Hey, I’m famous.

Well, not really. But it was interesting being on the other side of the notebook.

It’s also interesting to see all the attention Gore’s tenure at Columbia is getting — and how negative it is. It seems obvious to everyone now how massively the school is being played: Gore’s class being off the record, media being barred from the occasion, a general clamping down on information instead of the openness you’d expect from a journalism school.

On other news: I haven’t been posting much recently, but I have a good reason. My site is undergoing a massive overhaul. I’m totally redefining the interface and content; it should be relaunched on Samuel Pepys’ birthday (in honor, of course, of the diary section you’re now reading.)

Anyway, the redesign is taking up much of the time I have blocked off in my schedule for web stuff. I’ll still have sporadic postings between now and the relaunch — but if you wonder away because of the lack of new content, make sure you come back in a week or two to experience all the bells and whistles.
