FINALLY found a home for my essay, “Goodbye Troll: a blogger’s manifesto” over at The Women’s Colony:

Make No Mistake: this kind of harassment can be as frightening and as real as being followed and watched in your neighborhood or in your home. ~Vice President Al Gore
The first comment was rather innocuous, albeit grammatically incorrect: “ACTIONS [...]

My friend Leah is a consultant for The United States of Tara. Hear what she has to say:

So not only am I uncomfortable with the impermanence, now I find I must analyze,  interpret, find some meaning in the lines and dots and dashes and swoops.
Both manifestations have what could be considered an eye. Is this the opening up of the eye?  a reminder to see?  to look at myself.  Perhaps this is [...]

Hi All!
I’m looking for blogs to read that are more of the telling stories variety and less of the the commenting on the news variety… especially if they are regional in nature (any region, but stories of the Southwest would be preferable)
Actually I’ll be writing a paper tentatively titled “The Emergence of Blogs as the [...]

Starting in January 2006 I started blogging for SanDiegoBlog.com. It was a community blog run by my dear friend Joe Crawford (one of the smartest guys I know). I blogged off and on for almost 2 years. The ads he had running on the site pretty much paid for hosting– his hope was [...]

Just a little heads up. I will no longer be accepting comments from you. It’s not that I don’t appreciate civil discourse. But civil is in fact the operative word here.
You make a lot of patronizing references to “people like you” and “the likes of you” as if you know me. You know [...]

KPBS has just launched the Citizen Voices Blog today.
Without me.
They had the opportunity to talk about the project, partisanship and politics and the upcoming election on the KPBS These Days program, hosted by Tom Fudge.
I must say, it looks like an interesting lineup of political bloggers. And of course in hindsight, it’s probably [...]

Yeah me! I made it through to Round 2, and the producer has asked for more writing samples.
Let me preface the next commentary with saying that 1. I love KPBS and 2. I welcome the opportunity to apply for the Citizen Voices project and 3. I have no idea how I would choose blogger/writers…
HOWEVER.
