After a whole lot of thought and long conversations with people like Thilk, I’m shifting the way that TMD works to go back to some of the core stuff I did way back when the site was launched - namely, interviews of people in “media.” From hiphopmusic.com’s Jay Smooth to former Bloglines dude Mark Fletcher, those were some of the cooler things I got to look into and publish, and I hope to do pretty much 99% of the same going forward. My publishing schedule will be better (obviously) than the dismal zero for awhile that it has been for a month or so here, and I’m hoping to bring in some audio or video for these interviews whenever possible - sobe on the lookout!

All that said, what I’ve really been spending my time on is putting together (and launching, last night), Groomify, a blog dedicated to groom-related stuff for guys, since there aren’t a ton of good resources out there for that sort of thing. It’s not meant to be an FAQ on how to ask people to be in your wedding (though we’ll cover it) or tell you exactly how to dress (we’ll cover that, too), but to talk about all kinds of things that are potentially involved with being part of a wedding, whether you’re a best man or the man of the hour. So please keep an eye on me over there, along with tombiro.com, where I spend a bunch of time, too.

More soon, and thanks for sticking around!

This morning, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” had the Times‘ Washington Bureau Chief, Sarah Baxter, on to speak about the “deal” and what that looked like.

Howard Kurtz surprisingly doesn’t really push too hard on the “leak” issue regarding Drudge, and it seems that Baxter wasn’t exactly concerned about the “carrot” that was used to keep the British media quiet on what had been going on all along. Ethics issue, or are we all just making a big deal about this only because it’s about the prince?

Thinking that I’d heard the story before, but that maybe this was a very cool addition to Gmail’s RSS clips with new news, I clicked through. As it turns out, it was a story from four days ago that was, for some reason, still up there. While I can understand keeping things like that queued up, I found it kind of off-putting that it’d still be there when it wasn’t actually breaking news. Just my two cents.
