The Media Drop

Before saying anything, I’m linking to the place where the best tribute I’ve seen for something like this has been done.
For those of you who’ve known me for awhile, you’ll probably remember that I launched AdJab for Weblogs, Inc. back on Super Bowl Sunday of 2005. I’d been working on the project for months and […]

For those of you into mixed martial arts (or MMA, as it’s called), you might be familiar with the story of Ryan Bennett, MMAWeekly founder and announcer for the sport, who died just two days ago at age 35. Ryan’s brother, Randall, is one of the writers at Weblogs, Inc., where I write on a […]
