    A day job can be a catalyst or a killer for a blog. A catalyst if that day job provides ‘net access and lots of desk time. A killer when… well, there isn’t so much sit time. As I mentioned nearly two months ago, I have moved to Chicago from the much smaller burgh of…

  • Where Ya Been?

    This little ol’ blog celebrates its eighth birthday this month, which is pretty damn old for a blog, you must admit.

  • Hello Great Barrington

    Just learned of another new affiliate to the radio show. Berkshire Community Radio, WBCR-LP 97.7 FM in Great Barrington, MA, has been carrying the program, bringing the number of broadcast affiliates to 12. Not bad, considering my main means of promotion is just this website. If you work with a non-profit, non-commercial, community or public…
