update--Oct 31

So, I decided that I would tackle John Miedema's new project I, Reader and actually focus on something for once...and promptly got the flu and couldn't focus on anything more complex than TeenNick for days. I've been reading romance ebooks and staring mindlessly into space. I'm finally starting to recover, and I have spent this evening putting together a radio show for tomorrow and trying to focus. I always take on too much, so besides I, Reader I have listened to a little Howard Rheingold. I peeked at Studio 20 @NYU which is a place for training journalist of the future, reminded myself that I am supposed to be coming up with conversation with my friend Phil about whether print newspapers are going to survive and whether they should.

Every time I log in to read twitter I add another half dozen interesting things and people to follow, not the least of whom is the incomparable @mikecane and his gang of charming associates. This is all by way of explaining just why I never get anything (including the dishes) done.
