  • And then we were 9…

    Brava to the Julie/Julia Project foodie blog, which passed me yesterday in the rankings, moving me to number 8. Sometime today, the Devil’s Excrement (damn! I forgot to post the 1/23 Venezuela blog-day badge in time!) will pass me as well, leaving me in 9th place. There I will probably rest for a while, waiting…

  • Layne's prescriptions for Salon

    Ken Layne would run Salon a lot more like a blog: If I ran Salon, I’d cut the staff to a dozen—six on editorial, six on business. I’d cancel the subscription program, “Salon blogs,” that audio crap, the lousy replacement for Mr. Blue, Table Talk, The Well and all the other chaff. Get out of…
