From Rafe Needleman: I keep a small blog, rafeneedleman.com. By small, I mean it doesn’t get a lot of traffic. Yet nearly every time I mention a startup company in it, I quickly get an e-mail from the CEO regarding the post. How is it possible that such a small blog can be so widely…

Zorn asks, and I deliver. The object of his blogging (and therefore indirectly my blogging), is Barabara’s blogging about Eric’s blogging: [Reading Zorn] can suck away your time, though, so watch out if you are on the clock at work and start reading Zorn.

The #2 guy in the FBI at the time was Deep Throat. I never focused closely enough to play the guessing game, but this is obviously a big deal…

It was great fun catching up with Josh Marshall a couple weeks back in NYC; we’ve known each other for nearly ten years and over the past five years or so it’s really been incredible to watch his career trajectory. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Anyway, one of the things we talked about was…

I have noticed one of their reported bug-fixes: no more cryptic error messages during site rebuilds! I’d long ago learned to ignore them, but it’s nice to know that they really were harmless (and equally nice…

Jake assures me that today’s Tribune has a picture accompanying this story about Joe Trippi’s new venture. In that picture is a curious sight: Joe Trippi holding a diet Coke. Say it ain’t so! What next? He’s secretly working for the GOP?

I’m looking forward to going to Gnomedex this year; it’ll be my first time, looks like it’ll be a ton of fun. Fellow Naperville blogger Mike Marusin will be there… who else that swings by here from time to time will be in Seattle next month?
