Techmeme receives a love letter from the New York Times
I’ve tried many times over the years to kick my habit of checking in numerous times a day to see what’s on Techmeme. I’ve always failed. Because I was an early fan of Gabe Rivera and his approach to aggregating … Continue reading
Why do I blog? So people will meet in the comments, fall in love and get married
A few years ago, when a couple told me they first met one-another through comments they posted on this blog, I was dumbfounded for two reasons: 1. Because this is more a “personal” blog than a “topical” blog, the “community … Continue reading
Things I keep learning about magazines (and much more) by blogging
If you’re attending,my session is next Wednesday. Next Wednesday, I’m speaking in Toronto at MagNet, the annual conference jointly produced by a several organizations related to the magazine industry in Canada. (I wonder why such groups in the U.S. can’t … Continue reading
The best thing about blogging
I’ve been so jammed with projects the past few days (yes, even through the weekend), I haven’t done my usual ego roundup checks (don’t tell me you don’t have a Google alert set up for your name). So I’ve been … Continue reading
I’m getting all verklempt: The Nashville Technology Council Awards
This post, in what I’d say if I were wearing my editor’s cap, “buries the lede.” But hey, this is my blog and rambling before getting to the point is part of what I do and who I am. Last … Continue reading
FTC moves to regulate paid blog endorsements
On July 28, 2005, I blogged this: “I say podcasting won’t officially be mainstream until it has its first payola scandal.” I thought of that short post (these, days, such a short post would have been relegated to Twitter) when … Continue reading

I can’t go through these few days each year without thinking back to 2005 and how I anticipated Katrina approaching the gulf coast leading up to August 29 and then gradually realized the severity of what was taking place. By … Continue reading

First, I’d like to blame the media and bloggers
In Tennessee, a state senator resigned late yesterday in the final stage in a political scandal scenario that has become such a cliche that I developed a nine-step, fill-in-the-blanks version of it two years ago: 1. Politician _______s. 2. Rumors … Continue reading
The Pushbutton Web
In a high-level tech-philosophic fashion, the ever-thoughtful Anil Dash writes about The Pushbutton Web, and the technology pieces, approaches and standards that must fit into place for “real time” to become actually “real time.” Quote from Anil: “Pushbutton is a … Continue reading
How to blog
Dave Winer and Danny Sullivan have, in the past 24 hours, both written very personal blog posts about their reactions to the Henry Louis Gates arrest controversy. Both posts are personal and provocative, and both remind me how much I … Continue reading
It’s official: The AP is absolutely nuts
I’ve tried to avoid speaking out regarding reports about the Associated Press’ plans for the future. I’ve done so because AP executives and board members have a habit of saying lots of things that are later “corrected” after they stick … Continue reading
Remembering Uncle Walter
And that’s the way it is. I’m sure that people under a certain age aren’t understanding why those of us over that same certain age are making such a big deal over the death of Walter Cronkite. Here’s one way … Continue reading
Tennessee media apparently don’t believe Steve Jobs’ liver transplant is a story, much less a local story
About 11 p.m., Friday, WSJ.com broke a story about Steve Jobs having a liver transplant in Tennessee. 12 hours later, no Tennessee media outlet has picked up the story or has sought to answer the obvious questions: Where (what hospital)? … Continue reading
Forget meetups, eat-ups taste better
My friend Carrington Fox of the Nashville Scene’s food blog, Bites, decided she needed to meet some of the folks who actively comment on that blog so she did what any good foodie blogger should do, she invited lots of … Continue reading
