I'm having trouble getting "BlogThis" to work, which means (I can see) that I blog less, because I hate having to spend extra time logging into Blogger and copy/pasting urls if I want to publish. Just havent got time for that. There is a BlogThis function in the google toolbar, but for some reason, when posting through this, posts dont get posted to the blog, they just go into Blogger, and I have to log-on and ask to publish anyway :(. Bugger. Probably something to do with some general javascript problems I have, but havent had time to sort it out.

Anyway, been afk on a fall break last week with friend. We went to Savannah, and had some interesting "experiences" there, I want to write about at some point. Photos in BlogAtlanta.

Right now I'm in for a couple of days of heavy writing and then thursday I'm off to New York where I (on the spur of the moment, since it's only a 2 hour flight from Atlanta) are attending the Online News Associations (ONA) conference. They discuss blogs, and multimedia design, and citizen journalism and a lot of other interesting stuff, and Im quite exited about interacting with a bunch of new media journalists, an interesting change of conference crowd.

On the ONA website, you can learn that the "Creative Reporter [a zine?] pays citizen journalists" and that you can actually now get a job as "Blog Producer" with CNN. And if you want you can download a podcast which guides you through the streets of NY from a journalist's perspective. Nice. I get the feeling these guys have a pretty good feel of what's happening and possible at the moment. Perhaps this time, I will get the chance to liveblog without hickups.
