Or: &#8220;Holy Frijoles. Five years?&#8221;


Or: &#8220;So THAT just happened.&#8221;


Or: &#8220;In a few hours the circle closes and I am going to yell about it from my little rooftop because although it ain&#8217;t really all that huge &#8212; wow it sure feels huge to me.&#8221;


Warning: personal story ahead.  And yeah, it&#8217;s kind of long.  [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s interesting stuff brewing in Baltimore right now.   I&#8217;d like to commend to your attention two things in particular:

Number 1

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, a world-class symphony with a world-class conductor, is taking a sledgehammer to their own pedestal.

Brian Howard.


Some folks affect you disproportionately.  Brian has been one of those.  I&#8217;m not sure exactly how to describe it.  It&#8217;s probably silly for me to pull the word &#8220;hero&#8221; into the description, but I&#8217;m not sure I can really avoid the word either.  Little things can confer that status on [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s early Saturday morning, my wife just went to work, and residing in my mental register are about eight things that take drastically higher priority over writing a blog post.


So heeeeyyyeeeeeere I am.  Top of the morning to you.  I&#8217;ve got a date with the farmers&#8217; market in about an hour, so let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Figure 53 in the Baltimore Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just walked down to Eddie&#8217;s Market and picked myself up a few copies of today&#8217;s Baltimore Sun.

The checkout lady (who loves to gab and give advice) grinned and asked if I was in it.  I guess buying four copies is a give-away.  I mumbled yes, which sent her diving into the stack, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peddling with Principle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Speaking of TED talks, on Thursday Baltimore played host to TEDx MidAtlantic.


Among many brain-bending talks was one by Joel Salatin, the now-famous farmer from Polyface Farms.


In Joel&#8217;s talk he challenged us to bring nobility and sacredness to our work.  He said:


My success is tied to the cumulative effect of everyday stories, and faithfulness to [...]]]></description>

		<title>They&#8217;re Shining Because They&#8217;re New</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few days ago I tweeted the following assertion:


There are many glorious TED talks, but this may be the most glorious.





I don&#8217;t mind telling you: I wept at my desk when I watched this video.


I took little time to share the video on Twitter, and it was not much later when my friend Jen Wang [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mmmmm, Metrics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few days ago Devon Smith announced she&#8217;s been working on quantifying how well LORT theaters use Twitter.


This is neat.  I like this idea, and in the spirit of public feedback about it, here&#8217;s, uh, some public feedback:

The Metrics I Generally Dig

@mentions &#8212; Measuring mentions captures something about both re-tweets and conversations.  Both [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Trouble with Names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Until very recently, I&#8217;ve been able to write this blog in the comfortable confidence that no one was reading it.


It is therefore with mild horror that I now realize at least a handful of people are actually, um, reading this blog.  I remain (intentionally) ignorant as to exactly how many times the server is [...]]]></description>
