The brilliant and kind people at Flattr have deemed today to be a good day to take a few minutes to tangibly support the creators of the blogs we enjoy so much all year 'round.

Last week Canadian television journalist Kai Nagata quit his job and blogged about why. It's a long read, and worth it.

So many little things collecting in my brain, and I haven't set any of them down here. Time to remedy that! *Rolls in my trusted bulleted list.* After a decade wondering what it would be like, I was on the radio. Not live radio, but radio all the same. In a studio, with a schmancy...
