT.
• The Yanks are out playing the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, California, USA, North America today, but you can still go to Yankee Stadium, if you were so inclined, to watch the game. I remember doing this during the New York Rangers’ 1994 run to the Stanley Cup, while the team was out in Vancouver. Kind of fun, but it wasn’t like 42 degrees in Madison Square Garden.
• Andy Beal writes about the news that social networking via mobiles has doubled in the last six months. Wow. [via Chris Thilk]
• Dave shared a solid Friday Heh this past week, with the payoff of a Facebook conversation having its way with the “Fresh Prince” theme song and balloon boy.
• Ben Wagner shares some personal perspective and a great way of spelling out what the film adaptation of “Where The Wild Things Are” means to a lot of people.
• This is awesome. That is all.
• Broadband is a privilege, not a right, right? Wrong, if you’re in Finland.
