It’s busy around here, which is why posting to the blog is sparse (to put it kindly). But the other day — really in passing, the way a bird might fly past the window, and the window is your life as you’re standing there and living it, except I was moving and the window was […]

One more article is up on my Articles published in FOCUS Magazine, Victoria, Canada page, in continuing the project mentioned here and here.

If you read nothing else today (in the next 20 minutes, anyway), at least read Warren Kinsella’s on-target, surgically-precise commentary on blogging, The Rise of the Pyjamahadeen, in the September 2007 issue of The Literary Review of Canada.

On August 21 I wrote about the scandal brewing at Black Press here in Victoria, which I learned about through — and which was otherwise consistently covered only by — local political writer and blogger Sean Holman.
