News I can do without: One of the more disgusting stories you’re likely to read today includes a sentence every aspiring journalist hopes one day he or she will get the chance to write: “McMinnville Police Lieutenant John Morgan said he saw Homer Lee Disher spit in his hashbrowns on Monday morning.”

Thanks: A big shout-out thanks to Dylan Stableford at Folio: for pointing to KeepCookin.org, a blog we’ve set up to support the folks at Louisiana Cookin Magazine. Get used to it: I’m going to keep mentioning Keep Cookin until you go over there and purchase a subscription from them. Okay. So go ahead and do it.

I especially like the part where Dylan says, “Hammock Publishing, the Nashville-based custom publishing firm fronted by popular b-to-b blogger Rex Hammock.”

I guess that means I have officially reached some type of tipping point. The leading trade publication in my profession (as in, the business field I’m in) now describes me as “the blogger who fronts a publishing company” — rather than as a publishing company executive who blogs.

That’s okay with me.

Who knows? Maybe one day, Hammock Publishing will be known as those bloggers who publish magazines.

Blog lite advisory: I’m travelling to some afternoon/morning meetings in D.C. on an airline without a satellite TV feed or on-board wifi. I feel so primitive. (But their landing gears typically work, so I’m not complaining.) Back online tonight.
