Worked for a good bit of the day on something we'll be rolling out soon that accounted for my somewhat spotty posting this week. I'll be deeper in the game next week.

Just got my copy of Eric Boehlert's new book Bloggers on the Bus: How the Internet Changed Politics and the Press and gave it the "Washington read," where I go to the index and look for people I know. Read the Digby section but I am NOT IN THERE. The nerve! :)

So far it's quite good, if familiar. Will probably read that over the weekend. I really have to get through more books - lately it seems like I read something and put it down and pick up something else, and the cycle repeats.
