(I am parking this comment for catallarchy here while i see if it posted or not - it eventually did.)
Need an agent?
A book deal would be very doable for this blog.
The guy who got me blogging, wil wheaton,[www.wilwheaton.net] got a multi-book deal from his blog, notably Just a Geek.
OK, he's famous, but then, so are you. Jyoti Mishra suggested I write a book, on the basis of comments I'd made at wheaton's blog's forum [www.tehsoapbox.net.] Haven't written a book yet, but I started blogging as a way to ease into it. Wheaton and Mishra are both big on diy; wheaton was self-publishing before he was picked up by O'Reily. Today's he's in vegas researching the next book, of poker stories.
Self-publishing can be as simple as shoveling your blog archives onto a cd and selling it via e-bay, cafepress, and places like ThinkGeek.
Being a published author gives you some additional status in certain circles, whether you sell 12 copies or a million.
