Well, it's done. The packing is finally, finally done and I am home nice and early to enjoy the rest of my afternoon: a reward for all my hard work over the last couple weeks. Got into the office this morning and banged the rest of it out and left at 1:00 p.m. in excellent conscience. Even better is the three day weekend between now and Tuesday morning when the unpacking and adjustment to the new space will begin. That's the fun part.
I was watching Jon Stewart last night and he and Stephen Colbert had a long dialogue on bloggers. I find it somewhat incredible that blogs like Daily Kos, Wonkette and Atrios have been regularly cited recently during discussions in the media about bloggers and their influence. Jon Stewart's show did an amazing job of portraying blogs as a worthy alternative to mainstream news. It was sweet. Seeing the concept of blogs soaring towards the popularity and acclaim that it deserves is extremely satisfying. Blogs have arrived. I have to say that it feels good to have been a miniscule part of this limitless internet movement. What will ultimately become of it all? Right now blogs are just starting to gain real recognition.
Some of these spotlit bloggers are seriously kickin' ass for the blogging team. It won't be long before mainstream news is left far behind in a cloud of dust and mascara hued tears by people who actually give a shit about the truth and live in the real world enough to tell it.

Here's a blog we all should support. They're going through some tough times, and need help to stay on the air. If you don't know Kevin Hayden's "The American Street," it's one of the better, bigger, group blogs. Smart and funny, worth your while. Check it out and maybe send some Paypal dough their way. They need it, and they deserve it. Even just a few bucks, if you can, peoples. Thanks.
