  • Catching up on incoming links

    I was trying out Technorati’s new ego-charting feature on my last name and discovered a few sites out there mentioning the book or linking to this blog. For example, Know More Media lists The Power of Many under Blogging Books that Influenced Us, We Media 2.0 lists it under Appendix: Books – Other, and it…

  • New York Times Hides Cheney Spy

    Hid him in plain sight, I might add, on the back page of the Saturday national edition.
