From around the travels and travails of this humble bloggery, come a few tidbits worthy of note:
My particular friend Andrea Batista Schlesinger was named to Crains' "40 Under 40" list of hot, young, up-and-coming New Yorkers this week and no one deserves it more. Andrea captains the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy, a progressive think tank that focuses on middle class economic issues (I swab the decks as a board member). Many of you have gotten involved in DMI either virtually or in person through me, so I though I'd pass this along to readers. Be sure to watch the video.
Mysteriously, my blogging buddy Pete Townshend has taken his personal journal down from the web. This does not make me happy, as Pete is the rare "mega-star" who writes about his real life, takes chances, and desn't pull punches. It could be that the UK celeb press was forever taking a long thoughtful post of Pete's and turning it into headlines like this: Pete Townshend Says His Dogs Talk To Him. Hopefully Pete'll be back soon.
Another UK blogging mate, the RH Tom Watson, also known as "the other Tom," has redesigned his site and it's quite snappy. Go take a look (and quietly ask him to restore his blogroll).
Finally, everyone's favorite ringleader Shakespeare's Sister (aka Melissa McEwan) has been hired by the Edwards campaign as netroots coordinator. What a catch for the former Senator, whose odds for the nomination just went up.
