More Celebration

Mary threw a great party! The programming was awesome, there was plenty to do, and I think I heard only one fan complaining the whole time. Special thanks to Cyndi and Nancy, who kept me in the loop and got me free stuff!

Article news

While I was being a geek in LA, the Times Argus published another article of mine, on authors who connect with readers on the Internet. To most of my friendslist, the most significant aspect of this story is at the end, when I quote one of our favorite Star Wars authors.

Click here for the story.

Another article I wrote is here, on how blogs are being used by college professors. It's not that great of a story, but I am trying to keep a record of my articles here on LJ.

In other Vermont news, the 802 rap video made the New York Times. For a while it was the lead story on the Times' Web site; as a result, hits on YouTube are up to over 84,000. Some of the reactions, though, are disturbing. People need to get a life and a sense of humor. There were a number of people who derided the Times for writing this story: “a clear sign newspapers are a dying bread...when the New York Times fishes around YouTube for this stuff,” said one; “Utterly boring. Thanks for nothing, NYT,” said another; “i just lost some respect for the new york times,” said a third.
