Chritian Lander, author of the widely popular blog and book Stuff White People Like will be giving a free talk at CMU on Tuesday.

If you haven’t checked it out before – Stuff White People Like – is a list of things that has been called the preppie handbook for today’s generation. It is fascinating and often totally hilarious.

I think this will be an interesting talk to hear about how a blog became so successful so quickly.

Here is a clip of Christian on Lopez Tonight:
