No Comment
The comments feature on the blog isn't working properly at the moment, so apologies if you've been trying to post and haven't been able to get through. Ah, technology. We're working on it.

Link Rot!
Well, kids, the Chronicle launched its new website last week, and the old links to my Chron stories don't work any more. I have asked our tech folks whether the problem is likely to go away (ha!)--whether, in other words, those old URLs will eventually redirect readers to archived stories on the new site. I may have to go through and change the links by hand, though. If you're looking for a story of mine in the meantime, please drop me a line and I will send you a working URL. [Insert platitude about technology making life harder.]
UPDATE 7/31/09: I am told that this problem will go away soon. Exactly how soon I don't know.

Me and the AAUP (x2)
It has been busy around here: a podcast about Google Book Search to record, two AAUP conferences to cover (profs and presses--the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American University Presses), two feature stories and a Hot Type column to wrap up, and a guest-blogging stint for Bookslut (this week--come visit). I've also got a couple of extra-curricular writing projects in different stages of development, plus the family, cats, house, and garden to tend to. The usual delightful madness. If somebody would go ahead and invent self-folding laundry, it would really help me out.
If you follow such matters, you can find my AAUP coverage here (profs) and here (presses) and my latest Hot Type here. (Subscription required--sorry.) More on features and extracurriculars when the time is ripe.
